French Far Right is on the March

On Sunday 19th June, news was breaking that President Emmanuel Macron was about to lose his majority in the French National Assembly. Readers may well be aware that during the Presidential elections, Marine Le Pen and her far-right National Rally party secured a huge vote from the electorate. The writing has been on the wall in France for more than a decade, that the grassroots are now fed up with the appeasement politics that has been the cornerstone of so many recent French governments.

Therefore, it was of no surprise to me that on Sunday the far-right parties (known as the National Rally Party) turned their 8 seats into 89 seats. Yes, you read that correctly. The far right in France managed to secure 89 seats by popular vote from the public. When we say the far-right, we are talking about a party that is the equivalent of our British National Party (BNP). In the UK we destroyed that type of far-right madness decades ago and today they barely secure even 0.1% of the British vote.

In February of this year, I wrote a piece titled, ‘The Far Right and Europe’. If you have not read that yet, I suggest you do so to understand that France is not the only European nation where we see the uprising of the far-right. By my analysis, there are some 10 European nations that have a serious problem with their far-right, thankfully the UK is not one of them. So next time someone undermines the UK, you tell them to move to Europe if they find this nation uncomfortable. It won’t take them long to appreciate what they have here once they experience the overt racism that is rampant in Europe.

France today is in a predicament. Macron has lost his majority and in order to govern, he either has to bow to the left or to the right. His history is that of playing politics with both sides, but that was of course from a position of strength. The game has changed, now the boot is on the other foot. If he panders to the left, then there is a danger that the French public will move even further to the right and straight into the hands of Le Pen. If he panders to the right, then he will have to bring in some very draconian laws to curb the influx and influence of Muslims and Islam. It is now very possible that he may well end up creating a climate of discord at the grassroots resulting in riots on the streets of every major French town and city.

There is no doubt in my mind that the far-right in France (and other EU nations) have a serious problem with Islamists. The open-door policies of France and Germany, often forcing nations like Greece and Italy to tow the line, have opened huge chasm within the very fabric of their societies.

With events in Ukraine now out of control, and the failure of sanctions and the ever-deepening food and energy crisis, it will take very little to light this touch paper. Europe has normalised the far-right, the last time they did that, the world suffered.

It is therefore important for the UK to ditch the far-left project called the EHRC. We are more than capable of writing our own Bill of Rights that will always put Britain first. It’s time to support Priti Patel to put in place the necessary legislation. The nation will thank her one day for having the spine to stand up to bullies from the left, the PC brigade, the fake BLM enterprise, the ER hooligans and all the others who love to jump on any bandwagon of convenience to undermine the nation with their anarchy.
