It is sooo depressing. Question must be can we collectively change the tide of this nonsense before it is too late?
Look at the picture below from the daily mail - the 'Spartans'.... good grief - these people would see our country fall around our ears - just who the fuck do they think they are? - chasing out OAPs and putting our economy and safety at risk because of a zealous over the top bollocks...
To say I am rather cross would be an understatement...
Using the language of warrior and battle around Brexit is fucking right wing nasty dog whistles - a call to violence if they do not get their own way
It will not be enough that they are chasing old ladies out of the country, they want isolation.
They are horrible.
They would take our Britain and see it ruined.

People always leave that one out when defining this regime. Yet its one of the major "ists" that caused idiots to vote for Trump.

The question is whether the malignant cancers of racism and fascism have metastasized beyond the point of cure.
Effective treatment requires enlightened leadership and the participation of all good citizens.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has defended his decision to tweet a video of a speech by a senior member of Germanys far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), saying he did not endorse the partys views but the opinions expressed had real importance.
The Conservative backbencher and leading Brexiter faced strong criticism from some Labour MPs after tweeting a YouTube video of a speech by Alice Weidel, the leader of the AfDs 91 deputies in the Bundestag, the German parliament.
...
While the AfD began as an anti-euro campaign force, it has shifted its focus to immigration and Islam. Last year, an AfD poster for elections in Bavaria showed light-skinned teenagers running down a corridor with the slogan: Islam-free schools.
...
His Labour colleague Stella Creasy tweeted: We have to deal with the AfD on the Council of Europe. One of their reps claims that Muslims in Europe are seeking to kill all Germans. So forgive us @Jacob_Rees_Mogg if dont use them as you do as a metric for decent opinions by which we should be influenced.
