A new decade has only just dawned and we are already seeing the despondency felt by British people towards the looming future - 60% of people in an exclusive new poll commissioned by HOPE not hate fear that the next decade will be more dangerous than the last. And it’s not hard to see why.
The new government, buoyed by a huge majority in parliament, have reneged on commitments to EU citizens and refusing to reunite child refugees with family members. This issue of the magazine explores the government’s response to immigration and what must be done to challenge their attitudes.
Supporters of Boris Johnson are optimistic about the future but failure to deliver on the promises made risks increased anger as supporters who were promised the world look for something else to blame.
Across the world, climate change has been keenly felt, particularly in Australia where fires continue to rage across the country while India’s Prime Minister has introduced changes to the country’s citizenship laws, forcing people to prove that they are Indian as well as creating different rules for Muslim and non-Muslim refugees.
But there is real reason to find hope in 2020.
The traditional far right is organisationally at its weakest for 30 years. Leading figures such as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon are increasingly marginalised and the Brexit party, which triumphed in the European elections, picked up no seats and just 2% of the national vote at the election.
This latest issue of HOPE not hate magazine is all about the search for hope in 2020 and the way our organisation will be reaching out across communities to unite people, engage with their problems and build solutions to counter the threats we face.
