Following a longer hiatus than planned, Nick and Joe are back with a new episode of Radio 43.
The far-right terror attack in Dover has raised a lot of questions, not just about the far-right politics of the terrorist himself, but of the state of public anti-migrant discourse in Britain. We must talk of about this man’s engagement with far-right figures and his radicalisation, and deal properly with this pipeline. But we must also ask what it says about the party of government that just a few days prior to the attack, the Home Secretary used established far-right rhetoric in speaking about an “invasion of our southern coast”?
Elsewhere, there’s yet ANOTHER National Action-linked activist in Patriotic Alternative. How many is that now? The numbers keep adding up. Oh and this one is also a “Reverend” in a white supremacist cult. There will be more sweaty armpits amongst PA activists as the talk of proscription grows…
Finally, the pair look at Tommy Robinson’s most extreme article ever, in which he’s openly antisemitic and engages with racist pseudoscience. Tommy’s COVID conspiracy journey has ended up in a nightmare of antisemitism.
Cheers
