There is little doubt that the United Kingdom is afflicted by a lot of serious problems but a well organised and effective Far Right is not one of them. As someone who has marched against the real Far Right in the form of the National Front and the British Movement I’ve seen this crap up close and personal so to speak.

Much of what the modern Left calls ‘far right’ is not at all related to the sort of Jackboot lickers who soiled the streets of my youth. When the modern Left rails about ‘the far right’ what they mean are not the dyed in the wool Hitler worshippers who might first come to mind and who I encountered in the past, but those who hold views that just a few decades ago would be considered as sensible and centrist. We now have a situation where to the Left who, dominate our society, stuff like calling for secure borders, assimilation instead of multiculturalism, accepting the reality of biological sex and wanting sensible energy policies is treated as evidence of being ‘far right’.

Mr Peter North a conservative minded commentator has raised the very valid point that many of Britain’s current problem ranging from open borders via mobs of Jew hating savages on our streets to kids being indoctrinated with gender nonsense and a piss poor energy policy are the fault of the Left. These problems are ones that the Left and those aligned to them have caused. It’s not the ‘far right’ that has been importing tens of thousands of people from cultures where rape and Jew hating are socially acceptable or filling kids heads with science free gender ideology or making us all cold, poor and hungry, it’s the Left that has done that.

My worry is that with a political and media culture dominated by the Left then people will look more and more towards the extremes in order to sort out the problems that the Left has brought to our nation. Having seen the genuine far right up close I know that what the Left calls the ‘far right’ clearly is not therefore I agree with Mr North in that when the real Far Right turn up painting themselves as saviours, then the Left would in Mr North’s words ‘shit themselves’. The Left as I see it are ready and willing to play the hardman when it comes to bullying people to say some bullshit ‘preferred pronouns’ but I doubt that they would be any use in counteracting some of the real far right should they appear on the streets.

Here’s Mr North’s piece. He can be found on Twitter/X as @PeteNorth303

A lot of people telling me I’m far right these days. I can’t be arsed to argue. You’ll shit your pants when a real far right shows up. But it’s not me who has the explaining to do.

I mean, you’ve got what you want. You’ve got your open borders. You’ve got feral migrants harassing schoolgirls and raping women. You’ve got the police to turn a blind eye to chants of antisemitic genocidal slogans. Jihadists can operate freely on the streets without consequence. You’ve got your machete wielding Bomalian gangs operating in broad daylight. You’ve got it so we can’t deport anyone. You’ve got your way on everything else too. You’ve got the state broadcaster pushing demented ideology on kids so they think hormone treatments and radical surgery is the answer to their teen angst.

You’ve got the media calling rapists by female pronouns. You can have people arrested for using the wrong pronouns. You’ve got your Net Zero and your useless windmills so people have to decide between heating and eating. You’ve got your EVs so only the rich can get around. You’ve got your forever war in Ukraine.

You’ve got it so people with right wing views can’t change things through the ballot box. You can rip down any statue you like and escape prosecution. You can mob politicians and blockade Jewish owned businesses and get away with it. Until Musk took over Twitter, you even got to decide who can have a public platform. You’ve successfully turned Britain into a despotic crime-ridden shit-tip without even having to win an election. Yet somehow it’s the “far right” that’s the problem. Given the damage you’ve done, you’re going to have to spell it out why being “far right” is a bad thing.

The Left has made a habit of calling anyone who challenges them or their narratives or policies ‘far right’. This looks to me like a classic case of crying wolf. The Left has smeared so many non far rightists with the label ‘far right’ that when the real Far Right comes along then nobody will believe any Leftist who points out the existence of a genuinely far right political movement.
