Not the paper, but the concept.
It occurs to me that one thing the right really don't like is being shown their own selves. They don't like being shown up as stupid (Brighton 'mosque' image), admitting they're wrong or out of control (Brexit) and really don't like being shown the consequences of their trains of thought. Hence any far right or extremist nutter being a pathetic sad case, and never representative of the people they claim to champion.
It's not just a British thing - I think we're seeing it in the USA with the kneeling protests and the reaction to them.
Thoughts?
