• I don't know if you have missed it...

    I hadn’t ;-)

    I try not to base my response to each and every political issue on my gut reaction to it.

  • Neither do I, but do you think by now the rhetorics are really getting out of hand? It is not just Farage anymore, but the actual PM of the UK.

    Anyways, my very first point was that often conversations are "driven" by fearmongering/anger creation, and then called "the will of the people".

    The attacks on Polish immigrants, refugees as cockroaches, I don't see what is perse conspiracy theory about it. The idea is to stir people up, make sure they don't think clearly/logically and then claim it to be "will of the people"

  • Yes it’s all divisive. Not sure it tells us anything. It’s the product of a country radicalised on one weird issue that’s become a catch-all issue for some. Extremists are in charge because MPs didn’t act on the advice of the ref result and the opposition were also split.
