My latest book is a political one: “Brexitspeak: Demagoguery and the Decline of Democracy”.
The whole framework of authoritarian populism rests on unreason, denial of facts, and provoking dangerous emotions.

This is the poster that closely resembles Nazi racist propaganda footage. Whether Farage knew what he was doing or not, it’s the same Nazi mindset.

You can’t criticise Farage without criticising Brexit. And the rhetoric too. See my recent book, Brexitspeak: Demagoguery and the Decline of Democracy!

Authoritarians and dictators generally show signs of cognitive rigidity, narcissistic personality disorder, delusions, and more. We need the clinicians and neuro-psychologists to help us out and speak out

And Trump said he had one disagreement with Charlie Kirk. That he, Trump, hated his opponents. Trump is full of hate. He wants to deliberately damage his own country’s people. This is the talk of a dangerous despot.

Brits, beware and prepare… Imagine Trump’s follower Farage subverting Oxford, Cambridge,and more.

Farage’s nationalist-populism is following his hero Trump along the path to dismantle democracy and human rights. The destination is authoritarianism and fascism.
