Another false aspect is this concept of 'far right'. For a start they, like many other outlets, refuse to define what this even means. I consider myself a pretty traditional economic socialist with a social democratic system, favor proportional representation, equality of opportunity for all citizens. My views on immigration are really no different to how the actual policies were for much of the 20th century and are in alignment with traditional left wing tenets and even right wing tenets too when you think of it. Both sides had a consistency that was totally deviated from. The only aspect where I might be deemed difficult is where I point out facts and those facts do include negative views about immigration particularly when it comes to the lack of integration, the financial costs to the system, and the sheer numbers. However, if you poll people you will find that it is the establishment that has lost connection with what people actually think and they frankly do not care about it. The left wing types like Billy Bragg live in lush mansions themselves. Lily Allen would never take in a refugee. It is a lot of virtue signalling. Why doesn't Billy rough it in a dodgy area? He knows he doesn't fancy it.
