- After weeks of rising tension and violence across the country, we take a deep dive inside the mind of the far right.
Lewis speaks to a former friend of Tommy Robinson - the man who made him go viral. What made him turn his back on their ideology? And what is the future of the far right in the UK?

It's not what ANYONE voted for.
@@gpw203 you what mate?
And barely get a mention on this podcast. The election was a dog whistle on all sides
They do. But the right wing of Labour chose not to challenge it either, leaving the far right a free pass and aiding the normalisation of their exteme views.
@@cjeffrey8713 problem is, the fasc-press were cheering yaxley and pals on,
I was a paid up member of the BNP back in the day. I remember getting wrecked in discussions with people who were more educated than myself but coming away thinking I was right and they were just loony lefties. The only thing that changed my mind was eventually mixing with people from different backgrounds due to sports and realising that they’re not the boogeyman that were told they are. I hold very little optimism about the subject though as I work on building sites and the vast majority of the whites on site support these riots. There has to be integration initiatives put in place and more education for people on the matter otherwise this will only get worse.
At least you saw the light. The real enemy is not in our working class neighbourhood.
Is this going to be yet another discussion on this problem while never mentioning the Daily Mail, Daily Express and The Sun?
The answers are right there in front of everyone in black and white in every store on every high street that people go to.
you forgot the independent and guardian who love stirring the shat too
Exactly!
They were a big problem as opinion-leaders, and especially historically, but they're actually somewhat marginal these days, they are more led than leading. You only have to look at shifts in the telegraph to see that aspect of the evolution.
They're reprehensible, but not really the problem these days. Not by far the worst problem. Their biggest contribution is, as silly as it sounds, a patina of respectability or mainstream-ness. They lack the high cognitive availability of social media, and the mechanistic underpinnings.
@@simonkapadia7582 Yep! You are quite right in your analysis!
@simonkapadia7582 I tend to think they still set the agenda as a lot of what is discussed on TV follows what's in the papers but you are right it is diminishing.
However, people in the UK have spent several decades soaked in the ideology that has been on the front pages of 'The Sun' even if they didn't read it. They definitely should shoulder the blame.
I love how the media stokes up these racial biases by platforming people like Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson and then act surprised when there’s a riot.
Exactly this!
They have no moral compass.
Nobody “acted surprised” on day 2 more than the rioters that all had to cancel, quick-sharp. 😂😂😂😂

Fascinating. We need to show people WHO the refugees are and what they have been through. Maybe some people will learn the truth and see that far right for what they are
Best idea I've heard out of all of this. Let these people hate-watch an ongoing reality TV series seeing the conditions these immigrants are in now and where they're coming from, and where they're going - to be neighbors with the people that hate them - is still a step up.
What are the far right. Define it.
Excellent Perhaps you could lobby the gov. to build about 50 tower blocks in around your areas and encourage Muslim people to move into them. They would be in a much better position to receive your help and attention.

@@TheLampinion what basis do you think these people even voted?
@@TheLampiniEducation cannot be fixed unless the bullies in management are rooted out. It is rarely spoken about due to fear, lack of solidarity between teachers who are nowhere near as caring as they like to pretend, and weak unions that fail to provide adequate support. Funding is also an issue as well as atrocious behaviour that has become the norm in many schools. Most people in management today would not be considered intelligent enough or to possess the judgement and compassion required to manage others effectively, only a decade or so ago.

