I could also have said that a powerful weapon in our armoury would be to stop the disaffected being the disaffected. Inequalities in society, the rich getting richer and the poor getting food banks, are a recipe for encouraging people to resort to the fringe far-right groups, who will promise the earth (including, among other things, getting rid of foreigners and other members of The Other). We've just had a tax giveaway in the UK that overwhelmingly benefits the already-rich and which gives the poor next to nothing - right in the middle of the worst cost-of-living crisis we've had for decades. Millions of people are facing astronomical energy bills and inflation is rampant (you don't need "official figures": you need a walk down your nearest supermarket aisles...). There's little control over landlordism and you're bloody lucky if you've got any job security at all. All grist to the mill of the far-right jam-tomorrow brigade...
