"The far right is on the rise across Europe
as a new generation of young, web-based supporters embrace hardline
nationalist and anti-immigrant groups, a study has revealed ahead of a
meeting of politicians and academics in Brussels to examine the
phenomenon."

What is particularly depressing/annoying is the rise of the right among the young, and not simply for economic reasons. One would have hoped the young to be more idealistic, but unfortunately this means can follow malign ideologies as well.
I know for example the far right FPO in Austria gets over 30% of the youth vote, but just ~10% of the full vote. What is especially despicable is this would be a generation who has had it so much better than any other. Ignorance in bliss....
