No. Society is not leaning towards the far-right. The strongest voices against this are the large centre-right. https://twitter.com/5_subject/status/803311691652014080 …
They liken it to 'Yes, some racist critics of Islam exist but this does not mean there is not legitimate criticism'

I disagree with them very strongly & think they have fucked up the future but its wrong to consider them racist.
-
again not all but even though I don't agree with the democracy of the EU I could never stand with UKIP et al
-
I hope I wouldn't avoid voting same way as them if they happened to be right on an issue. They're not this time tho.
-
I would struggle to think of where they would be vocal and I would agree on the same issue. But I take your point
-
eg A racist can be right abt Islam. I wldn't rush 2 defend Islam so as not to keep company w them but I wld denounce other stuff
-
would they be right about islam because the Muslims are generally not white or because of the faults of Islam?
-
They'd have to be right abt the threat Islam poses to human rights for me to agree with them.
-
Then I would do so saying something like 'On this rare occasion, I agree with Ukip.'Its important to maintain integrity this way

@5_subjectI am still just disappointed when I hear the reasons for leaving.Immigration was the main reason whether racist or not
-
Main reason seems to have been the big theme of sovereignty but mass immigration is also a valid concern.
-
but it was how it was articulated. Very disappointing the direction and the legitimacy it is given
-
Do you think so? I got frustrated with so much about 'sovereignty' without much concern about what this meant in practice.
