woolley Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 No. That's the sound of everyday, ordinary people who are finally rousing themselves having grown tired of being told what they can say and think and how they should live for over fifty years by the elite in society.

rmanx Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 If you can't see similarities between the rise of the Nazi party in 20s-30s German and the rise of the far right in the UK/Europe today, you're either blind or part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who actually are these elites who are nefariously telling ordinary people what they can say and think? Do you imagine that they have some secret agenda or perhaps that they are all somehow working in concert with each other? What do you imagine they hope to gain?
