The Far Right in Britain: Guardian Explainers

[mentalfloss]

Excellent documentary about the rise of populist movements in Britain since WW1 and how - surprise, surprise - they've always been a front for racism.

Populist- i.e. popular.

By the way, why did The Graun show a group of people celebrating the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977 at the beginning of that daft film? Were they all "Far Right racists", too?

Populist doesn't mean popular and populism can still be a front for racism even if not every supporter is racist.

Though they technically are racist by association.

The Guardian's version of far right is anyone right of Stalin.

And....do you know who you can blame for that?

All the idiots that opened the floodgates to radical Islam, the moron appeasers who have become so politically "correct" (read "ludicrous") that Englishmen get a good talking to for singing "Kung Fu Fighting" and arrested for quoting Winston Churchill while in a political campaign......while Islamists kill dozens in bombings, and behead soldiers on the street.

In other words all the "progressive" morons that have tried to turn society at large into a kindergarten of touchy-feelyness and relativism.......and instead created exactly the kind of society George Orwell warned of.......and the backlash is just starting.
