No, Carswell and others like him haven’t been ‘radicalised’. They’ve always thought like this. The only thing that has changed is that they now realise they can get away with saying it out loud.

In the case of Carswell I just don't believe that.

Completely agree. After the WWII there was a stigma in voting for Far-Right parties but that’s gone now. The Centre-Right has collapsed into the Far-Right. Carswell supports the Far-Right because his values and priorities line up with theirs, and those values r firmly Right-wing authoritarian.

This on a massive scale, it used to be the back room of a gentlemen’s club or a social club. Now it’s mainstream, racism is just accepted these days, not sure how we row back on it, the worst people are going to get in power.

Guess what... "In January 2021 Carswell was appointed as president and CEO of the Mississippi Center for Public Policy, and left the UK. He now lives in Jackson, Mississippi."

I think he currently lives in Mississippi, which is probably part of it.

However, I’d argue they are radicalising others by getting away with it.

When the leaders of our country (and right wing parties) demonise people of colour, it emboldens those who have always been racist amongst their ilk to become confident to display their racism publicly. I can't help but think they are looking across the pond and like what they see.
