This is an excerpt from a patrons episode. to hear the full thing and dozens more, visit Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod and become a patron from £3 per month.In this patrons-only episode we welcome writer and anti-fascist activist Joe Mulhall to the show to discuss his fantastic book Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance, a survey across time and place of groups and cultures using musics as part of their resistance to forms of racism and imperialism. We hear about Irish rebel songs, Kneecap and an impromptu Irish history quiz in the toilets of a Wolftones gig; the role of Jazz, Blues and Soul in the Civil Rights Struggle; revisit Tropicalia with fresh eyes and ears; and fly to Nigeria to visit the Felabration in Lagos. Alongside these topics we consider how our personal tastes can divert from a music's political power, US cultural hegemony, music in the USSR, 'bone records', Two Tone, and bring things up to date with a trip to the trenches of Ukraine. We won't provide an order link here, but you can get the hardback of Rebel Sounds in your local bookshop, and the paperback is forthcoming in the Autumn. Thanks to Joe for joining us.

Trump is upending the world once again. We go on a whistlestop tour of tariffs, woke and the far-right in our latest show.  First up, trade policy expert Dmitry Grozoubinski joins Andrew Harrison to explain why chaos is inevitable, following the new tariffs. Then into the main bulk of the episode, dinner time's over for the tofu-eating wokerati… apparently. Some say the dawn of the post-woke world is upon us, but is it really? And what does that even mean? Also, what's the state of hate in the UK? Luckily, Hope Not Hate has compiled a 140-page report detailing precisely that – and their Director of Research, Joe Mulhall, joins us in the studio to get into what's in it. And in the Extra Bit for subscribers, after more than two centuries WH Smith leaves the high street. Is anyone surprised? But is the high street really dying or is it just changing?

Take a break from hearing about Elon Musk's pernicious influence in U.S. politics to learn about Elon Musk's pernicious influence in U.K. politics. Annie Kelly brings us an update on the state of the far right across the pond. Specifically, we learn about political party Reform UK, and its relationship to the UK's two most prominent far-right figures. Those figures are: Nigel Farage - Mr Brexit himself and Reform's leader, and Tommy Robinson, the perpetually re-imprisoned anti-Islamic agitator. Elon Musk spent weeks on X boosting the views of Tommy Robinson. This has caused some consternation for Farage, who has tried to distance himself from Robinson's explicit ethnonationalism.

Tommy Robinson lied. HOPE not hate set out to prove it, and we did. In this special episode of the podcast, HNH's CEO, Nick Lowles, and Director of Research, Dr Joe Mulhall, sit down to discuss the story of the long battle to prove that Robinson broke a legal injunction that means he now faces prison.When you've finished the episode, check out the long-read here.--♪ Alone (Prod. by Lukrembo) Link : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLXLhOyo-2w&t=0s

This week we have a chat with Joe Mulhall from Hope Not Hate about the recent anti-migrant riots in the UK, as well as the anti-racist counter-protests.

• OGWN Live in Hove, Weds 9 Oct. Tickets here. • OGWN Live in Liverpool, Mon 23 Sept. Tickets here. Following the horrific knife attack in Southport that left three young girls dead, England has seen a mass of violence sweeping the country. That violence has been spurred on by misinformation allowed to spread like wildfire across social media. Hope Not Hate's Director of Research, Joe Mulhall, joins the panel to discuss what's happening, why, and how it can be stopped. Plus, Should we call out politicians more for not sticking to their plan?

After the hideous attack in Southport, the far right spread misinformation and rioted.

A judge has made the "exceptional" decision to name the 17-year-old suspect charged with the murder of three girls in the Southport stabbing attack, in an attempt to prevent further misinformation about him being spreading online.     Reporting restrictions around the identification of a minor left an information vacuum into which disinformation spread, fuelling violence in towns across the country in recent days.   On the Sky News Daily, Liz Bates speaks to our data and forensics correspondent Tom Cheshire to explore how disinformation is spread online and Joe Mulhall from Hope Not Hate explains the challenges of tackling the far-right ideology when it's not identified with a specific group.  Producer: Tom Pooley  Editor: Philly Beaumont    Promotion producer: David Chipakupaku

Have you ever loved a record so much that you would die for it? Plenty of people have.And in this episode, author Joe Mulhall explores Music as Resistance. From songs made for the purpose of opposition to recognising that simply listening to certain tracks can be an illegal act, this conversation takes us to war zones, uprisings and movements –where music binds them together.https://www.theguardian.com/profile/joe-mulhallhttps://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/drums-in-the-distance-journeys-into-the-global-far-right-joe-mulhall/5768410?ean=9781785787515https://twitter.com/JoeMulhall_

This week we have a chat with Joe Mulhall, Director of Research at Hope Not Hate, about his book Drums In The Distance.

