Emeritus Prof Christopher May

Amy Booker (Women's Budget Group) is right; to counter the appeal of the Far Right we (the country) needs to invest in care & welfare... bu building a fairer economy that everyone feels they have a stake in, the appeal of the Far Right is undermined.

However, this is a message to which the current Labour party leader(s) seem to be either wilfully deaf to, or positively reject.

Time for a change of strategy!

The choice: an inclusive or divided society? With geopolitics shifting rapidly, and as the UK is still grappling with the cumulative impact of Covid-19, Brexit, austerity, and the cost-of-living crisis, the UK government must choose whether it will invest in a green and caring economy that can be an antidote to far-right extremism – or keep going with funding cuts that risk stoking further inequality, and division. Investment in social infrastructure, such as childcare, social care, and healthcare, is crucial not only for building a fairer economy but for addressing the inequality that far-right movements thrive on. The decisions made today will shape our economy, our society, and the future of gender equality. The path we take matters, and we must choose the one that leads to greater equality, inclusion, and economic justice for everyone.

@ChrisMayLA6 would you say professor that the people have to want to be included and be supportive of inclusive? Are we ignoring the fact it’s not just economic misery that leads people to extremism but their own biases?

@wjordan

Of course, people have diverse & varied views & some may well feel like that; the key to a system of inclusion is sufficient tolerance to allow them to 'enjoy' that feeling without that feeling corroding the tolerant & inclusive overall society - I accept never an easy trick to pull off completely