@@buttercupqueen163 Double Down news I think
I'm convinced that one of my friends is getting radicalised and I as a normal person, have stopped talking to him.
Is he gonna abuse a few young girls , or blow up a train.?
Its absolutely critical the reasons behind this mess are understood. If the whole thing is dismissed as a small band of extremists we will have failed to learn the lessons from history and will drive them into arms of evil people who are waiting for them.
They are already in the arms of evil people. The problem is that these people simply won't vote for the policies that would actually help them. Any politician that wants to decrease inequality they denounce as Socialists and call them evil. So how do we deal with it? We on the Left know how to fix their problems because we know the causes of them, but they see us as the enemy and would rather fight us than work with us. So what are we supposed to do?
They are the evil people that people will be driven into the arms of.
Lets make it clear that the reasons are economic. 14 years of Tory misrule leading to huge concerntation of wealth at the top. Correct?
It's a very valid point, but the "evil arms" are not just waiting anymore, they are and have been for sometime, shaping the political discourse via social media.
We don't allow the same concentration of influence in any of our other media (print / broadcast) for the very reason that we don't think a democracy can function when there is a monopoly on the means to shape public opinion / perception of reality.
the left are not interested in reasons i'm afraid
A toxic combination of wealth being shifted upwards through the guise of austerity, by politicians.
And a media that has facilitated it, and even worse blamed the resulting lower living standards for millions of the least well off on immigrants.
The rich are happy as long as we're not talking about where the money is really going. Divide and rule.
Hope not Hate think mainstream right figures like Farage and Douglas Murray are far-right. Their main focus is smearing mainstream conservatives, not fighting the far right. If you are at all serious about journalism, you should want nothing to do with Hope not Hate.
Farage and Murray are involved in stochastic terrorism. They know poisonous rhetoric will incite weak minded people to violence whilst benefiting from plausible deny ability .
Farage is definitely far right his companies platform is a copy paste of the 80s BNP platform
If left of you is the wall then everyone else is far-right.

During the riots I think Tommy's Twitter was the most viewed Twitter feed in the UK. 50 million views per day at the peak of it. It was a frenzy. Yeah, every other day for years and years it's daily mail and such.
Ignorance. Ignorance of government policy, ignorance of foreign cultures, ignorance of history, ignorance of British society.

Excellent. Such a candid interview that clearly highlights deep problems in British society.
No mention of the "Far Right" by Rachel Reeves in 2016:
Labour MP Rachel Reeves (28 September 2016): “Riots could sweep streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed after Brexit”, “Britain could "explode" into rioting if immigration is not curbed after Brexit.” (Independent newspaper)

@@Bantu1875 It's a made up stage name to obscure that he's Irish! 🤣

The FOR RIGHT. Where do they come from? They haven't come from anywhere. They are native English. Defending their families and lives. Put a blonde wig on, some heels and a dress. Now go and walk through their neighbourhood.
History tells the same story the world over.
Not just Tommy, what about, Konstantin Kisin, Jordan Peterson, Douglas Murray?
Interesting you brought up Kisin , he gets up my nose too , but as bad as the others ?
Shall we just become N Korea and do away with all opponents?
