On this episode, Nick and Joe discuss what is a very fast-moving situation.
The far-right are mobilising in London this weekend in opposition to a demonstration calling for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Near the centre of this is Tommy Robinson, who was allowed back onto X (Twitter) on Monday, and who has mentioned repeatedly that he’s wanted to get the English Defence League (EDL) back together.
Home Secretary Braverman’s recent comments calling pro-Palestine demonstrations “hate marches” have contributed to firing up an already hostile, and increasingly energised, mass of the former far-right street movement.
Along with worrying rumblings from the underground, the literal Nazis in the National Front look set to make their Remembrance Day march to the Cenotaph as usual, whilst somehow avoiding being labelled a “hate march” by our Home Secretary…
It’s a muddied picture, but Joe helps us to get to grips with what we should expect to see.
