Letters: Red Alert over rampant nationalism

letter1

Dear Editor

In living memory we saw before and during World War II how bad rampant nationalism can be.

Today the rise of nationalism is leading to more advocacy by the right wing of an ‘anti-everyone not a national from their country’, it is a form of racism and a tactic to divide people, instead of tackling the real problems working people face.

This is being seen in places like America, France, Germany and many other countries including the UK: this was particularly evident during the referendum, the result of which is already showing its affects on the economy and helping those using divisive talk and actions.

The danger signal is at red, we must not go down this road again: it solves nothing, and poses great danger.
