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 series. The turnout was abysmal, which is unsurprising as Tommy and crew did very little work in building for it. Joe has the latest and tells us what we can expect from Tommy in the future.

Elsewhere, the guys dive into the scoop that HNH published yesterday about a secret nazi gig currently set to take place in Widnes next Saturday (17th), and the campaign we've launched to stop it.

Joe gives us the latest on Patriotic Alternative who, whilst remaining extremely active, are facing yet more publicity problems thanks to two of its more high-profile figures.

Finally, why did GB News give airtime to a Swedish far-right activist who has previously denied the Holocaust, and why do mainstream and semi-mainstream media outlets never learn?
