I don't tend to take much stock of what happens on Facebook; it's good for doomscrolling funny cat pictures and cartoons when you're watching something on the telly that's a bit of a slow burner, or waiting for the Mrs to finish the tea
Me being me though, I do tend to get a lot of political stuff popping up, and for the past two nights there's been a lot about Reform and their many defections
The comments on Facebook surprise me, because you don't tend to pick what pops up, you get people from all walks of life. Reading all the guff about Reform shows you just how many people are out there who still fully support the Labour party and the general mess they're making
And they all use the same terms when talking about Reform - Far Right
I've never seen anything about Reform that suggests they are Far Right, in the correct sense of the words, but Far Right no longer means Far Right, when uttered by left wing, hard of thinking morons, it just means slighty left of wherever they are on the spectrum, usually somewhere around Stalin and Marx
Far Right really only refers to normal folk who have jobs, families, cats, and are opposed to extortionate taxes, unchecked illegal immigration, crime and two tier policing, to name a few
The words have so lost their meaning that the left really need to come up with some other description for us
I have heard Ultra Far Right used on occasion, but it didn't really seem to take off. I could suggest maybe Extremely Far Right. Or Really Very Far Right. Or maybe Really Really Extremely Far Right Indeed
I mean, they do have form. They did it with Global Warming when that got tired. We've had Climate Change, Climate Emergencey, Climate Catastrophe, Global Heating, Global Boiling and It's A Dry Heat That Warms The Globe
If they want to keep insulting the decent folk by comparing us to the Nazis, I think they really need to step up their game
Actually Really Really Very Positively Unquestionably Far Right Indeed?
