Nick and Joe are joined this week by Safya, a researcher at HOPE not hate.
The war on Ukraine by Russia has summoned all kinds of ghosts of historical fascism, and while this podcast normally focuses on the UK far right, we decided that the war was of high enough global importance to anti-fascists that we gave the issue precedent.
The subjects under discussion are:
- The various responses to the war from the wide spectrum of thought in the UK far right.
- Putin's dubious claims of 'denazification'.
- The kernel of truth to Putin's lie (Azov nazis in the Ukrainian military), and more widely -Banderism - as a national myth.
- Putin's hypocrisy in deploying the Neo-Nazi founded 'Wagner' battalion.
- White supremacy in the media, the mask slips.
- The UK government's repeated failure to those fleeing war, once again.
A sombre episode, due to the subject matter, and also because Roxy has taken a break to focus on challenging mainstream racism in the popular media.
