   anyone who goes against the establishment.
That would be me, apparently according to the "establishment," I am one of the "sinister vexatious minority." (Which I may get printed on a T-shirt.)
I am neither right or left wing, frankly they are stupid outdated labels.

"Far-right" is a lazy slur in most cases.  Its power is the association with people like the Nazis.  The irony is that the EU was founded by Walter Hallstein, a WWII Nazi, and a living Nazi was applauded by the Canadian house of commons and Zelensky.  But, of course, the media don't call them far-right.  It's just protesters which they don't like, or anyone who goes against the establishment.
Those princes who have done great things have held good faith of little account, and have known how to craftily circumvent the intellect of men.  Niccolò Machiavelli.

Like Nigel Farage who you have called 'Far Right' on many occasions
Farage is merely a smarmy git. I am actually referring to various demonstrations/riots where all the people are labelled far right. (When frankly they very obviously are not ALL far right.)

Frankly I find it a puzzle and an insult that anyone who has opinions against the official line is labelled far right by politicians and the media.
