I would like to explain to our American friends that UK hard left, although a majority on this forum, is actually a minority in the country as a whole and a small minority at that. Their views tend to expressions of unpleasantness in different ways and this, in my opinion, reflects the fact that they know it's 'all been over' for quite a long time and they are unable to come to terms with this reality.

A group called 'Momentum' has managed to gain control of the Labour Party and moved it's agenda to the far left. They view the policies that allowed Tony Blair to win elections as betrayal of Socialist values and the MPs who supported them as traitors. This has split the party and more than a few of the old Mps have left.

Brexit has also split the Tory Party. The result of this election, only a couple of hours to go, will show which party has won the battle of the splits.
