    The best way to beat candidates like this is to hear what they actually think and then use that against them.

    A prime example of this working was when the then leader of the BNP, Nick Griffin, went on Question Time. Straight after that they ceased to be a political force and we’ve not heard from them since.

      That did not work with trump in the U.S.

      Gave the guy a platform and he ended up winning.

            Well, seeing as the EU is turning into some far-right hellscape, I’m glad we got out of it!

              There was a small increase in the far right’s vote share. I’m pretty sure all those front pages were written last week.
