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 forthcoming ...

Roxy and Nick meet to discuss the bumbling, useless and petro-pound fuelled human wreckage on the UK far right. -Tommy ducks court, and looks like he might be going back to jail (thanks to the work of HnH). -BF wave around silly petitions. -A climate denial campaign that is being SHOCKINGLY funded by petro-pounds. -Patriotic Alternative continue the fascist creep. Important info here for anti-fascists who want some forward intel. Share and amplify this episode, there's a lot of information in it...

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 Herma...

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.

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'. ...

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. -The dubious ...

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.
Feb 09, 2022•37 min
The three come together to discuss: The small showing Tommy managed in Telford. The Uyghur issues around the Beijing Olympics. Boris Johnson's disgraceful use of a misinformation meme the far-right prefers. And the upcoming Southend Byelection. Get your ears on the antifascist antidote.

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. Elsewhere the Tory's are embroiled in a rolling islamophobia crisis, citizenship is being snatched as a part of the government's authoritarian...

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 associations with...

Roxana Khan Williams met with Nick Lowles to discuss Nick's work investigating Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) and how we believe we can put a stop to his shocking attempt to escape justice. We need your support to win this case- and potentially, together, we could set back the far right by decades. Prod. Jake Pace Lawrie

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. Unfortunately, ...

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. many of h...

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 to pa...

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. Alan Leggett (who has adopted the powerfully descriptive moniker 'Active Patriot UK') is discussed in all his mediocrity. Apparently r...

Roxana, Nick S and Joe together again on the barricades of 21st century antifascism. Roxy reflects on the struggle against racism in cricket that's unfolding right now, and what hope there is in the coming weeks coming out of the stitch up by Yorkshire Cricket Club. Alan Leggett (aka Active Patriot, one of a drizzle-sodden millieux of 'migrant hunters') is going 'on tour' trying to whip up hatred, and the company Crowdfunder are so far allowing him to fundraise for it on their platform. Corbyn, ...

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 understandab...

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 fall...

It's Tory Party Conference. A spellbinding time for everyone. But the British far right are instead obsessed with their own irrelevance, exploiting fears and failing to win popular support again and again, with a little help from antifascists everywhere.

In conjunction with the launch of the new, bumper, Heroes of the Terraces publication from HOPE not hate, Nick Spooner and Jake Pace Lawrie return with a new episode of Metapolitics, the series that looks at the cultural aspects of the far right and antifascist resistance today.

It's a sad day to be a far right activist. :( Videogames and airsoft provide a bit of light relief, from otherwise just an endless experience of failure. But still you dust off your jackboots, and you schlep down to Croydon, hoping to show the minorities your white pride. But then... your leader simply... fails to show. up. This episode of Radio 43 charts more pathetic showings for the far right and their rabble, as well as the nazi given a punishment of reading Shakespeare, and other unfortunat...
