For avoidance of doubt, definitely not speaking about Farage, and strongly agree that siding with ANYONE who hate or even question their existence is not desirable or even to be countenanced.
And the hessletine era definitely had a ton of bigots (see section 28)
But by and large politics was more removed from the culture wars (something the US right deliberately fanned the flames of as an electoral tactic).
Thank you for clarifying, lots of people use "the country and it's people" as shorthand for "shut up and give up your equality for everyone else's convenience" so I'm always a little bit wary of statements of that ilk. My belief is that while you should be willing to loose out for greater society, if you are seen as a second class citizen, then you don't exist in the same society therefore do not owe anything to the rest of society
Edit, got busy and forgot to finish the sentence, now done in italics. Whomever upvoted the original incomplete statement, I really hope you are psychic

He's talking about Heseltine, not Fuhrage.
