Ignoring for the moment this article is about a UK politician wanting to make changes to UK law - you might want to look at THE FBI lists. They haven't featured left wing groups since the 70s. They still regularly feature extreme right wing groups.

Most "lone wolf" mass shooters are on the far right; we've seen far right activists shooting into crowds of demonstrators, or driving vehicles into crowds of demonstrators.

For all the talk of "punching Nazis" it's not the left wing who are perpetrating violence in the US.

The former deadliest shooter, Omar Mateen was a registered Democrat.

Is BLM a right-wing group? What's more astonishing here is that the media is A-OK with left-wing violence. They try to portray them as some kind of freedom fighters.