“Unacceptable” Opinions Have you ever felt that you can't say what you really think, that your honest opinions have become somehow unacceptable? It's a common complaint that freedom of speech is being restricted, that more and more views have become inadmissible or rejected as intolerable. On social media, people expressing thoughts that would have hardly raised an eyebrow a generation ago, are viciously attacked and branded as bigots. If that is a problem - and opinions differ - the government may be about to make it worse. Its Online Safety Bill, going through Parliament just now, is aimed at making the UK the safest place in the world to go online, but there are concerns that it could involve more censorship and less freedom. It is surely good to have a diverse range of views openly and freely expressed in public, important for democracy for honest discourse and a sure sign of true freedom of speech. But others feel that cleaning up the public space of unsavoury, prejudiced and hateful views makes for a more civilised society. It creates safer, more respectful places for everyone. Offensive comments that were shamelessly expressed in the past about, for example black, gay or trans people are rarer now. Is this evidence that modern values like equality are being widely embraced, or a sign that people feel muzzled and their views, far from going away, are festering into conspiracy theories, extremism and even the threat of violence? Does it matter if the range of views we can express becomes narrower? With Eric Heinze, James Bloodworth, Joe Mulhall and Jeevun Sandher. Producers: Jonathan Hallewell and Peter Everett Presenter: Michael Buerk

State of HATE 2022 – the leading annual report outlining the key trends and changes in the domestic and international far right – shows how the past year has led to an environment in which we will likely see the return of far right activists back on the streets, standing in elections and exploiting the uncertainties created by economic hardship. To discuss the report's findings and to take questions from the audience, HOPE not hate's Head of Research, Dr Joe Mulhall, and researcher Patrik Hermansson are joined by Nadia Witthome MP. On hosting duties is Nick Spooner. Thanks to everyone who attended and put questions to the panelists. Download a FREE copy of State of Hate 2022 here: https://hopenothate.org.uk/2022/03/09...

This week we are joined by Joe Mulhall, director of research at Hope not Hate, to discuss the intricies of anti-fascist research, Hope not hate's relationship to the wider anti-fascist movement, the nature of the global far right, the ethics of calling for prosciption of nazi groups and more!

In the run up to the 2016 Trump election, Joe Mulhall of Surrey, England managed to convince the American white supremacist terrorist group, the Ku Klux Klan, of his support for them. Shortly afterwards he found himself armed and accompanying an Alabaman militia group on the hunt for undocumented migrants and ISIS members on the Mexican border. Mulhall works for Hope Not Hate, an advocacy group that campaigns against racism and fascism. His book, Drums in the Distance: Journeys Into the Global Far Right is out now and documents his decade as an anti-fascist infiltrator.

Nick Spooner is joined by Joe Mulhall to discuss the wide range of goings on in the far right; nazi trials, migrant refuge invasions, and conspiracy theorist platforms, as well as other rumblings that are worth noting for antifascists everywhere.Unfortunately, there have been a few moments in the past week where mainstream political actors have also crossed the line into overt racism, Nick and Joe discuss Michael Fabricant's disgraceful comment, the vile antisemitic incident in Golders Green, and the publication of anti-traveler hate in an otherwise respectable newspaper.Lockdown may have come and gone, but the tide of racist outpourings has continued throughout.Share this episode so that we can build the politics of HOPE against hate.Roxana is away on regular leave and will return shortly.Please email producer jake@hopenothate.org.uk with tips and questions for the team.

This week we have a yarn with Dr Joe Mulhall from Hope Not Hate about their recent State of Hate report and other goings-ons in the far-Right space.

This week saw the launch of 'State of Hate: Far-Right Extremism in Europe' - a colossal report which explores the state of far-right extremism across Europe. Joe Mulhall, Senior Researcher at HOPE not hate, Simone Rafael of Amadeu Antonio Foundation in Germany and Daniel Poohl of EXPO in Sweden all met with HOPE not hate's Activism and Operations Officer, Afrida Chowdhury, to discuss what the new report -- made with help of antifascists across Europe -- tells us about the start of extremism in 2021.Read the report here:https://www.hopenothate.org.uk/research/state-of-hate-reports/state-of-hate-europe2021/

Holocaust denial continues it's ugly transmission, adapting even during an unprecedented health emergency.Joe Mulhall spoke to the Council of Christians and Jews on the subject of the mutating shape of Holocaust denial today.

