The television media, lead by the BBC and taking its cue from the English press, is platforming fascism. They have brought these extremists inside the tent of acceptable and respectable discourse. I think one of the first effects, the collapse of the centre right, is perhaps entirely unintended.

And if we can keep Nigel happy, his voters happy, Reform happy…with Kier’s nationalised British Steel…

Exactly. I was trying to suggest that the very people who refer to the ECHR as a “foreign court” are now courting EM, who is actually foreign (unlike the ECHR).

Yes, for one thing, the donation sums being mentioned would skew the political landscape out of recognition. Also, some Brits seem to have difficulty recognising that EM is foreign. He is certainly a much bigger foreign threat than the ECHR.

And is this correction of assumptions going to be broadcast far and wide? Or will it just be quietly forgotten as yesterday’s news?

This is a right wing rallying point now, isn’t it? “Homelessness is a lifestyle choice.” As if…

Niche is the word: it’s got groove, it’s got feeling.
