#NMUKBBCPanoramaDanielDeSimone "One possible conclusion to be drawn from the burst of violence this summer is that far-right narratives are now more mainstream than many would like to think. Is there now a far-right culture that is more prevalent in society and which transcends the need to organise in political groups? If so, activists may feel emboldened by what's happened over these past weeks and the risk of violence potentially could be even greater.
When reflecting this week, I thought back to a cold day in Preston in early January 2018. I was in court watching a defendant called Jack Renshaw, who was giving evidence in a trial that saw him convicted of stirring up racial hatred in antisemitic speeches. By the end of that year - and two further trials - he was also convicted of sexually grooming young boys and planning to kill his local MP with a machete in a neo-Nazi terror attack.
I checked my notes and, yes, my memory had been correct. Renshaw, an admitted neo-Nazi and former member of the BNP and National Action, was asked why he engaged in racist activism. In response, he said it helped change politics for everyone.
'It makes mainstream politics more right wing,' he told the court.
The reaction of the public, police and courts to the riots has shown how most people do not share the violent hatreds and fantasies of the far and extreme right.
But many others will feel a UK of far-right flash mobs is more scary, unpredictable and racist than they believed and wonder what the future holds.
This remains a dangerous moment." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74lwnxxxzjo

#WebsiteTheConversationSaraWilford "The radicalisation of middle-aged people is an emerging but overlooked phenomenon that has been brought to the fore by these riots, potentially because of the apparent link to the spread of misinformation online. As my ongoing research is finding, this group is vulnerable to being misled by fake news and conspiracy theories.
Middle-aged people are often bundled in with the 'over 50s' as a group, which includes the very old - a demographic with whom they have little in common. The middle aged are not 'digital natives' but they are online. And, crucially, they may actually be less informed about the dangers of online misinformation than younger people because they have not been the target of education in the same way. These days, significant effort is put in to educating young people about how to navigate the online world safely, but middle aged people missed the boat.
The middle-aged were introduced to the internet as adults and their understanding of the online sphere is largely self-taught and self-regulated. As a result, they can be poor decision makers when it comes to what to consume and what to believe. This exposure may lead people to make significant decisions, such as heading out to take part in violent unrest or attacking a mosque or a hotel housing asylum seekers, based on flawed or dishonest information that they have gathered on the internet." https://theconversation.com/middle-aged-radicalisation-why-are-so-many-of-britains-rioters-in-their-40s-and-50s-236263 And https://www.smidgeproject.eu/about-smidge

The application for leave to appeal against sentence therefore fails and is refused.'
He said the principal ground for appeal 'was substantially based on a version of events put forward by the applicant which we have rejected'." https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/may/20/jailed-wife-of-ex-tory-councillor-loses-sentence-appeal-over-southport-tweet

#NewspaperUKOnlineDorsetEye "[Stephen Yaxley-Lennon AKA Tommy Robinson] has a long history of misleading supporters, portraying himself as a persecuted patriot while using public donations to fund his personal life and legal problems. His so-called fight for 'freedom' is a lucrative business model built on fear and outrage.
Supporters deserve honesty. When someone claims to be standing for truth but hides the truth about their own affairs, that is not leadership. It is deceit. The bankruptcy filings and public records make it clear that the problem was not persecution but mismanagement and dishonesty." https://dorseteye.com/ever-wondered-what-stephen-yaxley-lennon-spends-his-donations-on/[jpg]
#NMAUSBSNewsElfyScott "Australia has also seen a number of anti-immigration marches in recent weeks.
On Saturday, protesters marched in capital cities calling for an end to 'mass migration'. The lead organisers of that event posted a notice on their website distancing themselves from any connection with Tommy Robinson or his views.
Two weeks earlier, there were the nationwide 'March for Australia' rallies, which were attended by members of the neo-Nazi National Socialist Network and allowed neo-Nazi leader Thomas Sewell to address crowds in Melbourne.
The March for Australia rallies also received notable support from far-right figures, including Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk. ...
Callum Jones, a political extremism researcher from Monash University, told SBS News grievances such as economic and social uncertainty play a role in political mobilisation for the far right and these groups capitalise on issues such as housing and the high cost of living to gain momentum.
'In the same way, we saw large-scale political mobilisation around the COVID-19 period where you had a lot of people turn out [to protests] because of perceived infringements on civil liberties and they were turning to protest things like mask mandates and vaccine mandates,' he said.
Jones said far-right politics focus on grievances and perceptions around 'entitlements or privileges or access to resources that are being taken away' and 'certain groups are scapegoated as being the people who have taken away those previously accessible resources or privileges'." https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/far-right-movements-australia-uk/qg4lpzb6n
