Far-right and Tories ‘blurred’ by increasing extremism on immigration, say Hope Not Hate leaders
Braverman's rhetoric ‘to the right of the BNP under Nick Griffin’
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during a press conference in Downing Street, London, after the Government unveiled plans for new laws to curb Channel crossings as part of the Illegal Migration Bill.
ANTI-FASCISTS must be alert to the “blurring” of the far right and the Conservative right as government policy becomes increasingly extreme, Hope Not Hate’s Nick Lowles said today.
In a fringe meeting at the POA conference, Mr Lowles warned the rhetoric of Home Secretary Suella Braverman was “far more right wing than the British National Party manifesto was under Nick Griffin.
“The BNP said ‘we’ll reduce numbers,’ ‘we’ll give people some money to go home,’ but they never had a policy of sending people off to Africa. One of the real problems that we have is that while we don’t have a big fascist movement in this country, the cordon sanitaire, the barrier that kept fascism on the extremes, for 30-40 years on the margins of society, is gone.”
