[image deleted]Paki Bashing Saturdays mean anything to ya? Course not.
National Front, the origins of...? Naah.
Extremist exclusionist anti-immigrant (Muslim, etc) modern political party movements began in the UK.
Neo Nazi Skinheads began in the UK.
It was a media/social/cultural backlash against these and general racist policies & attitudes within Britain as well as in its colonies that tempered the popularity of these far right politcal orgs & grassroots movements (plus Skins realizing the Nat Front was just using them, so they parted ways later in the 1980s) and kept them on the fringes. Hardcore institutionalized PCing created an enviroment where British became soft while Muslims became more assertive and increasingly radicalized.
And if you think the Tories are so cute, don't ask the poor, the disabled, and the usual assorted disenfranchised in the UK about their real life experience nowadays. Benefits and Personal Independence Payments have been drastically cut, and many forced out, THOUSANDS even committing suicide. NHS cuts have been severe too, and Tories want to privatize that as well as other programs. Council Estate Housing and other Gov't funded programs have been sold at cut rate prices to Tory cronies. You think what Trump is TRYING to do here is bad? Over there, THEY'RE DOING IT.
What is happening UK would make the most conservatives in the US whince.
Brexit was largely fueled by growing anti-immigrant sentiment.
