When far-left joins far-right

If there's one thing that is certain about British politics at the moment is that no matter where one looks there are strange alliance and extremism is seeping into the mainstream. The cause is two-fold. Brexit is the main one and although is the result of activities from the right of  the Conservative Party and the populist politician Nigel Farage.

Although nowhere near being a fascist himself Farage has come under fire for appearing on the broadcasts of one Alex Jones, a rather nasty right wing character. Amongst the things he he's discussed are "conspiracy" theories about international plots which borders on well pandering worst kind of theories that also crop up on the left with regularity.



Which neatly brings me to the other cause of mainstream extremism formed around the "messianic" figure of Jeremy Corbyn. Hos deluded followers include large numbers of rabid anti-Semites, not all disguised as anti-Zionists either. Corbyn is patron of the "Palestine Solidarity Campaign" which the London Evening Standard reports:

The Labour leader has been closely associated for two decades with the Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

PSC says it fights racism and is the largest organisation in the UK dedicated to securing Palestinian human rights.

However, close inspection of local PSC branches across the country reveals activists are sharing anti-Semitic cartoons of Jews and conspiracy theories about Israel controlling the world.

A Standard investigation found such images as a cartoon comparing Israeli Jews with white power neo-Nazis, an ugly caricature of a Jew sowing hand grenades in a field, and an image of Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu bathing in Palestinian blood posing with Adolf Hitler.

All were posted in the name of local branches of the PSC, despite the organisation insisting it is “unequivocally” opposed to anti-Semitism.

Given the on-going crisis of anti-Semitism inside the Labour Party this news from those who seek the genocide of a whole nation comes as no surprise. Their slogan "From the River to the Sea" chanted by Labour Party conference delegates says it all. It is the PSC who raise this slogan and provided the flags. Heil Hamas?

Returning the question of Europe it's been known the main far-left groups voted No to Europe. Amongst then the Socialist Workers Party, both of the former Militant wings the Socialist Party  & Socialist Appeal plus the "official" Communist Party of Britain (Morning Star).

The Communist Party is currently running a campaign to boycott the Euro elections, specifically not supporting the Labour Party. Since this is Jeremy's favourite (and probably only) read he must be torn. Labour is officially pro-Europe and most members want a second referendum. The old fool himself has always been anti-EU as so many of his young "disciples" have cottoned on to and are leaving disillusioned to the core.

The futures of the young have been stolen by the combination of fools from the left and charlatans from the right. 

Rumours were posted on Twitter that Galloway was aiming to be the Brexit candidate for the Peterborough by-election.  something that even another left wing group seemed to suggest when they posted this meme on their news page.

George Galloway so-called (and self appointed) saviour of the masses tweeted:

“Given the nature of Labour’s Euro-fanatic candidates list and the crucial juncture we have reached in the fight for the full implementation of the Brexit referendum result and for one-time only I will be supporting @Nigel_Farage in the next months elections. @TheBrexitParty”. (17 April 2019)

The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), a breakaway from Arthur Scargill's Socialist Labour Party (anyone remember that?) has gone the whole hog and is telling people to vote for Farage and his Brexit Party. 

Strange and sadly dangerous days indeed.
