You are so right and also explain things very eloquently so thank you. Your passion and concern shine through in your words. Those of us who have been thinking and then saying this for many years might feel a little bit of validation now. But what good is that. Yes, the overton window has shifted but yesterday my daughter told me not to say anything because I will get stabbed.

This is what we have left our children with. We need to stand on the streets together so that it is not the few who get labelled as far right.

And I think that we need to reframe the language. If racist and far right mean that I care about my country and fairness and justice and kindness then that is what I am. If racist and far right simply mean worrying about safety and the erosion of the wonderful values and culture of the UK, then I am both and would be proud to say so.
