How the far right got its name

Tens of thousands of anti-immigration protesters are expected to march through London's streets under the banner "Unite the Kingdom". The march will be led by Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, also known as Tommy Robinson, an anti-Islam activist who frames himself as a defender of free speech and a patriot. Academics studying far-right movements argue that the term "far right" is not a precise classification, its meaning shifting depending on who uses it, and that applying it loosely can sanitise the far right.
