To be fair, I believe that even "Hate" parties should get a vote if you want to see true democracy at play. Whether that be hatred of the rich or immigrants or homosexuals or Catholics or whatever... But then the 1930s happened, and we saw what a combination of hard times and populism can bring. You may see those in power as self-serving elites. That may indeed be true. But I genuinely think that many in power are also terrified of a repeat of history, especially those with influence who were most effected by the last horrors. They will fight to the death with all they have to ensure it doesn't happen again. If that means banning and oppressing hate parties, then so be it. Well said. People have very short memories and many no memory at all of the horrors you allude to. Banning hate is not the same as banning democracy. It’s establishing a minimum low bar, which every candidate must clear, of tolerance and decency.

For a couple of years under Mosley (a Labour MP) the BUF had a national membership of around 500,000. However even at their height they couldn't even get an MP elected so I agree. The danger from the far right is vastly over estimated. There have been far more communist MPs hiding behind Labour than fascist ones under the Tories. According to polls Enoch Powell's opinions were far more popular than Heath's and given a chance the country would probably have elected him. And this country would still be British in the real sense of the word. But our famous 'democracy' ensured that people didn't get what they wanted and the leftist inclined media spent decades feminising a once great nation into egalitarianism. I make the contention that the far more relevant danger are the consequences of Powell having never come to power. It certainly won't be the 'far right' who see yours and mine's descendants flee the country. Something that is probably eventually inevitable. As far as I'm concerned if only this 'danger'...this 'scary far right' had come to power I'd still have my beloved country....instead of this disfigurement of it.

The three main parties are 'Hate' parties, they hate white, straight, working class people, most men in general (particularly anyone with the surname of Trump) and many in Labour hate Jews as well.

I’d love to know whether this was approved by the attending of numerous sub-committees that each put their stamp on the project. I’d particularly like to know whether the university’s environmental impact department had any objections, and what their comments were. Maybe man made climate change isn’t as important after all…
hats off to palace, they were always gonna be louder, and hate to say it but they were impressive ALL bouncing and singing. |

Do you think whoever writes the copy for their website is also part of the group who reviews the application and recommends whether it is accepted? Or do you think they just write a short summary? All I am saying is that only those who actually made the decision have all the information and know why it was made. If that’s their job then so long as the funder is happy we should let them do their job. There are far too many know it alls around. Especially if they allow themselves to be “informed” by the Daily Mail.

Enoch Powell was undoubtedly an interesting man with many admirable qualities, especially in his early academic and military life. The idea that his failure to attain the position of PM was the start of British decline is though risible. More like a bullet dodged. Even the Telegraph accused him of playing into the hands of the National Front and being a racist. His attitude can though be heard today in the echo chambers of the right. If he was still with us he would no doubt be regularly to be seen on GBNews and being touted as the next leader of Reform and the man to “save” our country. Other opinions exist:-
