In fairly short order, the far right have gone from fringe lunatics to a supermarket ideology: different aisles for different resentments, all under one roof of hate. Cheap conspiracies. Hyper-masculinity. Cultural grievance. Violence. https://t.co/ERcLkFIzpf

National Institute of Economic and Social Research said last week that if net migration fell to zero, it would knock 3.7% off the UK’s annual national income by 2040.

Branded as movements for free expression and public safety, they are orchestrated and funded by far-right groups whose actions achieve the opposite. In truth, they are a double oxymoron. Click for full article.

Branded as movements for free expression and public safety, they are orchestrated and funded by far-right groups whose actions achieve the opposite.

🚨Stephen Lennon is marching again in London this weekend. He insists he isn’t a racist, says it over and over, but the facts tell a different story. Here are five reasons why “Tommy Robinson” is a racist.

Extremist groups in Europe and North America that have specifically targeted gaming communities and infiltrated them by using memes, humour, and gameplay experiences as a way to groom younger players before being introduced to radical content.

Racists in Britain are both more unapologetic than ever and more in touch with mainstream opinion, as our media and politicians happily scapegoat asylum seekers.

The far right have gone from fringe lunatics to a supermarket ideology: different aisles for resentments, all under one roof. Cheap conspiracies. Hyper-masculinity. Cultural grievance. Violence, presented as inevitable. It’s rubbing-off on our kids. https://t.co/rI6Y8EhOAz

Caught up or caught out? Following UK riots, a spate of exemplary judicial sentences have been handed down. @NatCen is working to profile the architects behind the violence and understand the susceptibility of those seduced by far-right distorted dogma.

@TimesRadio @DrRobWray @CalumAM People see patterns of Islamist terrorism across Europe and when the authorities suppress information it has the opposite intended effect - ie conspiracy theories and anger. So if authorities are open & honest, people will trust them. If there’s apparently an agenda, they won’t.

Pleased to be asked onto Times Radio Breakfast this week to talk about the disinformation surge following the Liverpool FC parade incident. @NatCen

[Times Radio @TimesRadio]

“There are those that are hellbent on sharing disinformation.”

It’s a “real challenge” for police to race against the rapid spread of disinformation online after an incident like the Liverpool parade crash, explains @DrRobWray.
