I don't see how Sargon can be considered far-right. The only "far right" positions I can think of him holding are those relating to national sovereignty (Brexit) and being against the concept of hate speech and in favor of free speech.
What ideas has he promoted that makes him far right?
Otherwise sure, Alsup and Milo can be called far right.
To a degree - he's only in favour of free speech for people he considers acceptable; cf his petition to get "Social Justice" courses banned in Universities.
(Then he supported a petition in favour of "Count Dankula", an avowed far-righter. Weird how that goes.)

I don't know the issue but would that have anything to do with government funded universities? Or is he arguing not even private universities should be legally permitted to teach "Social Justice" courses.

Can i get a source on that? Ive not read anything from him claiming to be of the far right.
"To clarify, we are calling for the teaching of social justice courses in universities to be temporarily suspended."
There is no mention of Government funding.

You're right, he's not stupid enough to come out and say it bluntly but his actions speak louder than, etc. (embracing Tommy Robinson, the pug incident, joining UKIP, etc.)
University courses aren't free speech. I should be able to freely talk about, and promote Phrenology publicly - but I shouldn't be allowed to teach it as factual in a university.
He wasn't banned for being far right. He was banned for sending racist comments to another user. Send pretty straight forward violation. They are just enforcing he agreed to when he signed up. Why is this news?

Other people agree that he's "far-right", e.g. "Ukip gains 500 new members since allowing prominent far-right activists to join party" says https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ukip-alt-righ...
