Matt, THEY ARE FASCISTS - THE BEHAVIOUR IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND BORDERING ON DICTATORSHIP WITH NO RESPECT FOR ANY POLITICAL OPPONENT WHATSOEVER!!!!! You may not wanna say that but that is what is clearly self-evident based on the toxic narrative and arrogance attached to said extreme antics and witnessed for a very long time - it is an absolute disgrace and an affront to proper progressive governance and regard for contrary and constructive political dialogue. The words "head buried in the sand" come to mind TBF!! But everyone to their own opinion all the same!!  

I think they are a bunch of clowns who are incompetent and couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery. I agree they have no respect for any political opponent but neither do any of the other parties. I watched a debate on Youtube between Tony Benn and Roy Jenkins from 1975 about the Common Market and even though they were both in the Labour Party and they disagreed with one another on the subject they argued their case and viewpoints without shouting each other down or talking over one another or calling each other names and it seemed to be rather grown up. You look at politics and debates in 2020 and from the last 4-5 years and it seems to be tribal on both sides with name calling, abuse, shouting each other down and the facts and information get lost and when that happens it becomes like a punch and judy show and the media love it and lap it up as it adds to the drama.

The far left and far right have a lot in common as they are both intolerant. The far left don't seem to grasp that people have different viewpoints or opinions to them and anyone who does then they call them right wing or Conservative when they might be centrist or centre left. The far left seem to be ashamed of their country and unpatriotic and want to cancel or get rid of things they don't agree with or like. They deem most things as racist or offensive. The far right are racist bigots who are nationalistic who harp on about the war all the time and want to go back to an age and time which never truly existed in the first place and will say racist things and then say it's 'free speech' to excuse what they've said. They both believe whoever shouts or screams the loudest wins.

The centrists use facts to win an argument but they come across emotionless and rather robotic.
