You know, most of us can tell whether certain people have integrity or seem like the type of folks we'd like to know, and in daily life we listen to this inner voice of our instinct when dealing with people; it's why we are wary of some people and why they make us feel uncomfortable in their presence. UKIP, the senior tories and the Trump cohort fit s category. They do not seem like nice folk at all.

Farage is a case in point. He stood in front of a poster that was virtually identical to a shot from one of Joseph Goebbels anti-Semitic propaganda films, and no person with an ounce of common decency would do this, but Farage didn't care and did it anyway (it's doubtful the significance of this image was lost on him, he's blessed with more cunning than his blokey persona conveys). This lack of concern for basic moral values is consistent with other senior kippers and tories. Folk like Neil Hamilton, Paul Nuttall and Douglas Carswell all claim to be kippers but in fact occupy their own individual political spheres, and not one of them comes across as trustworty or even pleasant. Boris is a habitual liar and opportunist, IDS and Liam Fox see Brexit as an opportunity to make a mark in political careers most people had consigned to history.

We get a gut feeling about people and in the case of the modern alt-right that feeling is overwhelming; these are not pleasant folk and are not to be trusted in the long run. Farage, Trump and many of the current slew of senior right wingers provoke these feelings amongst people and the supporters of these folk need to understand this: we don't trust them, don't like their moral and ethical ambiguity and are not the sort of folk we would sit down for a pint with in the pub.

They're not nice folk, and we don't want them representing us. Why should we line up behind them? They are for themselves, not for decent, honest people.
