I was not going to get involved in this thread and I am certainly not going to get involved in politics which does not belong on this website. However:
Its an old adage that aften if something is ignored it goes away. Extremism of right or left has always been around in this country and has never got anywhere.
I remember years ago when the National Front held a march, if there was only 30 of them you could bet your gold plated Petzl Stop that hundreds would turn out to counter demonstrate thus gaining for the NF publicity that they would not otherwise have obtained.
Looking at it slightly differently, isn't there a web expression about "feeding trolls"
Something to think about.
