Yes, In Britain all to easy to pretend it's all fine (thanks to illusion created by FPTP). Also, remainers like to glamourize the EU as a safe haven despite the far right ascending everywhere often with even more extreme anti-migrant rhetoric than in the states. It's global.

Wasn't a particular fan, but was highly enjoyable watching him run rings around most & a time when the rise of indy saw various features embedded in the British state - war mongering, nuclear power & weapons, elitism etc - for once not seen as inevitable.
