The neo-Nazi group White Vanguard has suffered a major split. A series of calamitous errors has cost the group half its membership, forced a change in leadership and left its future uncertain. In this episode of Radio 43, HOPE not Hate's podcast, we talk about the origins of White Vanguard and why they've, predictably, found themselves in turmoil.

‘Young Bob’ is one of the young rising stars in Britain’s far-right scene.

As well as having gained over 100,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), he is an ambassador for Turning Point UK (an offshoot of the far-right American organisation), an associate of the serial criminal and anti-Muslim extremist Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson), and - in a sign of the increasing acceptance of far-right views in the media - a regular guest on TalkTV.

But the scene Young Bob is involved in doesn’t seem like a happy ship. Earlier this year, an undercover HOPE not hate reporter found out his real views of those he works with…

Last month, HOPE not hate (HNH) exposed a new research unit collecting information on its perceived enemies. In this episode of Radio 43, we reveal some shocking information about the leading figures in this group and some of their disturbing online behaviour.

The far right have long framed hate as “protecting the community”. The spate of anti-migrant protests that commenced this summer is no exception, with organisers exploiting local safety concerns through racist scapegoating. Chants of “Save our kids” mingle with “Tell the nation, remigration” and “Send them home”.

In this episode of Radio 43, we look at four of these groups: The East Belfast Nightwatch First Division, Safeguard Force, Aberdeen Against Illegal Migration and The Shield.

UKIP leader Nick Tenconi is treating Britain’s anti-migrant protests as his own personal roadshow. Like a far-right whackamole, he has popped up at locations across the country, taking advantage of fired-up protesters to preach hate “in the name of God”.

But, in reality, he hosts exceptionally extreme plans which promoted the deportation of one in seven of the UK population. Furthermore, he has a history of vile social media posts which objectify women

As Tenconi seems to have become the speaker of choice for anti-migrant protests, you’ve got to wonder: do the locals know exactly who they are cheering for?

In late June, the shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick took the stand at a conference. Addressing the crowd of Tories and radical-right political figures, he made an unusual statement. “I am what can be described as an Anglofuturist.” he said. His statement was applauded. But what did he actually mean?

The movement's aims are much darker than they appear at first glance. Behind the gimmicky images of spaceships named after famous Victorians is a group of people pushing, at the very least for mass deportations, and, at worst, a whites-only nation. Anglofuturism is a gloss over disturbingly extreme ideas.

Reform UK national director Adam Bounds tried to recruit members to a "physical resistance group" for "gorillas by night tactics" and promoted far-right and conspiracy theory content.

HOPE not hate has identified a now-deleted account on the messaging app Telegram as having belonged to Reform UK’s Adam Bounds.

After last year’s general election, Nigel Farage promised that “those ‘bad apples’ that have crept in will be gone”.

But Bounds is yet another so-called “bad apple” having worked for Farage’s party since the election.

Ahead of the release of his latest book, How to Defeat the Far Right, HOPE not hate CEO Nick Lowles sat down in London for a conversation with award-winning journalist Ros Wynne-Jones.

He talks about his 'origin story' and how he got involved with anti-racism and anti-fascism activism, through to the radicalisation of a young man during covid and just how the HOPE not Hate team identified one of the instigators of the 2025 Southport Riots.

He finishes off the chat by explaining why using a helicopter might not be the best way to reach communities.
