However, it occurred to me that the tragic and horrific death of MP Jo Cox last week, was in fact a result of British Right Wing Extremism. Although no officially affiliated to the Right Wing group Britain First (due to his comments), it was clear that Thomas Mair, the man being charged for her murder is a victim of Right Wing Extremism; one area that the Media, and perhaps the government and police, overlook.
It struck me that the hegemonic view of the Media only shows Right Wing ideologies, Extremism or Fascism coming from people who aren't white and British; this in turn shows the two-step flow, with Media Institutions acting as opinion leaders and passive audiences taking on board their narrow minded messages and values.
There's certainly a growth of white Right Wing ideologies with the growth in popularity of parties such as Britain First, the EDL, and perhaps not quite on the same extremist scale, UKIP.
It will certainly be interesting to see the outcome of the Referendum at the end of the month..... as well as the outcome of the Presidential elections in November as these are ideologies that Trump is embodying also....!