I don't think Kisin and Peterson are on the same level as Murray personally. Matthew Goodwin and Alex Phillips are though (she regularly gets promoted around _far right_ circles now). Matthew is a surprise to me as I remembered him to be far more moderate than the ethnonationalist rhetoric he's now espousing. I guess these riots have helped expose the true colours of these people.
@@vicredshaw1155 I saw Kisin and his Thunderbirds puppet mate interviewing someone about psychopathy. They were both really proud that they scored high on a psychopath test. I think that is part of what the attraction of the Right is about. They want to be seen as hardmen. The Right encourages these people to think lack of empathy and intolerance is a manly mixture of tough realism and a warrior quest . It's not just about race or religion. It's also about gender, disabilities, wars, women, benefits, human rights and so on. Really, it's the province of maladjusted plonkers.
@@vicredshaw1155 I would say he's the prolifically unchallenged.
I have a huge respect for those people who were ensnared by the far-right echo chambers being able to pull themselves out of it and then talk of their experiences. It takes a great deal of self-awareness and strength. Many people might feel that others would judge them too harshly, or not want to open up about such a personal journey. They might worry people would try to shame them.
People who've had this journey and come out the other end into a better place are the best people to spread the narrative showing the far-right for what it is.
Coming from some who is clearly in an echo chamber. Why do you people not have self awareness if your own hypocrisy?
And what is it, exactly?
True.
@@themagnificentche1119 I'm not surprised you're confused. I imagine the world often doesn't turn out as simply as your assumptions suggest.
Extrapolating from what I've said that I'm somehow in an echo chamber and a hypocrite is quite the stretch of imagination. You don't know where I get my information from, nor have I said anything near enough to demonstrate any hypocrisy.
Clearly you have an image in mind of a certain type of person and are eager to project that onto strangers without justification. Without knowing anything about me. I'm not the one lacking self-awareness here.
@@benjones3466 I'm not into word salad so I will just say it; this channel is obviously an echo chamber.
It's very simple, this is the same frustration that was driving the push for brexit, we tried to do it democratically, but I think we can all agree that only a very small group of people got what they wanted out of brexit. That frustration hasn't been addressed, and it's now at the point where it's manifesting as anger.
Aye i mean what the far right are asking for is almost practically impossible, illegal and completely unacceptable to most of the remainder of the UK population.
In polls, the vast majority of Brits today support rejoining the EU
@andrewgreen5892 yes, leaving the EU wasn't going to fix the problem, but every time the issue of immigration was raised the government (blair onwards) would use our membership of the EU as an excuse to shut the conversation down, their hands were apparently tied and that was that. We only have to look at poland or Hungary to see how our government should've responded instead of calling a referendum on EU membership. Brexit was an opportunity for a small number of people to exploit the growing frustration among thr British public for their own interest, look at some of the financial restrictions we avoided by brexiting when we did, ofcourse this means nothing to the average joe bloggs but to a small number of people this ment millions if not billions.
When the EU starts ETIAS next year, Tommy Robinson won't be going to any European 'Schengen' Countries either with his criminal record - shame...
Yaxley Lennon is his real name. The guy with the EU passport
I hear the Irish may be looking again at that passport they gave him.

