I’m an elderly lefty, living in South West England who’s looking for a nice place in the fediverse where I can share/ learn/ politely disagree etc with others & (occasionally) vent my frustrations & concerns about the parlous state of the world that my grandkids are growing up in! When I’m not “doom scrolling” I enjoy gardening, bird watching, bread baking & being the best granddad I can be.

“Who is Really Bankrolling Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain?”

“EXCLUSIVE: Byline Times investigates the figures behind the Elon Musk-backed far-right rival to Nigel Farage’s Reform UK”
[..]
“Little is known about Restore Britain’s funding. The far-right party, seen as a disrupter on Reform UK’s right flank, was only formally registered as a party in February, meaning further donations records will begin to appear in the coming months, should they cross the threshold for declaration.”

Weird and retrogressive.
We thought we'd left all this nonsense behind in the 20th century and that the Second World War had dealt with much of it.
It does go to show we can't take progress for granted and have to keep fighting for the progress we've won.

He's gone to Restore Britain presumably because Farage isn't far-right enough for him (hard to believe I know).
Who radicalised this kid and who the hell voted for him?

I wonder where these far-right parties get their ideas?
