[News] Undercover: Exposing the far right. Channel 4

[BadFish]

I was not commenting on the content of the programme, just the assertion of the moving of the Overton window.

For info of others, your assumption was wrong too. Nord VPN, necessary for the Mrs to watch Strictly. Assumption……..you know the rest

Apologies, you have watched it but chose instead to comment about something else, on a thread about the show, without referencing the programme at all, that you definately have watched.

I'll forgive myself that little assumption.

It's only used by those in denial on the "hard right" to excuse how aligned they have become (if only in rhetoric alone) to the traditional far right.

Exactly this.

 

[Chicken Run]

People thought the internet would build a global village.

Instead we got a horde of village idiots waving flaming torches and pitchforks.

I found the documentary a bit slow, and whilst the undercover work was both excellent and brave, the network of activity they did reveal was reassuringly small and - dare I say - a bit tinpot.

The highlight for me was the explanation of The Overton Window. It explains much about why Tory politics is where it is now.

There was a huge amount of racism in Labour under Corbyn.

I'll just leave that there for you:

Exclusive extract from new book says Corbyn’s appearance at Glastonbury was a key moment in the party’s long way back to power. And as one anti-Corbyn group tried to build a moderate coalition, it also needed a credible leader …

What’s your point? I read the article. The Electoral Commission found that Labour under Corbyn had a systemic racism problem.

They found out who the big funder was who it seems has plenty of form elsewhere.

Some big donors behind these groups

I sometimes struggle to tell people read a lot about the far right but I do...

But yes, very little new there. Didn't focus on the ideological infighting.