@@unitysprings3631 Nope and you don't need to just get your info from the media. I've seen Tommy 10 names in talk shows, spouting his hatred and sensible people shutting him down. 👍
Tories have been radicalising smoothbrains for years.
It’s people who forget that 2000 years ago we already had North Africans and Anatolians living here during Roman times. And the fact of the Anglo Saxon migration and Christianisation. And the Danish invasion and repaganisation of the Angles and then the Christianisation of the Danes themselves. And the Norman invasion and the fact our whole aristocracy is foreign. And the Jewish and Huguenot migrations. And the Empire.
If we all kept an eye on the fact that we are complicated mongrels and that until 60 years ago British citizenship stretched from Jamaica to India then we wouldn’t have this problem. Racism should be impossible to a properly self conscious English person. But then again it should have been impossible for the part Saxon, part Angle, part Frisian, part Wendish, part Jewish Germans and we all know how that went
I mean, race in and of itself is a construct. In the end, it's mostly a salient marker for other things, something highly visible that triggers biases, assumptions and generalisations.
Someone asked me the other day when the fact I'm mixed race had any impact on how I felt about the riots, to which I had to answer no, because no one can tell by looking at me, and so it has never been a factor in my life.
Even culture, in the end is an abstraction. Comes down to the people we interact with, and from whom we've learned expectations, norms, behaviours and beliefs, and a kind of pick'n'mix trolley of things we selectively choose from.
To some of us being British involves an identification with places, or with our concept of history, or with our beliefs about our ancestry, or to our sensibilities or sense of humour, or to the way people conduct themselves. None of those are fixed. A person who went to public school and then Oxbridge, and then into academia shares almost none of the specific configurations of perspective that someone from a different place, with a different community and family history and education and work background has.
They might enjoy some of the same things, they speak broadly the same language, have the same TV channels available to them, but their "culture" is not one British culture, it's two different concepts of what that means.
The important thing, is that no one "owns" being British. No one gets to take their country back from anyone else. As a whole, as a democracy, we can choose to say things are unacceptable, but only in that sense, only as a polity. Groups don't get to try and remove other groups.
@@simonkapadia7582
Hear, Hear!
@@simonkapadia7582 mostly agree with this. Certainly agree on race - I’ve studied classical Roman and Greek literature and it categorically is not there. Xenophobia in bucket loads but no concept of race to be found
If I disagree at all it’s that I don’t think you’ve put enough emphasis on long term fixed class boundaries which to my perception have been the greatest set of dividing lines in British society. I’m not sure they’ve been very fluid either because of the presence of a millennia old landed aristocracy. Within those class boundaries historically most people have identified themselves with the prevailing norms of their group.
The tv and much more the internet is confounding that to some extent tho - the market of possible influences on a person has to some degree been democratised
England’s 1,000 years of broadly fixed culture and beliefs means something. Like it or not, blood, faith and beliefs bind humans. Try asking an Arab how he feels about his land and argue with him that he needs to share it with the world…or better still a Palestinian?
@@minui8758 This is how Herodotus records the Athenians promising total support to their Spartan brothers in the fight against the Persian invaders: “(We give you) the kinship of all Greeks in blood and speech, and the shrines of gods and the sacrifices that we have in common, and the likeness of our way of life, to all which it would ill beseem Athenians to be false.”
We can debate whether this represents fully-fledged modern-style nationalism. Even if it doesn’t, it shows that the ethnocultural solidarities which make such nationalism thinkable were already around 2500 years ago. The Athenians felt a kinship with the Spartans which they didn’t feel with the Achaemenid Persians, and they were prepared to fight and die for it.
A lot of the comments here reek of smug centrist bourgeois superciliousness. Ableism and classism is rife, i.e. "they're are all poor thickos". What is enabling the far-right in this country is the relentless, grinding and every worsening poverty and the absolute refusal of the generations-old neoliberal political hegemony to do anything about it, all cheered on by their media courtiers like this channel. All the far right do and why Reform has become so popular, is it gives them (false) hope and a scapegoat to hate. This is exactly was Mosely did. You are not going to hand wring or legislate your way out of this and return to your cosseted middle England bubble, without addressing the core problem. If the tories and Labour carry on as they are, Farage will not enable another Labour victory by splitting the tory vote, he will win. Yes, the solution is not hard. Tax the rich until the pips squeak and invest in public services and real social houses. Not cheap starter homes for you to buy for your kids.
well said
you do realise most of the reform partys MP's are tax dodgers Nigal and Richard Tice for sure. If you think they will do anything for the working class if they ever got into power. I have a bridge to sell you.
They will just grift and pass laws to help there rich benifactors.
Farage caused Brexit that is one of the main factors in why Poverty has got so much worse in the last years.
He also apposed all Laws legislation that EU brought in in the last decaids to stop the rich TAX dodgers.
Even the Reform Party is a grift. Its not a Political party but a Company. enebling him to take much more money out of it into his pocket

