Ugly Moment Of Self-Loathing

In today's post I am going to try and explain the linkages between the rise of the far-right in Europe and the growth of a surveillance state in Britain. The invasion of public space by the private sector and private space by pther private forces is a disruption to the peaceful enjoyment of British life, ontologically, due I suspect, to an increasing pressure to open up markets on the demand side and expose humanity to a uncomfortable nakedness never felt before. Not all of us are born actors, not all of us are born politicians, and there is something of a lack of sensitivity and humility in modern Britain, largely due to a life of excess, rather than inwardness or nationalism. The far right cannot quite articulate themselves in simple terms, there are no real solid policy statements on which to articultate their frustration. What they are finding, is an increasing modernisation and exposure through information technologies in all areas of life is an increasing diversification of the population, and movement of populations. They are feeling uncomfortable and insecure, and Labour has encouraged this rapid change leading to an increase in competition in the jobs market. Life ain't so easy as it was in my day. Surveillance plays a big part in increasing the pressure in everyday living, and adds to the increasing sense that we are subject to state and market manipulation. The Far Right BNP are a response to the lunacy of post-modernity, in a desperate attempt to take control and dominate society by reversing these changes, rather than adapting to them. Life has become rather difficult, I admit but it is more tangible and sensible to take a reformist tact, from centrist-left perspectives on how the corporation can address these issues with government, without allowing the BNP through the back door.
I must state that this in an interpretation of the electorate's view of political change. The BNP themselves, and I am sure they will deny it, contain some nasties who use organised violence to target fascist favourites such as ethnic minorities and alternative sexual orientations. The success of the BNP puts Britain at the centre of organised neo-nazi politics, for possibly the first time in living memory.
