Who Are the Far Right? Protest, Labels & Free Speech Row
Who are the “far right” and who gets to define it? After thousands gathered in London for an anti-far-right march, we examine how the term is being used in modern Britain, and whether it’s becoming a political label rather than a clear definition. Former Number 10 adviser Oscar Reddrop joins to break down how governments and the media classify extremism, while Montgomery Toms from Freedom Watch GB gives a first-hand account from the March Against the Far Right, and challenges the narrative around who was really there and what it represents. Plus, we bring in a left-wing caller to test the arguments live, as we debate free speech, protest politics, and the growing divide over extremism in the UK. Hosted on Acast.