Tommy Robinson isn't actually the issue.
The real issue is that the UK print media and mass media in general is fully foreign-owned and often by hostile State-actors, is fully and wholly dedicated to extreme Far-Right anarcho-capitalism, is literally powerful enough to be the "sole" determinant in the UK's choice of government & PM and above all is entirely beyond the writ of the UK State.
Musk has a long game, which we can be sure is about his personal influence and power. Unfortunately, he's neither bright enough nor stable enough to hold either, as we can see from current results. Worrying.
In Tommy Robinson 's case -the first thing would be trace "where his money is coming from" - ascertain who exactly is it and examine their political intentions - agenda etc .see Private Eye .

The guy from “Hope not hate” that used to be high up in the BNP hasn’t had a conversion of opinion, he is attracted to political extremes and “Hope not hate” is a political extreme. It’s the extreme position that drew him in like a moth to a flame.
This point about attraction to extremes was made very well by the recently late Martin Amis.
Just call Tommy Ten Names by his legal name
This possible is the best analysis of Stephen Yaxley Lennon I've ever seen, very enlightening.....
Farage was given a massive platform by the bbc . 42 appearances on question time
Their is a group of over a certain age men that dress up im strange clothing called the Knights Templar, a very strange cult.
Social cohesion by clamping down on dissent? What could go wrong?
The yax’s mum came over from Ireland. Almost like she is an im……..
Not from Africa or Pakistan, a country created because of the failure of multi culturalism in India.
This channel should have 1m subscribers minimum and this video in particular ought to be seen by everyone in the UK
I know 68k is totally mad, UA-cam is clearly not pushing this the way it pushes the far right commentators who are totally polluting my fyp....
Big up Lewis - well done
Regulate social media.
Omg. Taking her children along. So sad
Who do we have the most in common with?
The people who we are told to hate
or
The people who are telling us to hate those people?
Surely for balance there's a Far Left???????
Thank you for that interview. Was interesting to see as you don't hear from the LGBT side of the far right who came out the other side very often.
How dear you tell lies like this omg 😅hope not hate same people that said there was an acid attack on Muslim women when there was no such thing that happened during these riots that is stoking up the violence is it? Is that the same? Hope not hate
Any time TR is linked to the 'far-right' hate not hope is in the background.
Could anyone be more detached from normal British people as Emily Maitlis?
Yep your boy Stephen Yaxley Lennon, Irish citizen living in Cyprus/ Spain....Bankrolled by Israel.
The Conservative Party?
EDL & JDL are working in tandem
There is no EDL no more it ended in 2013.
Very very Informative, thank you The News agents, this video needs to go far and wide, perhaps Far Left, Far up, Far down and dare I say, Far Right, be proud of yourselves The News agents, Civility and integration needs you all...
??
I think we need to stop using the term far left. It doesn't mean what it traditionally mean anymore when it was still applicable. Note that the far left authoritarian revolutionary militias marching around mountains and jungles with ak-47s hasn't been around in 40-50 years. Which all by never existed in that form in the UK anyway.
Look at China and Vietnam for example, not the happiest places on earth, but they're even more capitalist than the west now!
Our "far left" today waves picket signs for peace, pay raises, less government over reach into individual personal life, and minimizing corporate influence over government and economy, housing etc. There's nothing "far" about any of that, it's stuff that affects everyone everyday.
Tories lurched further to the right as has labour under Starmer
But I need to make it clear that this was an excellent piece of journalism from Lewis and I was very impressed with the guests.
The progressive left let the evil genie out of the bottle of identitarianism. The chattering class virtue signalling has got us here. What happened to merit what happened to traditional classic liberalism?
Great interview
BRILLIANT
I wish journalists would tell the truth about why they call groups of people far right, lets have discussions about the worrying influence of the NUJ.
I just popped in for a packet of mints and a Women's Weekly, but the talk was so interesting that I stayed. Thanks
Lol
🤣
This is one frigging important video, and its message needs to be spread far and wide. Well done.
Three children killed, a soldier stabbed outside his home. Why aren't you talking about that.
Those were criminals, a religion of a billion people is not responsible.....
This guy might not know it but it sounds like he still idolises deep down that T Robinson is great - in particular his reasoning on the force Robinson has as a player in the uk - always follow the money
The Far Right is an extremely contentious name for the disappointed and bitter British Working Class that has lost its dignity and feels displaced in their own county. On the whole they are ex Labour Party members that feel let down. Robinson is a modern day Watt Tyler. He is of the people and they relate to him. He says what they feel. He is a rough diamond and far from perfect but he has a certain charisma. Sir Keith Starmer should start listening to the British Working Class and stop demonising them by referring them as the Far Right! This is like a red rag to a bull! I should not have to be writing this but I hate to see my country which I love tearing itself apart.
Please do not use the word ‘British’. There have been no riots in Scotland or Wales.
I'm white and working class. I don't feel the need to blame everything on brown people. Quite simply, the working class are a victim of torys they voted for. And those torys have pushed the blame for their failure on immigrants.
Wat Tyler gave his life for his cause. Lennon wouldn't give the snot off his nose. Wat Tyler was poor. Lennon is a millionaire.
Listening to these two I can’t think of any worse examples to understand the northern working class white community
Might have got your spelling wrong in the title.
« if you talk to these people « , says the London centric poshy
They don't want to be detained in the hotels. They want to have their claims processed.
"Send them home!" is pretty scummy.
That women says in that rant that they want benefits and handouts, and then complains they're taking 'all our jobs', when she is probably on benefits herself and the university educated and skilled workers seeking asylum aren't take her job.
Probably thinks they are taking extra benefit money she thinks she should be getting not realising that the refugees waiting to get processed don't get benefits as they are not entitled.
They think what they are told. They don’t look rationally at all sides. Once the seed is planted it needs to be fed and the Tommy Robinson’s and Avi Yemeni’s of this world are masters at what they do. They are millionaires and people keep donating money and they keep asking. It’s embarrassing.
Everyone just needs a big hug and a solid cry don't they
I'm sorry for this propaganda Tommy Robinson is not far right..💯🇯🇲🇬🇧👍
You are mentally ill mate
