⚡️ The brand new #StateOfHate report analysing the far right threat is out tomorrow from @hopenothate

It paints a grim picture, ranging across global terror to the post-organisational far right.

More revelations from @hopenothate #StateOfHate report, yet more @Conservatives #Islamophobia thetimes.co.uk/article/tory-m…

And @DdesimoneDaniel reports on calls by @hopenothate to ban the Nazi-Satanist group, the Order of Nine Angels.

Four teens linked to the group were jailed last year. Bizarrely, I once met the O9A’s leader, for my book ‘HOMELAND’.

Here @singharj shows that deplatforming works against extremists, removing some of their oxygen and ability to raise funds ⬇️

This is also from @hopenothate’s #StateOfHate report.

The full #StateOfHate report from @hopenothate is now live.

I recommend reading if you want to understand the nuance of today’s extreme right threat.

It’s good to see the report get so much takeup. It’s taken a good few years of pushing, but now people seem to be listening - the question is, will political parties and social media giants also hear the message?

As well as editing #StateOfHate I also have a longish article in it, on the complex tensions revealed by last year’s Birmingham schools protests. You’ll need to download the full @hopenothate report to read it 👇

I forgot to add @lizziedearden comment about far-right ideas being mainstreamed (something that began a while ago and has been accelerated by the #Brexit situation)

Just seen @BenQuinn75 @VikramDodd @mollyblackall cover another of the @hopenothate #StateOfHate and @YvetteCooperMP warnings: how social media algorithms - especially @YouTube - drive radicalisation
theguardian.com/technology/202…

@BenQuinn75 @VikramDodd @mollyblackall @hopenothate @YvetteCooperMP @YouTube Meanwhile @BBCNews has covered the #Islamophobia revelations exposed by @hopenothate from its new #StateOfHate report, with suspensions made by @Conservatives of extreme comments by current & former councillors – time for the party to sort this out!

Good short film here by @NataliaGJ for @itvnews on the rise in hate crimes, inc. revelations from @hopenothate and others
itv.com/news/2020-03-0… #StateOfHate

This year's @hopenothate #StateOfHate revelations build on a pattern which has been emerging for some time now, including the rise of far-right terror and 'mainstreaming' of hatreds once considered extreme – see coverage of 2019's report as well

Here’s @lowles_nick writing for @NewStatesman about the threat from the Nazi-Satanist group the Order of Nine Angles, linked to several far-right terror cases and exposed in the recent (and last year’s) #StateOfHate report ⤵️
newstatesman.com/politics/uk/20…

Yet another revelation which unfortunately underscores the current far-right terrorism threat: it’s not that extremism Islamists have stopped being a threat (they haven’t) but authorities are playing catch-up elsewhere ⤵️
