  1. Could you give a definition of "far right" (as opposed to politically "right") and what it is about someone that makes them so? Is there a still a historical economic element to being "right wing" or has that been lost in the discourse? It' seems to be a term that's used to mean someone like me who traditionally has supported the average working man (or woman). If some of the things that Farage says resonates with me, does that mean I'm becoming a Nazi or does it mean I qualify as one if I see real problems with the status quo? What about people like Neil Oliver, Douglas Murray, and others like them who express similar concerns about things like immigration. Are they "far right"? I'd be genuinely interested in your analysis.

  2. @dogglebird4430  I always considered the 'National Socialist German Workers' Party' and 'right wing' being a bit of a paradox. Interestingly, Tim expresses a view that Farage supporters are a bunch of malcontents looking for a saviour to haul them out of their self-made misery. It seems to me to be the opposite, whereby people are sick and tired of hearing people highlighting the evils of the emperial or colonial past, destroying statues, and advocating reparations.
