I hope you are right but such right wing extremism is extremely popular in the US for a reason and I really fear their emergence in the UK. We have GB News and the rest of the right wing press who will urge everyone in that direction. I’m not so sure that in the medium to long term this will not be a huge issue.
Notice the new Tory line, "We had to enact Brexit, it was the will of the people, we are a democratic party."
This is interesting, it's the beginnings of the get out clause in the next Parliament, as things continue to unravel under Labour trying to make Brexit work the Tories will slowly become the more pro EU party who had to do Brexit because that was, at the time, the Will of the people.
Never, ever underestimate the Conservative Party........
I don’t, but I don’t think that even they could pull that one off. They are far too closely entwined with Brexit, as are their supporters in the press. It’s all about English Nationalism. Could you really see the Mail, Sun and Express supporting rejoin?
It is at present about English Nationalism but this I think will change. One man has done more damage to this Country than any other this Century, now in his 90s he won't be around much longer, when Murdoch goes so will a lot of the shit that goes with him will die off.
As for the Mail.........they were cheerleaders for the EEC accession and Tony Blair in 1997.......as was The Sun. I doubt the Express will be around.

It was the Sun that supported Blair in 97 - the Express, Mail and Telegraph still supported the Tories.
