    He looks like a 23-year-old management consultant on his way to a barbecue in Clapham.

    If the international Nat West Group is not globalist, I don't know what is. Rose is a self-confessed Remainer, and even good, old fashioned socialists are calling the Group's ethos policies Woke. I don't know why you have a problem with any of those terms.

    As for the Left's claims of fascists everywhere, have a look at what's happening to nation states in the EU. Huge swings to the Right, much needed in, say, Sweden, but the spectre of Hard Right is raising it's head in countries like Spain and Germany.

    Assuming you are not using ‘globalist’ as an anti semitic trope, like Farage was, what exactly do you find offensive about globalist/internationalist enterprises? Surely they are just a consequence of modern free market capitalism?

    Of course I'm not using "globalist" as an anti-semitic trope. It's not allied to any race or religion in common parlance. Nor have I ever heard Farage say anything anti-semitic. Leave that to the Corbynites. I see Globalism as a description of Multinational companies, that by definition operate over borders, using their powerful position to, among other things, undermine attempts to maintain countries' borders. It's a shadowy influence that drifts along the corridors of five star hotels in Davos. It is answerable to very few, certainly not an electorate. And it has no interest how electorates vote.

    Notoriously frowned upon in Costa but there’s probably an independent coffee shop in Brighton where you wouldn’t even be the weirdest customer.

    Thankfully, yes, given Spain's fascist past. But there's been a move to the moderate right, that have won but don't have a majority. So now a stalemate with the socialists. Negotiations for a coalition could go on some time.
