Following abortion decriminalisation, analysis from openDemocracy and the Fuller Project reveals the UK far right is pushing anti-abortion talking points into mainstream political debate.
That’s just a (concerningly large) percentage of the nutjobs
There are other kinds too that focus their rage at other marginalised groups
Then you get the conspiracy groups, of anti vaccination people (we have official stats showing there were a couple of percent of hard-line nevers during COVID), the ones that burn down radio masts because of bill gates 5g microchips, those lizard-people guys etc.
Perhaps irredeemable is harsh on a few of these, but most don’t get to that point because something or someone pulls them out. For whatever reason it doesn’t happen to a percentage of people.
It all adds up to a group of people who provide a lot of noise at the bottom end of polling.
20% is a pretty charitable estimate if you’ve been paying attention to the news for the past decade
I don’t think 20% of people are racists or nazis

A couple of a percent isn’t 20%
And do you think everything I didn’t attach a percentage to is zero?
Do you think antivaxxers are the largest demographic in the ones I listed? I don’t think they’re even in the top three.
Usually there’s a pretty significant overlap when it comes to nutjobs
