Roxy, Nick and Joe discuss the horrendous week that has passed, the three discuss the revelation that a double murder of two women last summer was influenced by a forum linked to the nazi-satanist o9a, and meanwhile we mourn the misogyny inflected hate crimes in Plymouth, that led to the worst mass shooting the UK has seen in 10 years. A grim insight into the far right, and it's overlap with misogynist ideology; this is not the usual upbeat episode about far right gaffes. Please listen with caut...

Come one, come all for another week of Radio 43 intelligence updates. In brief: Patriotic Alternative have kindly taken photographs of their membership and posted them on the internet for us, a yearly affair that is very useful and to be much encouraged by antifascists. Sam Melia (an ex member of the Nazi gang National Action) has been courting local media by polishing a monument... to the 39-45 war... against the Nazis. We look at the significance of mainstream hate in provoking 70+ racist inci...

The Radio 43 team are back for a landmark, special tenth report. Stephen Yaxley Lennon (Tommy Robinson) has found himself lumbered with a HUGE bill to pay for damages due to libel he inflicted on a child who was being bullied at school, while the post-lockdown, anti-lockdown, street protestors continues to mingle with racist conspiracy theorists and organized far-right elements.

Roxy has disguised herself in a BLM tshirt and gone deep cover in the fascist far right. Under the binoculars were the very easily surveilled Patriotic Alternative. Patriotic Alternative meanwhile were coping very hard with last weeks meme- defending their totally adhered to prohibition on boozing, coming out hard against dry grain snacks, and mocking fellow fascist, Mark Collett's, very silly shorts. Sam Melia (former National Action activist) even wanted to share that he can hold his bowel mov...

Patriotic Alternative are a nasty bunch of far-right, and as such have fallen into acrimony as they are wont to. Two key organizers have departed the mountaneering team-cum-nazi party with one of the departed being mocked by his former comrades for his mental health on the way out. While the far-right finds itself in a tangle, the mainstream right are desperately trying to untangle themselves from a racist fanbase that they have riled up. Having stoked distrust as to the motives of England to ta...

"When you do things like that about a town like Batley, I've kept really quiet, but I'll tell you something, the far right went down in my estimation when they said that. We have not resorted to that, but I'll tell you, you can tell them now if they're listening to Radio 43, we're still fighting for the antifascist victory, and the far right have got to go to the ballots and get something, and... and... I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them, love it!" -KevinKeeganMeme.mp4...

The 'No Platform' tactic has important origins in the antifascist movement. But what happens when the antifascist tactic is broadened to include the many non-fascist actors who may be deemed to have used hate speech? And what are the unintended consequences of this broadening tactic upon the fascists and other far right? HOPE not hate's Senior Researcher Joe Mulhall interviews David Renton on his forthcoming book: No Free Speech for Fascists: Exploring No Platform in History, Law and Politics....

The far right continue their shambolic campaign in Batley, finding very little traction amongst the community so far. It's starting to feel like they are in the race for the wrong reasons as Jayda Fransen waves around larger and larger crucifixes and denounces 'fake nationalists' but says nothing of note to the community she claims she wants to represent. While we laugh at the far right's folly we are also reminded by two court cases that show how dangerous these ideas really are. An ex-UKIP mem...

The Batley and Spen by-election on July 1st will see an absolute shower of far right filth descend on the good people of West Yorkshire. While they may argue on the details, they are all seeking to capitalise on division, and are desperate to promote their own brand.

Hear about all of their desperate, attentio...

Tragically, the far right have become Radio 43's largest fan base so far. One fringe figure wanted to feature so badly he made a list of foodstuffs for HnH to vet for racism. Meanwhile, the dwindling National Front, clearly with too much time on their hands, got in touch to offer a correction to last weeks show- a correction that, like their bizarre world-view, also proved to be false. Join Roxy, Joe and Nick for a review of the insignificant numbers at an anti migrant demo in dover, an anti-loc...

Want to learn from the Biden for President digital team? We had a great session with them - and you can listen to the podcast here. The Biden team faced off against the Trump campaign’s self-styled “death star” digital operation and won. They did it with innovative tactics, great content, and a lot of heart - from the candidate on down. But how did they approach their work? What worked well (and what didn’t)? And what can other campaigns learn from the stunning results - from fundraising, to rea...
