    It’s not really theory, more fact. That’s what makes it relatively easy for anyone involved in the far right to jump to the far left, and vice versa

    I see Matt 'the app' HanCOCK doesnt follow the guidelines he drills into everyone else daily. Is it any wonder why nobody listens to or takes this government seriously. In the space of 4 months they have completely ruined the country

    Maybe about the same time they show how government contracts are given out or when Johnson starts telling the truth. You need to get over it though Bob, exciting times .... Tim Tams

    I was unaware of this. Maybe I was too hasty to condemn them. That sounds good.

    Some on here would consider me far left, but I'm really not. I'm more in the near distance really. I have to say, though, that I find that statement less than believable. Anyone of the left (far or otherwise) that can easily switch to the the other side didn't really have much conviction in the first place it seems to me, and therefore doesn't qualify.

    Ricky Tomlinson was a member of the National Front, as was Matthew Collins.
    Kevin Day did a whole stand up about how he was a teenage racist’

    I like to think of myself as far left....but regrettably I’ve had a different past.

    Im sure there are more examples

    Maybe we can do an exchange with Australia, they give us some Bondi beach stunners and we can give them some slags from Hull

    Perhaps they just became educated, what examples do you have of the opposite journey?

    Totally agree....but still proves the very fact that it is easy to swap over.

    Of the examples you quoted, only Ricky Tomlinson is determinedly now of the left as far as I'm aware.

    What are the examples of travel in the opposite direction?
