Ahead of the launch of our annual State of Hate report, here’s a preview thread of some of the key elements of our definitive look at the far right and hate in the UK today. Sign up below to attend the launch event >>>
Extremists are seeking to latch on to concerns about the climate crisis to push racist and anti-migrant agenda. The Independent previews our findings.
The State of Hate primarily looks at the far right but we’ve also been concerned about the spread of poison in mainstream parties. We polled the public to rest perceptions of racism in Labour and the Conservatives. Here’s what we found. inews.co.uk/news/politics/…
Our report also has a special feature on Northern Ireland, where anger over the Brexit deal and wider tensions are raising fears about extremist responses. We also polled people to understand reactions to key events.
Conspiracy theories are often dangerous, and they also create fertile ground for the far right. The fallout from Trump’s defeat has splintered QAnon. Our team has unmasked the man behind one huge network targeting Q supporters.

OVERVIEW: A pandemic accelerated evolution

Traditional groups have been marginalised as the digital generation took centre stage with fluid online networks, ‘citizen journalism’ & social media influencers.

THE BIG PICTURE

A year in lockdown has seen conspiracy theories thrive, overt white nationalism return, the demonisation of migrants and a slew of terror convictions.

We're getting started with tonight's webinar, hearing from @Rob_Flaherty, @BexRink and @timothydurigan about how the Biden campaign tracked and countered disinformation during the Presidential campaign.
The challenge Democrats faced in 2016 and 2020 was not simply right wing memes and content, it was targeted content aimed at persuading people to not vote, or to believe actual untruths, and was regularly racist in its nature.
.@Rob_Flaherty: we poll tested the attacks we faced to understand which worked, and which voters those attacks were persuading, so we could decide where to spend time and money countering dis- and misinformation.

This week, a cross party committee of parliamentarians released a powerful report on the impact of the racism Black people in Britain face. Read more about it below. This thread highlights some of the Joint Committee's most damning findings. committees.parliament.uk/committee/93/h…
"The headline finding from the polling was that the majority (over 75%) of Black people in the UK do not believe their human rights are equally protected compared to white people."
More than 60% of Black people don't think their health is as protected by the NHS compared to white people.

This polling is in line with our own, as the report highlights.

We welcome the energy and determination of those who are protesting at @Twitter’s lack of action on hate on their platform. Here is a thread from @jemma_levene for those who want to learn more and take action to fight antisemitism and other forms of online hate:
Online hate is a daily reality for too many @Twitter users. Public figures and campaigners, particularly women and those from marginalised communities, regularly receive a torrent of online abuse from high-profile accounts encouraging ‘pile-ons’ by bots and anonymous accounts
Wiley used his platform of >500k followers to launch a stream of antisemitic tweets, employing multiple antisemitic tropes along the way. To learn more about how antisemitism is propagated online, read @CST_UK’s report on antisemitic content on @Twitter cst.org.uk/data/file/4/2/…
