ORIGINAL: NorthernGent Conservative, liberal or left-wing; there will not be a time when a platform is shared with the far right (in England). The reason being that members of the far right are uniformly ill-educated and devoid of any claim to political acumen. Wellington once described his army as the scum of the earth, and that's how we view the far right. So how do you view the far left? I'm not sure a far left exists in this country, and the far right will be somewhere around 0.5% of the population. It's a moderate country born to compromise, and the absence of any significant far right and far left speaks volumes in terms of what we think about both extremes. Socialists, however, and there tends to be few of them these days, are undoubtedly better educated than the far right (in this country). Given a chance, they remain a mob, and to me they're pretty much the same people as the far right except they're shouting about different things. So, much better educated, but a mob all the same - when occasion calls. And, to the other bloke, yes, whatever else the left are, they are certainly not racist (in England any road). that's interesting. Over here we have racists on both sides of the fence. It's sad that that kind of ignorance still exists but it does. Kinda like the sneeches and the stars, some people are always going to find a reason to hate. The only thing you can do is slap then down when you hear it and try to raise the next generation to know better.
