In echoes of David Duke and the KKKs support of Trump, the British far right including Yaxley-Lennon, Hopkins, the DFLA, Jayda Frandsen and Britain First are all today celebrating Johnsons appalling language last night. They are united in support of him and his inflammatory rhetoric. What a sinister development that is.
Johnson is already ready for a fully populist election, fought with all the same vicious fear and loathing as the 2016 referendum. He will seek to turn the people against parliament, and from a starting point whole orders of magnitude more febrile than it has ever been before ,“The use of language yesterday and over the past few weeks such as the surrender bill, such as invoking the war, such as betrayal and treachery, it has clearly been tested, and workshopped and worked up and entirely designed to inflame hatred and division and this time he will have the nasty vicious fanatics of the far right stood alongside him cheering and hanging on his every word.
When democracy fails, the anti-democratic demagogues take control, that demagogue now has supporters who are reminiscent of the Brown Shirts.
