A former scholar of the far right will stand as a far-right candidate in the U.K.
Anyone who knows Matt, or has followed his career, will not be surprised by this. It is, nevertheless, a good reminder that the tides have turned and the grift is moving (far) right these days, also within academia.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

even Davos is not what it used to be... where is multicultural capitalism? multilateral cooperation? responsibility towards the markets rather than to voters and citizens.
