Would that make it hingeless or unhinged?

The only person who has accused you of being extreme right is your goodself. You're taking offence mate when none was intended.

From www.mackinaw.org
Quote:
The Overton Window is a model for understanding how ideas in society change over time and influence politics. The core concept is that politicians are limited in what policy ideas they can support — they generally only pursue policies that are widely accepted throughout society as legitimate policy options. These policies lie inside the Overton Window. Other policy ideas exist, but politicians risk losing popular support if they champion these ideas. These policies lie outside the Overton Window.

The article provides examples of left/right thinking on an exemplar policy and such thinking is excluded from the Overton Window.

Re: Britain outside the EU
It's similar (in a way) to 'thinking outside the box' . . someone comes up with an idea that is outside the recognised and accepted boundaries, everyone else laughs and considers you a nutcase
Sometimes it works, but it is generally safer to stay inside the box and 'fit in' with what the majority will accept and go along with.

Offence was intended. Hugh knows exactly what he did. Do not take me for a fool because Hugh certainly is no fool and his intent was obvious.

OK. The furthest to the right is labeled as Unthinkable. One step after the label Radical. We all know what radicalised means from the press and terrorism so Hugh saying I am the right hinge puts me past Radical thinking and past Unthinkable thinking so as I have said over and over his intent and insult is clear

Re: Britain outside the EU
Guess what is annoying residents of the northern coastline of France? Charities aiding migrants with food, clothing, shelter and basic medical needs. If they weren't there, the migrants would have a tougher time of it, and perhaps think twice.
Care4Calais is a UK-based and funded charity, with many UK nationals on the ground in France.
But things are going sour. "Choose Love" is pulling funding.

Re: Britain outside the EU
French authorities auction off smuggling boats almost identical to the dinghy that sank near Calais for £135
The French authorities auctioned off at least seven confiscated small boats on the very day 27 migrants drowned in the Channel.
The Mail on Sunday can reveal that the vessels, including one almost identical to the dinghy that sank near Calais, were sold online last Wednesday for as little as €160 (£135).
Critics questioned the morality of selling the longboats, which are of little use to fishermen or yachtsmen, and fear they will simply end up back in the hands of ruthless people-traffickers.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ing-boats.html
The online auction of 15 inflatable dinghies and 50 outboard engines recovered at sea by lifeboats, coastguards or the French Navy was approved by France’s Maritime Affairs department.

But they are happy for them to enter illegally as long they are wanting to go to the UK

Then why not criticise other countries for allowing them to leave their borders and enter France. I mean I know that would entail lessening the seemingly popular sport of France bashing but still

Just more proof showing the French lack of care on this matter

It has no relevance to us here as they come to us from France and the French actively help them along
