Off Topic The threat from the Far-Right

Great post

 

He isn’t on my Christmas card list il admit. People who do like him need to do some research and see who is funding him because many working class people are turkeys voting for Christmas if he got any kind of power.

 

Perhaps the main parties need to get away from their little extreme focus groups and actually listen to the vast majority who are the silent class.

Dodgy Nigel, Eton educated ‘man of the people’ who wants to run our country

 

Says the financial adviser

 

Maybe this is where people like you get a false picture ….
‘Our investigation into X's algorithm has found that far-right content is pushed onto users as soon as they make an account.

We made a profile - Bob Smith - and were immediately confronted with a post deriding the “tens of thousands [who] arrive illegally on boats” which then sucked poor Bob Smith into a rabbit hole of hate-filled posts.

Data from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD) reveals that hateful content on X has skyrocketed, with abusive posts about migrants in the UK rising from half a million in 2023 to more than two million so far in 2025.

I can certainly attest to worrying amounts of far-right content popping up on my own X feed (despite not interacting with any such content I must hastily add) and understand now why many people are moving to other platforms such as Bluesky.’

 

Says who????

 

There us so much bollocks on here about Farage, it's unreal, till you know him and his team, it's all just what the BBC want you to believe.

 

Chairman Mao.

 

Not doing them much harm.

 

Yeah he's not actually the Farnborough born private school educated son of a stockbroker the press make out. It's a little known fact that he was born and brought up in Barclay Court flats near Roker Park, his dad was an unemployed shipyard worker and his mam waited on in the Wheatsheaf pub. Young Nigel sold programmes outside Roker Park on Match days to help put food on the table and became a staunch Sunderland fan even though he couldn't afford to go in the ground and sat outside listening to the roar of the crowd until sneaking in for the last 20 min when the gates opened.

Sounds very similar to the story we got about Starmer.

 

Another 1000+ arrived yesterday on boats across the channel. All fleeing from war torn France.
At a conservative cost, this would equate to a minimum of £365m a year, just for those.
Not to mention the government estimate of 1 million illegals immigrants already here.
I can’t guess on how much it costs the taxpayer. My calculator doesn’t have enough noughts.
No wonder the “far right” are making their voices heard.
