Hi John I was ten when I first saw the National Front on TV. They said people like my mum should be sent “home.” I was terrified she’d be taken away. That moment set me on this path. Since then, I’ve spent 35 years taking on the far right. I’ve been on the frontline against fascists, racists and extremists. I’ve seen the danger they pose up close, from the BNP in the 1990s, to Tommy Robinson, to the rise of Reform UK today. I’ve put these stories, and the lessons I’ve learned, into my new book How to Defeat the Far Right. It shares what I’ve learned from those years of campaigning, and the powerful stories of strong communities that show how hope can triumph even in difficult times.
