Phenomenon being more than the inevitable outcome of the right is a collapse in confidence in the ruling class and when there's a collapse in confidence in the ruling class, people are going to turn to the extreme ; and in some cases that can be an opportunity, which is why you see far more left wing candidates than ever before being successful. Why someone like Jeremy Corbyn can stand up and say the same stuff that he's been saying for decades and suddenly find an audience of really energised people, especially young people who are worried about their future. But it can also drive people into the arms of right-wing extremists as well, who are running not as guardians of conventional conservative dogma, but is people who are railing against elites generally, and they're going to find that audience with people who, for good reason, hate all elites, and that's what I think is most concerning.

Printed "presence", the speaker says "confidence"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "a collapse in confidence". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so listen to the start of the word.

Printed "extent", the speaker says "extreme"

Explanation: Listen again to "turn to the extreme". Both words start with e, so wait for the whole word to hear the difference.

Printed "liking", the speaker says "stuff"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "say the same stuff". The printed and spoken words start with different letters, so focus on the word start.

Printed "construction", the speaker says "conservative"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "conventional conservative dogma". Both words start with c, so listen to the whole word to catch the difference.

Printed "condemned", the speaker says "concerning"

Explanation: The speaker says "I think is most concerning", not "condemned". The first letter is the same, so listen to the middle and end of the word.

"ruling" matches the audio

Explanation: "in the ruling class" shows the word ruling next to the changed word. It may look tricky, but the speaker says ruling exactly, so do not click it.

"Jeremy" matches the audio

Explanation: "someone like Jeremy Corbyn" has a familiar name that can seem odd on the page. The speaker says Jeremy exactly, so do not click it.
