Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

With its general election just a week away, fears are mounting that the hard-right Vox party could form part of the national government. The win would embolden far-right parties that have been thriving across Europe. The UK cannot afford to be complacent about the rise of the protectionist far-right that's taking shape all around us.

Yeah, they like being moderate-right, but the far right and the UK have a long and storied history going back many centuries.

I think it's dangerous to only have the national view on this, as the article suggests. This is not an isolated phenomenon: Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, probably soon France, Sweden, Hungary and Poland for ages.... And globally, with the likes of Modi in India. Very bad times are coming again
