It's bizarre. There are dozens of think tanks, campaign groups, charities and trusts, and lots of propaganda through social media and representation as 'experts', vox pop, etc., spewing hatred and violence, but a central theme is to accuse sinister far right organisations of........ hatred and violence.

Meanwhile, on the right, what is there? Tommy Robinson is becoming over-used as a hate-association, and the EDL disappeared long ago, as did the BNP. No wonder they have to invent the 'BDL', and employ actors, and invent nasty things.

I, too, fear for the future, because the left has all the power, through the current government, civil service, and increasingly it seems, the police and the courts.

Our only hope is democracy, and numbers, and communication via social media (for the moment). By-elections and local elections offer a route (also vulnerable to central government).

It looks from this as though an attempt is being made to neutralise help from Trump.
