Is the EDL a terror group? Plus Tory leadership hopeful Mel Stride
Episode description
“It’s not protest, it’s not legitimate. It’s crime and violent disorder”. That’s how Sir Keir Starmer described the far-Right riots that popped up following the Southport stabbings. But who are the rioters and what is motivating them? Camilla and Gordon speak to a former EDL member about why people join similar groups - and why he left.
