Following the disgusting response by the far right to the horrendous event in Southport, when multiple children and adults were stabbed, leading to three children dying, this article will reveal that low educated people are being targeted by fascist groups and their political representatives. From local groups to Reform UK Ltd the focus is, and historically has been, on those who are much less capable of dealing with more accurate and complicated explanations for societal issues.
Let us remind ourselves first of the despicable behaviour that has occured because of false information, appealing to the hate mobs, following the murders in Southport.
Bet the residents of Southport are overjoyed at the support they’re getting from this lot whilst mourning.

Devastating disrespect to the victims of the terrible stabbings in Southport.

That violent far right thugs would riot in a town in mourning shows the depths to which those who would tear society apart will plunge.
Simply horrible. Reject the mob.pic.twitter.com/Oxu609UCmX
And in Southend in which six people, believed to be motivated by far right politics, have been arrested and weapons seized following violence on Southend seafront.
A section 60 dispersal order, which grants officers the authority to exercise stop and search powers, is in place after reports of violence around 7pm on Tuesday night. Footage on social media appeared to show at least four people in black brandishing machetes near the Adventure Island theme park.
Southend councillor Daniel Cowan tweeted: “I’m urging calm and encouraging people to avoid Jubilee Beach this evening as @EssexPoliceUK deal with a large influx of young people. It’s a developing situation that CCTV is monitoring and more police resources are en route to support the dispersal order that is in place.”
Essex Police stated that the order will remain in place until 8pm on Wednesday.
‘Zero-tolerance approach‘
Chief Superintendent Morgan Cronin said: “We have a zero-tolerance approach to violence, disorder and carrying weapons in Essex. We have a large number of officers in the city centre, who have already seized a number of weapons and made quick arrests following these incidents.
“Our officers are working closely with our local partners and businesses to ensure they are safe and supported. We want to make sure our communities are safe and we will use all the appropriate powers at our disposal to do so. Our officers have responded to these incidents reported by members of the public this evening, and the information they provided is invaluable.”
He added: “I would also like to thank the vast law-abiding majority of the public for their cooperation today. But we know there are other witnesses to these incidents who may have important details to share. We will have a visible presence in Southend this evening and tomorrow – if you know something, please speak to one of our officers or contact us to help.”
Whether it is Southport, Southend, the racist hate mob in Weymouth and Portland or anywhere else, it is important to understand how they are being radicalised by the devious and narcissistic.
Targeting the least educated
The far right has increasingly targeted individuals with lower levels of education as part of their recruitment strategy. This phenomenon is multifaceted, rooted in economic insecurity, cultural anxieties, and the manipulation of information. Understanding why and how these groups focus on the less educated helps to elucidate the broader societal implications and the potential for fostering a more inclusive and informed public discourse.
The UK, USA and other countries, where people are vulnerable to simplistic explanations, have seen a fall in the values applied to measure intelligence. This enables us to hypothesise that the far right right in particular are seeking to take advantage.
One of the primary reasons that less educated individuals are targeted by the far right is economic insecurity. Those with lower levels of education often face limited job opportunities, lower wages, and precarious employment conditions. This economic instability can foster a sense of disenfranchisement and resentment, which far-right groups exploit by offering simplistic solutions and scapegoating minorities or immigrants as the source of economic woes. The promise of restoring economic stability and national pride becomes an appealing narrative for those who feel left behind by globalisation and technological advancements.
Cultural and social changes also play a significant role in the recruitment strategies of far-right groups. Less educated individuals may feel more threatened by rapid changes in societal norms and values, such as increasing multiculturalism and the erosion of traditional cultural identities. Far-right movements often propagate a vision of a homogeneous society, appealing to those who perceive these changes as a loss of identity and cultural heritage. By capitalising on these cultural anxieties, the far right positions itself as the defender of traditional values, thereby attracting those who fear cultural displacement.
The manipulation of information and the spread of misinformation are critical tools used by far-right groups to target less educated individuals. Those with lower levels of education may have less access to critical thinking skills and media literacy, making them more susceptible to propaganda and fake news. Far-right movements utilise social media platforms and echo chambers to disseminate biased information, conspiracy theories, and xenophobic rhetoric. By controlling the narrative and fostering a sense of community among their followers, these groups can effectively radicalise individuals who may lack the resources to critically evaluate the information they consume.
The emotional appeal of far-right rhetoric cannot be understated. These groups often employ emotive language and imagery to evoke feelings of anger, fear, and frustration. For individuals struggling with economic and social pressures, the far-right’s clear and emotionally charged messages provide a sense of clarity and direction. The promise of belonging to a unified and powerful group can be particularly enticing for those who feel isolated or marginalised. This emotional connection reinforces loyalty and commitment to far-right ideologies, making it challenging to counteract their influence through rational argument alone.
In conclusion, the targeting of less educated individuals by far-right groups is a complex issue driven by economic, cultural, and informational factors. Addressing this challenge requires a multifaceted approach, including improving access to education, promoting media literacy, and fostering inclusive economic policies that address the root causes of disenfranchisement. By understanding the dynamics at play, society can work towards mitigating the influence of the far right and promoting a more informed and cohesive public discourse. How possible this is with a largely unregulated social media spewing out misinformation and lies to those without the skill set to comprehend what they are receiving is the obvious question. Can we expect those who want to believe the hate filled lies to suddenly see the light? Very unlikely!
