I’m recording the channel 4 documentary tonight. I’m a supporter of Hope Not Hate as well as enjoying the Mill. I also think Harry is very brave. I hope he is recovering from what must have been a frightening ordeal at times

Great article, Harry is a very brave man. With this article, he needs to stay undercover !!

But for balance, let’s have an article on the far left, who in their own way are just as bad as the far right thugs.

The far right are violent rioters who attack refugees, want to make sure anyone who isn't a straight white cis man is given no rights, and are actively contributing to increasing risk of total war. The far left are trying to stop all of that and make sure everyone has the same rights, and also make sure working people have enough money to live by making the rich pay their taxes properly as well as stopping climate change so that we all can have a nice future.

What kind of equivalence are you trying to pull?

If my child grows up to be 'Far left', wanting equality and justice for all I'll be proud. If they grow up to be Far Right, I'll be devastated.

They’re really really not David! I have zero desire to become part of a Soviet style communist society but the far right are a huge threat now, and not at some theoretical time in the future or historically in the 20th century.

They’d already killed a serving MP and made several terrorist attacks in the UK before the 2024 riots happened. Their ideas have infiltrated the mainstream, certainly in Reform, on the fringes of the Conservatives and every day in the Daily Mail.

I suspect a far left undercover op would find a lot of talking about when the revolution comes and not a lot else…

David - trying to 'both sides' this is disengenous - but i suspect you alrready knew that.

That was my experience of the hard left when I was briefly involved.... long very boring diatribes about obscure elements of Marxism and lots of demos. Tended to be terrible on sexism and green stuff but very good on worker and migrant rights.
