Entrysits is the term used for the far left radicals, the militant left, who in the early '80s infiltrated the Labour party and cased havoc. They got kicked out then but rejoined under Corbyn and have enjoyed a real resurgence in the last 4 years.

Hardliners are those on the far right of the conservative movement, who would see us go to hell in a hand basket rather than give u on their dreams of Empire renewed.
