    Everyone that isn’t a Leftist gets slapped with the far-right label these days though. Especially by the British government where ANY anti-immigration sentiment or even patriotism is branded dangerous far-right.

    Hell even waving our own flag in Britain will get you labelled as far-right.

    The term gets thrown around while most people don’t really understand it. That is what is dangerous.

        If you’re referring to the flag there are local authorities that will TRY and order you to take down the Union Jack as it can be offensive to some people. Which usually results on more flags being flown.

        Is there another country on Earth where the feelings of foreigners is placed above and beyond the national flag?

        Yes I know why. There are far-right people. (Possibly Musk and Trump) but then there are right wing people. People that simply want free speech, a free and open internet, privacy, border controls and not have illegal immigrants going to the head of the line for public services. Non of which we have anymore in the UK. But everyone not left wing gets lumped together and branded a far-right extremist.

        The leftists are completely tolerant of others. Until you disagree with them.
