Michael Sheen will quit acting to become a full-time activist.

Michael Sheen is so disturbed by the rise of far-right populism he is quitting acting to become an activist, and says he does not know if his relationship with Sarah Silverman will survive.

He told The Times: “In the same way as the Nazis had to be stopped in Germany in the Thirties, this thing that is on the rise has to be stopped."

His steel-making hometown, population 37,000, voted for Brexit.

His fears were exacerbated by the ascension of Donald Trump and the tensions stoked by his divisive rhetoric.

What kind of world has this dipshit been living in the past 8 years as we've moved the closest to Marxism in recent memory?

Those undemocratic and soulless EU bureaucrats are closer to fascists than UKIP or any other classical liberal Eurosceptic political party.

Good luck with your sanctimonious crusade that will surely be effective by being holier-than-thou to the simpletons, it's worked swimmingly so far.

The people that ran amok "in Germany in the Thirties" were a lot more similar in philosophy to Michael Sheen than Donald Trump.

Nationalism is not inherently bad.

People don't seem to grasp that.

Correct, which is the beauty of it. They're marching to toward fascism and believe they're actually fighting it. Progressivism does a great job at brainwashing and propaganda.

It is the Democrats who are nationalizing the local police departments.

It does not get much more right wing than that.
