idk who they are

Pretty much all of these people are alt-lite and thus ''far right'' to most people on here but really they are all very tame and have a lot of the same opinions as most people on the left. You will need a new category for people who are actually far right. As you haven't put: Morgoth, Richard Spencer, Mike Enoch, Eric Striker, Woes, Borzoi, Jared Taylor etc. You need to do a bit more diving to find people who are actually far right.

Minorities rights, freedom of speech, support for public services, support for ''high skilled'' immigration in some form or another, free trade, globalization etc.

These aren't particularly left-wing beliefs, they're just fairly banal mainstream consensus ones. And hard-lefties certainly don't believe in "free trade", at least not the way it's conventionally used. Also plenty on that list don't so much believe in free speech as "freeze peach".

What does that mean?

I can name Boris Johnson

'iako Daimao ekstraordynaryny czyłowiek'.

Does that mean anything?

Or I can say that his political orientation is 'Gokedy, gokedy, gokedy dal'. Does that signify anything?

Pfft, unenlightened normie..... Take it from somebody who's actually far-right (or third position as I prefer to define myself). None of these people are far-right. They are populist conservatives at most and they're all generally pretty un-interesting.

Many people prefer to describe britain first as something else- that does not involve the word "right".
Hate criminals, horrifying racist thugs, crucifix burning lunatics, evil scumbags or habitual criminals desperate for attention.

Unfortunately, far-right is the most common term, which leads to all of the right being tarred with the same brush.
