UK Politics Thread (Part 4)

@Lynch04

A couple of months a go, I raised the issue with you, in a direct response to one of your posts about the rise of the Far Right across Europe. You dismissed it on the back of sensationalist stories from the media. But now you realise that the Far Right are gaining momentum across Europe.

Ah yes, you mean this post: UK Politics Thread (Part 3) - #9854 by redalways which you quoted as a reply to me suggesting that I was dismissing the rise of the far-right, ignoring what my post actually said.

And now you’re back to repeat that once again? Sounds remarkably like what I was criticising.

Here’s a recap of what I actually said (for the avoidance of doubt, the original post had no formatting, the formatting is added for emphasis as an effort to halt this continued misrepresentation):

@redalways

You mean the rise based on sensationalised stories that turn out to have little bearing in truth and are often manufactured precisely for their outrage values? You ignore the fact that the “problems” regarding immigration are constantly blown out of proportion or even manufactured (see the asylum system backlog) to create precisely that kind of perception to keep or get right-wing parties in power.

Yes, that is dismissing the rise of the far-right indeed.

Not to mention, that exact post is literally describing what you just replied to me about.

Lies. Literal lies. Like how much clearer do you want it made to you?

Are you for real? Look, reinterpret it in what ever way you want.
So, to confirm, is there a increasing threat from Far Right parties across Europe?
