Much is said regarding any Far-Right opinion, and yes they are mainly skin headed yobbos who attend their demonstrations, which all seems very frightening, but are they the real frighteners?

But why this was deemed necessary to be placed in the Female section of the Daily Mail is anyone's guess.

It must be the Far-Right, notice the police presence in the first picture and the lack of it in the second picture.
Far left or far right, both sections can prove much of a muchness, especially if those who form the mass who are following, are the easily convinced, and the type who are most likely to resort to violent behaviour. I'm unsure why one wants to ask this lot OR that lot. By their actions shall they be judged by the rest of us.
I think what Old_Geezer says makes a lot of sense.

Except I would describe both these groups as 'far right'. They are both intolerant of anyone who disagrees with their own particular wworld view, and both are adept ar using violence to further their own agenda.

Or is that agendas?

No...'agenda' is plural.

Anyway, who to fear most?

Not sure what value there is in ranking relative levels of fear. Let's just say I would not feel comfortable with extremists of any hue moving in next door to me.

Good sound answer, if a little 'sitting on the fence'.

But in the face of past and recent Islamic terrorists attacks who but the far-right are showing real concerns on behalf of the British people?

How else can the British people protest without being labelled 'Far-Right' 'Racist' or Fascist'?
There is a Channel 4 documentary later this week behind the scenes of a far right fighter for a year.

It is in the FeMail section because it is not real news, it is just comment on a tv programme.

The British have a very low tolerance for extremists of any kind, whether they are football hooligans, muslim extremists, or Socialist Workers.

Not sure there is any point in trying to grade them. They are all as bad as each other.
AOG,
Not sure hurling abuse at a mosque is showing real concern. Or is at all productive. The policy of the Government is not going to change because a group of drunken tattooed football hooligans shout very loud.

The success of UKIP is due to them convincing enough people that they are not extremists or louts.

If there is any change in the future it will come from a UKIP breakthrough rather than a BNP one.

Asking me to choose which I fear most is a little like asking which mound of dog poo I'd like to step in whilst out jogging.

To me, the BNP/EDL/Britain First offer an immediate and overt threat (remember Nick Griffin publishing the home address of that gay couple and encouraging his Twitter followers to go round and 'give them a bit of drama?)

Islamic extremists offer up a long term covert threat.

The BNP/EDL/Britain First movements may not be racist in intent, but they attract racists and people vehemently hate gay people - more so, than the Green Party or Women's Institute.
Why do we have to fear someone more than someone else, indeed must we be cajoled / brainwashed into fearing someone?
Can't we just either fear them equally, or just (as I do) educate ourselves as to the potential dangers and then make an informed decision and not fear them at all?

That should prove a totally unbiased documentary.

/// It is in the FeMail section because it is not real news, it is just comment on a tv programme. ///

It has now been elevated to news.

/// The British have a very low tolerance for extremists of any kind, whether they are football hooligans, muslim extremists, or Socialist Workers. ///

/// Not sure there is any point in trying to grade them. They are all as bad as each other. ///

How can they all be as bad as each other? Football hooligans are not murderous terrorists, neither are Socialist Workers.

Sounds like a nice piece of electioneering on behalf of the UKIP party, thanks for that Gromit.
Just had to reread above comments, thought we had to fear SOCIAL WORKERS.

Given a choice I'd rather step into a mound of dog poo than an IED.

/// To me, the BNP/EDL/Britain First offer an immediate and overt threat (remember Nick Griffin publishing the home address of that gay couple and encouraging his Twitter followers to go round and 'give them a bit of

You can't blame the EDL or even Britain First for what Nick Griffin told his Twitter followers.

/// The BNP/EDL/Britain First movements may not be racist in intent, ///

Well I don't know about the BMP, aren't they extremely racist, that is if they still exist?

/// but they attract racists and people vehemently hate gay people - more so, than the Green Party or Women's Institute. ///

Not all people vehemently hate gay people, and perhaps there are some in the Green Party or Women's Institute who do hate gays, who can tell?

But if you want the worse of two worlds Muslim Extremists are killers and they also hate gays, so don't you think this might be the answer to my original question, "WHO SHOULD BE THE MOST FEARED"?
