Far-right rallies attracting biggest numbers since 1930s

I feel quite depressed about and scared of the future in the UK.

As a disabled person who at the moment is incapable of working I wonder if a future government will become even more cruel towards people who are unemployed (even though the cost of providing benefits for unemployed people is nothing, a drop in the ocean, compared to how much money is hidden offshore by tax evaders).

It's worth remembering that the 1930s were when fascism was becoming a major force in the world - Mussolini, Franco, Hitler; and also another kind of brutal ideology was powerful at the time, Bolshevism (a twisted form of socialism that also saw the massacre of "undesirables" in the eyes of the ruling mob) in Russia.

Since far-right Bolsonaro has got power in Brazil deforestation in the countr is up 90% which is an environmental catastrophe as Brazil is home to the world's most precious rainforest.

  • There are several different flavours of the so called far right including:

    Nationalist

    Capitalist

    Religious

    Tommy Robinson - out for a pint and a punch up

    One who is member of one flavour is not necessarily (or in most cases) a member of another flavour.

    The BNP went from strength to strength after they abandoned the marches and the confrontation politics in the streets at the end of the 1990s, and started operating like a 'normal' political party, so rallies aren't always the keys to winning mass public support.
