This statement claims to come "from the left, the right, and centre", but the UK-based signatories that I recognise are predominantly from the ethno-nationalist, reactionary, or cultural conservative right.
Yes, John Cleese was a Lib Dem a few decades ago, but the kindest thing you could say about his politics today is that they're those of increasingly grumpy old man.
And Claire Fox and Brendan O'Neill have roots in the Revolutionary Communist Party, so their far-right lunacy might actually be part of some deep-cover accelerationist strategy. But that's not actually any better, is it?
Is it the same for the signatories from other countries? Are there actually any significant left-wing or centrist figures?

Or is this just disingenuous cant?
