re: #355 Charles

I hate to harp on about this, but I think I know what you mean by describing groups as “far right” or “right wing extremists”. What the BBC and others would like people to think when those terms are used is “unpleasant racists who are just very slightly more right wing than the Tory party”.

The BNP is a mostly blue collar party with mostly statist, left wing policies who would also no doubt like to lynch black people if they could get away with it. Can’t we call them “traditionalist Democrats” !

The term “far right” may be uncontroversial, because it’s now in common usage to describe a wide range of nutjobs, some of whom may indeed qualify as “right wing” in some way, but a lot of them don’t.
When the MSM is full of references to “progressive terrorists” or “left wing Islamists” I’ll stop whingeing about conservatives getting stuck on the same “wing” as the BNP.
