They see things differently, but GB is rather fractured at the moment, and I accept that many parts of the spectrum are well-represented, and each makes plenty of noise on their own. The lack of a language barrier between there and the USA helps, of course.
As far as Corbyn goes, we'll have to agree to disagree there. I found him to be quite disagreeable, and his policies were, as far as I could tell, very much based on grievances. I find Farage to be far more dangerous (having no morals at all helps), and I think he is enjoying as much secret support from outside now as he was during Brexit, which I thought was brazenly Putin-led. Brexit has turned out to be a complete fiasco, and I am convinced that if one were to have asked the people of GB at the time (2016) if they thought it wise to leave the EU, a majority would have said no way. They were so self-confident that enough of the stayed home to let the disaster happen--something that I wish Democrats would observe and learn from. As was evident in 2016 and 2024, that message has not gotten through to the ones that needed to hear it most.
As one who lives in the middle of an area that is seeing several middle-Eastern conflicts being fought out by proxy in our midst, my trust in any faction that claims non-violence is right at zero. Any of them that can get away with violence against their opponents on European soil without getting caught would gladly do so in a heartbeat.
