The Dublin riots & the far-right in Ireland: how did we get here? - w/ historian and author, Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc

December 05, 2023 16:00 - 58 minutes - 40.5 MB

On Thursday 23rd November, a 49-year-old Irish citizen, originally from Algeria but who had lived in Ireland for 20 years, committed a heinous knife attack on children at a primary school in Parnell Square East in Dublin. Quickly, far-right and anti-migrant activists and agitators turned to social media, spreading a range of misinformation about the attack, including that the perpetrator was an illegal immigrant. Within hours Dublin was ablaze, as rioters set police cars, buses and a tram ...

Radio 43 | Episode 50 | Intelligence Report | The far right remembers Britain's war dead the only way it knows how

November 13, 2023 12:00 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MB

On Armistice Day, 2000 far right activists and football hooligans descended on London under the guise of "defending" the Cenotaph from pro-Palestine demonstrators.  10 days ago, Britain's hooligan chat groups were filled with the usual discussion of football and beer. But they quickly mobilised as the (now former) Home Secretary Braverman branded  pro-Palestine demonstrations as "hate marches", and as the The Daily Mail and Douglas Murray suggested the Cenotaph was under threat. All this co...

Radio 43 | Episode 49 | Intelligence Report | Is Tommy Robinson returning to the streets?

November 07, 2023 17:00 - 24 minutes - 16.7 MB

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 c...

Radio 43 | Episode 48 | Intelligence Report | (Susan) Hall of Shame

September 13, 2023 16:00 - 26 minutes - 18.2 MB

In some breaking news, HOPE not hate researchers have unearthed the deeply alarming views of the Conservative candidate for London Mayor, Susan Hall. Hall has liked posts endorsing Enoch Powell, Islamophobic tropes about Sadiq Khan, supported the myth that the 2020 American election was stolen from Donald Trump and expressed a disdain for the press and democracy. But what ought to happen now? On this episode of Radio 43, Nick and Georgie sit down to discuss the ins and outs of the shockin...

Radio 43 | Episode 47 | Intelligence Report | Sending the fash packing, one town at a time

August 09, 2023 13:00 - 33 minutes - 23 MB

The episodes are coming thick and fast at the moment, and here we are back again with another Radio 43. On Monday, the first asylum seekers arrived at the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset. The plan has gone ahead despite the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) condemning the boat as a “potential deathtrap” due to serious fire safety concerns. Across the country, tensions are rising as the Government continues to place asylum seekers in hotels, barges and barracks, and the far right try to use it to th...

August 07, 2023 17:00 - 33 minutes - 23.2 MB

On this episode of the HOPE not hate podcast, Nick sits down with the Editor of Joyzine, Paul Maps, to talk about a forthcoming fundraising campaign that Paul and his team are running to raise money for HOPE not hate.

Next weekend, Joyzine will be celebrating its 20th birthday with a two layer event at The Old Library in New Cross. Across two stages ove...

Radio 43 | Episode 46 | Intelligence Report | From the Government to the Streets: Anti-Migrant Activism in 2023

July 26, 2023 16:00 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MB

Welcome to episode 46 of Radio 43.  This episode takes a similar form to the last one, in that it serves as a deep-dive into one particular topic: anti-migrant demonstrations. There’s no getting away from the fact that this has become a really unifying focus for the far right this year.  HOPE not hate has been monitoring closely, and there’s been over 60 anti-migrant demonstrations that have taken place on town streets and at temporary accommodation around the country in 2023. But where d...

Radio 43 | Episode 44 | Intelligence Report | The New Fascist Petting Zoo

May 03, 2023 15:00 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MB

Hello! It’s been a mere 5 weeks since the last episode, and there’s much to dig into. Joe has managed to tear himself away from his new hobby in British rivers to sit down with Nick for a discussion on the massive split in Patriotic Alternative. The two examine the context, the split itself and its fallout, and try to get to the bottom of some recent claims by other antifascists that the breakaway faction, despite being less than a month old, is now the most dangerous group in the UK. Else...

Radio 43 | Episode 43 | Intelligence Report | The "Hull Hitler" Feels the Heat

March 22, 2023 14:00 - 49 minutes - 34.1 MB

Right, it’s been ages since the last Radio 43, very sorry!  It has been a ridiculous start to the year and Nick and Joe have struggled to find the time to sit down to record, but they’re back now with a BUMPER edition of the podcast. On this week’s episode, the pair take a look back over the previous 3 months to pick out some trends and developments on the far-right. With so many anti-migrant demonstrations going off around the country, it’s been a worrying time. Elsewhere the two discuss...

Radio 43 | Episode 42 | Intelligence Report | Down The Plughole: Bathgate Nazi Gig Gets Smoked

December 05, 2022 15:00 - 37 minutes - 25.5 MB

Nick and Joe are back a week later than planned because poor old Joe lost his voice. But thankfully it has returned just in time for him to belt out some carols and, more importantly but less seasonally, talk about the far-right on this podcast. It’s a show full of big stories this week as the pair begin by treading familiar podcast terrain: the continued links between Patriotic Alternative and the extreme far-right, in this case the Nordic Resistance Movement - a properly nasty bunch. Nex...

