This is like the old schoolyard riposte of ‘no, you’re xxx’ (whatever the xxx accusation was). In other words, somebody accuses you, and all you can come back with is ‘no, that’s you, that is’. Dec’s accessing and posting UKIP chaff is quite obviously by way of a sort of fact-checking service - establishing the provenance of your latest fly-tipped drivel. I’m glad somebody is prepared to get soiled in order to do it.
Not so sure about that…They do see it. The conflation is deliberate.
The National Fronts are racist parties, aren’t they?
Our very own Le Pen was a eurodéputé but she proned Frexit at some point. Stupid woman. Stupid electors who voted en masse for her.
Any bells?
No one can say whether she was really, deep down, a Remainer or a closet Brexiter. It is possible she doesn't know either.
My guess is May's ideology on the subject was shaped by her frustrations as the Home Secretary, her ambition and total opportunism. As long as it looked that Remain was going to carry the day, she pragmatically took a (minimum service) Remain stance, just enough to stay in with Cameron. After the shock of the referendum result and Cameron's departure, she saw opportunity for herself but realized she needed to get back in with the ERG headbangers, sharpish, to secure the party head position and, more importantly, hold on to it as PM. The Lancaster House speech was her way of trying to secure her position, and to hell with the consequences.
Brexit has happened,
It hasn't, the main issues were all kicked down the road and the reckoning for them is still awaited. That is why this issue is still alive and it will be for many moons.

Brexit has happened, it wasn't rainbows and unicorns, nor was it armageddon. I'm more concerned about what Johnson and his far-right authoratarian Government are doing to the UK and what state it will be in by the time that enough of the sheeple wake up to them.
Seventeen million well-informed people who knew what they were doing.
We have Macron for the same reasons here. Only idiots voted for him.
Depends on the context. National Socialism, National Front, British National Party, etc.I’m often bemused that people don’t see the distinction between racist-nationalist (BNP;UKIP, etc) and nationalist-nationalist (SNP). The word ‘nationalist’ is not a synonym for ‘racist’.
I thought Boris was of that of that opinion.Not convinced, sorry Matthew. I like to keep Dominic Cummings where I can see him.
The two are inseparable. Brexit brought far-right nationalism right into the mainstream, Johnson’s till-dipping Trump-clones are the political manifestation. It also destroyed Labour as a political force. At every stage the Tories are shoring-up their position. I suspect it will be all but impossible to get rid of them now.
The SNP is a single issue, nationalist party supported by nationalists. It has no other policies of any note. Ukip is described similarly.UKIP are/were a racist party. The Tories have turned into UKIP and have absorbed them. The SNP are a Scottish party. They aren’t racist.
