Hey Nigel, while PMC moral superiority is distinctly unhelpful there are other things to consider, in my view. Firstly, there is no reason to consider 'ordinary people' to be white. Secondly, the victims of neoliberal globalisation are both the white working class and the people of colour who have moved in - there is space for solidarity that is being actively undermined. Thirdly, decolonisation of the British Empire is not only a consequence of the PMC but of rising American imperialism, but it intersected with a post-industrial crisis of masculinity to make whiteness (and masc) seem under attack [and really, we don't want British imperialism back, right?) and Fourthly, if that crowd is punching back on the PMC why are they attacking other poor people, but of colour? There is no justification for fascism - and people beyond the PMC know this too.
As a resident - dare I say it - indigenous woman - I agree. Thank you for minding. But I fear it is all even darker and more intentional than this suggests. And you are wrong about Communism. TwoTierKeir and his mates and forebears, really do want - and have always wanted, since the 1880s, and the invention of the word "secularism" as a deliberate ruse to disguise the ideology's atheism - to destroy Christian Europe. Mass immigration, particularly of Muslims (and I have quoted in my work some Muslims admitting their own synchronous agenda) is a particularly good way of achieving it. It is perverse, evil and otherwise inexplicable.

So - genuine question - what’s the solution?
Probably needs more than this comment section but (1) real solidarity btwn workers of all levels, genders and races and (2) system change.
Well, we’re on a unity ticket there!
Some excellent food for thought here, one can only hope that relevant decision makers are listening.