Radio 43 | Episode 41 | Intelligence Report | It Was A Far-Right Terror Attack

November 11, 2022 08:00 - 29 minutes - 20.4 MB

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 fe...

Radio 43 | Episode 40 | Intelligence Report | A Nazi Knees-Up In Widnes

September 07, 2022 16:00 - 38 minutes - 26.8 MB

Whilst flash storms hitting the UK and British politics still in a state of tumult, Nick and Joe get together to discuss some twists on familiar topics: low turnout at a far-right demo, fascists staring down the barrel of some tricky legal problems and the mainstream media failing to grasp the severity of platforming far right figures. --  Stephen Yaxley-Lennon ("Tommy Robinson") held another demo in Telford last weekend in conjunction with screening the fourth episode of his documentary se...

Fear & HOPE 2022: A Realignment of Identity Politics, in conversation with Anthony Painter

August 30, 2022 15:00 - 43 minutes - 29.7 MB

It has been a decade since HOPE not hate released its first groundbreaking Fear & HOPE report, the biggest investigation into identity undertaken in Britain. This year, following ten years of political upheaval, HNH has released a new Fear & HOPE report to better understand how social attitudes have changed during that time. In the recovery from a global pandemic but heading into economic recession, amidst a political context of culture wars, Brexit fallouts and fracturing across the polit...

Radio 43 | Episode 39 | Intelligence Report | Special Episode: It's a win for HOPE not Tate

August 24, 2022 13:00 - 48 minutes - 33.3 MB

It’s been a hectic time at HOPE not hate as we’ve just successfully netted one of our biggest fish in recent years; a right whopper by the name of Andrew Tate. Tate is a violent misogynist who shot to fame on social media, especially TikTok, projecting a supposedly glamorous lifestyle of fast cars and wealth whilst simultaneously using his platform to share his disgusting views towards women, as well as his homophobia, ableism and Islamophobia. On TikTok, Tate content has been viewed many ...

August 10, 2022 11:00 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MB

Nick and Joe come back after a short hiatus in order to discuss the far-right and conspiracy groups’ targeting of Drag Queen Story Hour events, a series of storytelling events at public libraries during the summer holidays. The campaign has been spearheaded by Patriotic Alternative (PA) and has seen buy-in from groups across the far-right, but in recent days some have stepped away citing Patriotic Alternative’s extremism as something too toxic with which to be associated. Patriotic Alternat...

Radio 43 | Episode 37 | Intelligence Report | Boris Goneson

July 08, 2022 10:00 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MB

So Boris Johnson’s era as Prime Minister is reaching its conclusion, as on Thursday 7th July he took to the podium outside Number 10 to announce his resignation. But what will the legacy of the Johnson era be when it comes to anti-racism and racial equality in Britain? Have things improved or has his government been a disaster for cohesion in Britain? Nick and Joe take a broad view at the last 2 and a half years. Such a vast amount has happened in the last couple of weeks that it’s easy to ...

Radio 43 | Episode 36 | Intelligence Report | It’s Been A Minute…

June 22, 2022 14:00 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MB

It’s been a minute, but after a short hiatus Radio 43 is back on the airwaves. Thank you for your patience and apologies for the period of silence from Radio 43! Sadly, personnel changes at HNH mean that in the intervening period we have waved a fond farewell to both Roxy and Jake. We wanted to get them on the show before they left, but for various reasons we couldn’t make it work. We hope that you’ll join us in sending them love and all the ebay for the future.

Radio 43 | Episode 35 | Intelligence Report | Who? Where? And WTF?! Election Spesh.

April 21, 2022 11:00 - 34 minutes - 23.5 MB

The who, where and wtf?! of all the far-right candidates running in the upcoming local elections. Essential listening for all those who want to oppose fascists from establishing local power in their constituency. The team also turn to the brutal and callous Rwanda proposal for offshoring  asylum processing (and subsequently successful claimants) entirely from the UK and to Rwanda. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, has said the  process is "opposite the nature of God".  According ...

April 06, 2022 15:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MB

Joe and Nick giving the facts, and nothing but the facts you need to take on fascists today. It's a bumper episode. Tommy Robinson (Stephen Lennon) got deported from Mexico, the biggest and most humorous story of the day. The irony of a racist, Trump supporter, being deported from Mexico hopefully not lost on anyone... and meanwhile more and more evidence that Lennon has been lying about his wealth piles up each day. It's looking bleak for Stephen. Elsewhere Joe and Nick discuss the forth...

March 18, 2022 10:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

State of HATE 2022 – the leading annual report outlining the key trends and changes in the domestic and international far right – shows how the past year has led to an environment in which we will likely see the return of far right activists back on the streets, standing in elections and exploiting the uncertainties created by economic hardship. To discuss the report's findings and to take questions from the audience, HOPE not hate's Head of Research, Dr Joe Mulhall, and researcher Patrik ...

