More on Brexit - and Right wing clowns in politics

I see on Axios that the UK speaker says he won't let Johnson suspend parliament as a way of avoiding it passing an extension to the Brexit deadline.   That's nice of him.

But also, the article ends noting that John Bolton is a strong supporter of a no deal Brexit.

Even leaving aside the clownish behaviour of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage in the UK, and Trump in the US, shouldn't it give the libertarian-ish/classic liberal supporters of Brexit like J Soon and H Dale misgivings that a very, very serious US figure who they presumably feel is disastrously wrong in his interventionist inclinations is a strong supporter?   I get the feeling that they have simply abandoned the rule of thumb about judging people (or ideas) by the company they keep.  

And going back to clowning - why does the nutty Right and its causes attract this type so much now?  Look at Monckton and Delingpole on climate change, for example - they seem to think that acting the clown lends credibility to their cause.   Of course, thousands of words have been written about Johnson's use of clowning - so I'll say more about that.  Farage is a genuine upper class twit:  he doesn't have to act it out.

It's all part of a culture war attitude, I guess - that they want to point at Lefties as being so serious and earnest that they are not to be taken seriously.   The point is valid on some matters of identity politics,  but when it becomes pretty much your whole shtick, it becomes an obvious PR mask for lack of detailed understanding on complex and serious matters.   Look at Tim Blair for a local example.
