This is a long article (excerpts from a book apparently) but it’s interesting.
Basically the author, a man with Jewish heritage, makes a fake persona and joins far-right groups. He’s assisted by the group Hope Not Hate.
What do you think of the far-right? One of the interesting points that is made in the article a few times is that some far-right adherents, met by the author, seem to want friendship more than anything else. At least that’s the author’s view.
How does it work on the continent, for example? Multinationals don’t exist? Or do the governments over there restrict what they can and can’t do such that you can have multiple neighbourhoods with good quality cheap food and drink and great service year round.
I simply don’t know. I am ignorant of how continental governments manage this problem, or if they are suffering the same fate at all.
I do know that the French National Electricity supplier EDF, is owned by the French government and operates here, making vast profits that benefit the French.
I have no issue with the French, past the friendly banter that hangs off the back of centuries of shared history. Honestly, we Brits could do with being more like the French. That is to say; willing to bring the whole fucking country to it’s knees when the politicians do something they don’t like.
Perhaps it will take a British version of the French Revolution to jnstil the populace with that kind of fortitude, confidence, and sense of duty to each other?
I will again point out how much change for the good would come of the Houses of Parliament burning to the ground, provided “we the people” are responsible for the event.