March 08, 2022 18:00 - 44 minutes - 30.5 MB

Nick and Joe are reunited with Roxana for an overview of the wasted lives on the British Far Right. Tommy Robinson gets involved in a very banged-up, clown car of a political party, it is unclear why he has, and its likely to all fall apart. PA did a conference, typically they were inept on security allowing info gathering all round. The Russian invasion of Ukraine thunders on into an ever-growing nightmare.

Radio 43 | Episode 31 | Intelligence Report | The Ghosts of Fascism in Russia's War on Ukraine

March 03, 2022 16:00 - 38 minutes - 26.2 MB

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 'denazifi...

February 17, 2022 16:00 - 30 minutes - 21 MB

Joe, Nick and Roxy have been banging out the Lemsips today in a particularly congested episode of R43.    They discuss:  -Neil Coyle and Sinophobia.  -Resistance GB, Ex-tory councillors involved in Keir Starmer bothering.  -Tommy Robinson's latest, embarrassing, and now deleted video, where he picks a bleeding spot from his forehead and brags about spending donations on booze.  -Tommy hanging out with a man involved in a brawl death.  -More still from the no marks in Patriotic Alternative.  ...

February 09, 2022 15:00 - 36 minutes - 25.2 MB

Stephen Lennon's crusade in Telford continues apace. But while "Tommy Robinson" loudly protests horrific instances of grooming, he has overlooked how close to home abuse often is.  Elsewhere the gang discuss the pro-genocide "joke" of Jimmy Carr, as well as further convictions for nazi terrorists, who were planning novel  terror, with 3d printed guns, and bomb-making manuals disguised as Minecraft guides.

February 01, 2022 17:00 - 33 minutes - 22.8 MB

Stephen Lennon's financial gameplaying looks like it will finally catch up with him. Asset after asset is being revealed to officials as a result of research done by antifascists at HOPE not hate, and with the support of our donors. You. Surely it's only a matter of time now before Stephen's houses get given to those he has victimized? Tick Tock, Stephen.

Radio 43 | Episode 25 | Intelligence Report | Abuse is a Colourless Crime

January 13, 2022 13:00 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MB

CW for some discussion of sexual violence. Stephen Yaxley Lennon, Tommy Robinson, has been preparing a documentary looking at sexual crimes in Telford. While the scourge of sexual violence against women is disgusting, it's clear that Tommy's motives are less than pure. Why is it that Britain's noisiest islamophobe would want to focus solely on the crimes of Asian individuals and gangs, as opposed to the bigger picture of violence that afflicts all communities?  Tommy's record of associati...

Make Tommy Pay | Nick Lowles talks to Roxy

December 11, 2021 14:00 - 27 minutes - 19.2 MB

Nick, Roxy and Joe, come together to assess the most recent goings on in the sad social lives of the far right. Britain First have lots of possibly made-up signatures on their anti RNLI, pro-drowning,  campaign, Ben Raymond is doing bird (8 years of a custodial that even an abolitionist might like to celebrate), the Reclaim Party has got into bed with a real crank, and 'Fenek Solere' of PA seems to have stopped publishing entirely- off the back of our Patriotic Alternative report. Unfortuna...

National Action Founder Jailed. Matthew Collins speaks to Roxana Khan Williams

December 06, 2021 16:00 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MB

Ben Raymond thought of himself as one of the most important figures on the British far right. Raymond believed himself to be untouchable by the law and a genius of political organisation. An academic, an intellectual, a propagandist, all of it was a fiction, none of it was true, Raymond was an artist of moderate talent.  It was only a matter of time, thanks to the huge effort by antifascists, and on this occasion with thanks also to state investigators, that Raymond was put behind bars. man...

Roxy, Nick and Joe come together to discuss the Patriotic Alternative report just published by HOPE not hate. We have the inside story from the PA event, and much much more. PA held their annual conference some weeks ago. But before the hors-d'œuvre could be quaffed, antifascists had leaked the location. Mark Collett had bungled things once again, and no amount of Sam Melia's sucking up could fix things. Events organisers wanted them out. Pour little lad Mark is in a pickle. While PA tried...

Joe and Tricky Nicky Spooner meet to discuss the far right's crass reaction to the terror incident in Liverpool. Despite knowing nothing the gamut of far-right 'thinkers', 'citizen journalists' and 'activists' have projected their accumulated ignorance onto the attack with the hope that this will be the sort of misery that will validate their worldview once more.

Nick and Joe return (Roxy is off today) to discuss PA's most recent embarrassment, this time, and again, it's caused by their leader Mark Collett- the number one hiking enthusiast on the far right. Collett put his hiking boots away for a short moment to broadcast an especially putrid little stream where he blamed the recently murdered David Amess for his own death at the hands of a killer. The disgusting comments seem to be motivated by an attempt to retain the members of PA who are unders...

October 20, 2021 16:00 - 28 minutes - 19.9 MB

Roxana and Nick discuss the murder of David Amess, a killing that will be remembered as another example of violence being used to harm our democratic freedoms. The far right responded gleefully to the killing, instantly spotting an opportunity to weaponize it against minorities. In reality the far right only cares for nurturing their own hatred, as their responses in the wake of the murder of Jo Cox also demonstrated. Despite this solemn episode, Roxy and Nick also find time to confront the...
