apparently their deputy leader thinks so.

[Peter Pedant]

well it has to be true free-tee
because you said so
and I am sure they thank you for telling them

[cassa333]

The left think everyone right of them are fascists.

The trouble is they don’t see any point as valid that does not align with their dogma.

They are out of touch but simply believe that all they need to do is insult the opposition with a historically evil name or shout very loudly to drown out opponents.

Their way is perhaps more fascist than anyone.

Poor old TTT. He has variously claimed to be a cosmologist, and a member of MENSA, but he can't tell the difference between "people who voted for Brexit" and "supporters of Nigel Farage's Brexit Party".

[ToraToraTora]

oh please enlighten me oh wise one!

[ichkeria]

I’m confused: this seems to be about Tom Watson calling Farage a fascist and last time I checked Farage wasn’t a labour man.
All this name calling and labelling by whoever of whoever is very silly and diverts from the actual issues.

[ToraToraTora]

ich, must I spell it out me old china? ok, farage supports brexit, yes? he's labelled a fascist, yes? There are many Labour supporters who are also supporters of brexit, geddit? of course you do, you are just pretending not to.

[ichkeria]

I did need help with that!
So your point is that if Farage is a “ fascist” so are all supporters of Brexit?
Hmm.
This sort of nonsense just emphasises my earlier point.

[ToraToraTora]

well assuming Farage is a "fascist" because he supports brexit then it follows that all brexiteers must be fascists even those in the Labour party. If not what did Tom Watson mean?

[ichkeria]

I assume he meant that Farage’s views generally mark out as a fascist, not the mere fact that he’s a Brexiter. After all a typical
Communist doesn’t like the EU either.
For what it’s worth, I like Tom Watson a lot but I don’t agree that Farage is a “fascist”

[spathiphyllum]

If he was slammed or not, he aint wrong. They are fascists.

[Old_Geezer]

Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, according to Wikipedia. So... it doesn't cover normal sane nationalism where one decides for oneself how one's country should act, rather than be dictated to by a foreign empire run by unelected and unaccountable elites.

[ToraToraTora]

well I prefer Watson to agent Cob but he's still a raving lefty.
