Radio 43 | Who are the Anglofuturists?

Hope Not Hate Episode 67

In late June, the shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick took the stand at a conference. Addressing the crowd of Tories and radical-right political figures, he made an unusual statement. “I am what can be described as an Anglofuturist.” he said. His statement was applauded. But what did he actually mean?

The movement's aims are much darker than they appear at first glance. Behind the gimmicky images of spaceships named after famous Victorians is a group of people pushing, at the very least for mass deportations, and, at worst, a whites-only nation. Anglofuturism is a gloss over disturbingly extreme ideas.
