Engaging wee precis there, Simon - I'll look forward to more. We always saw this swing to far right happening as a backlash to far left wokery, which has morphed into something that seems out of control, eh? Someone made a comment to me recently that she'd heard a good description of democracy, which I also think is good - democracy is a balancing act between freedom and order. It seems that people may be getting desperate to have more order back into public life, and are willing to take a risk on the far right to get that.
Thanks Simon. Interesting stuff. I knew the bones of what was happening in France but the character profiles helps.
