    the chancellor, foreign secretary and health secretary all warned separately that the public has lost faith in mainstream politics and that if they fail, voters will turn toward the far-left or far-right.

    Oh no, not the far-left!

      The far-left and the far-right are two cheeks of the same arse.

      They’re both extremists, let’s not pretend one is better than the other.

        Let’s definitely pretend one is better than the other.

        One seeks an egalitarian future where people’s needs are met and power imbalances are kept in check.

        The other seeks strict hierarchy where only those at the tops needs are met, by those at the bottom. And power is kept firmly in the hands of those who wield it.

        If your view of far left comes from the likes of the USSR or China, then I have a bridge to sell you.

          Well at least you haven’t made it massively simplistic. 🤦