Campaigns and Operations Officer Afrida was joined by Joe Mulhall, Nick Lowles and Matthew McGregor to discuss the deep roots of yesterday's attack on American democracy.

Vicki and Geraldine talk to Joe Mulhall of 'Hope Not Hate' about the threat of the far-right online.Talking points:- are different types of platform are facilitating hate speech in different ways?- are there limits to free speech?- is it reasonable to expect platforms to design out hate, given the needs of the online attention economy?- how should the government regulate, and who else needs to be involved?

How did a US-based conspiracy about Donald Trump gain followers in Scotland and the UK? BBC Trending editor Mike Wendling and Hope Not Hate researcher Dr. Joe Mulhall join Lucy and Phil to discuss how QAnon exploded online. Why is it starting to make appearances across the UK and Europe, from online groups to anti-mask protests outside of Holyrood? The team talk about the origins of QAnon, it's appeal to certain people, what we can learn from the USA, and the potentially dangerous consequences of letting the conspiracy grow this side of the Atlantic.

The false QAnon conspiracy theory features aspects of ancient antisemitic narratives, its rise and spread across the globe has also seen its transformation into ever more virulent, localised forms. This should be alarming to antifascists everywhere.A major new piece of research from Gregory Davis and David Lawrence is discussed and read here by Joe Mulhall.

Journalist, Author and Playwright Paul Mason spoke with Joe Mulhall about the recent prosecution of the Greek Neo-Nazi Party, their sudden rise, and what the significance of the verdict means for antifascists combatting resurgent fascism internationally.

Joe Mulhall dives back into the HOPE not hate archive for the second in our new series, this time reading new work from Simon Murdoch looking at the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism, an important part of our movement. Simon investigates if the arguments between anti-racists and antifascists could better be resolved through a mutual understanding against the common enemy.

This compelling round table between three leading writers (including Hope not Hate's Joe Mulhall) is a useful insight into the origins and continued importance of race science.With many thanks to the Wiener Library for allowing us to reproduce the recording here.

In this first episode of a new series where we look at objects in the HOPE not hate archive, Joe Mulhall discusses one of the oldest publications we keep. The Hidden Hand was the newspaper of The Britons, a small, antisemitic group, that flogged it's shabby wares in the violently tumultuous interwar period.Although marginal, with a small print run, the personalities around The Britons became some of the most influential propagators of antisemitic conspiracy theory in the UK, throughout the 20th century. They were one of the only British nationalist groups to ally with a tiny German party - the German National Socialists, long before the latter had risen to power.This is the story of how even the most fringe ideas must not be ignored, else their poison spread.

Joe Mulhall discusses the new report from Gregory Davis on the many failings of Bitchute. Bitchute is a video content platform that has hosted to terror videos from groups such as ISIS and National Action, as well as gaining huge numbers on conspiracy theory videos during the recent crisis.

HOPE not hate's Joe Mulhall spoke with the authors of Reactionary Democracies. Aurelien Mondon and Aaron Winter's new book which challenges the idea that liberal democracy provides a consistent bulwark against racism. Arguing that popular notions of 'the people' justify the exclusion of others and the normalisation of racist ideas, the authors point to mainstream racism, islamophobia and anti-migrant sentiment coming from across the spectrum of mainstream politics as examples of how the threat is not just on the fringe, but often within the mainstream.Aurelien and Aaron's ideas present a timely challenge to antifascists today. https://www.versobooks.com/books/3173-reactionary-democracy

Afrida pitched questions to Joe as a part of the Great Get Together, taken from Afrida, and the audience. This was the first of our live webinars.

HOPE not hate's Joe Mulhall and Patrik Hermansson discuss the circumstances that lead to the publication to their new book 'The International Alt-Right: Fascism for the 21st Century?'. The work of researchers Simon Murdoch, David Lawrence, Hermansson and Mulhall contributed to an important new collection that assesses the Alt-Right from a range of angles, all of which have been informed by a combination of infiltration and open research.Get the book here: https://amzn.to/2wW3y0t

Our planet is warming, our seas are rising, and while the human cost of this will be massive, the human cause of it is undeniable. Or at least, it should be. Rising sea levels and the desertification of already dry areas could see millions across our world being displaced. The climate crisis is a massive threat to quality of life, but for some people, it's also an opportunity. Across Europe, the 2015 migrant crisis destabilized civil society, leading to the rise of the AfD in Germany, the Lega party in Italy, and allowed Viktor Orban to whip up anti-migrant rhetoric in Hungary. These conditions are a petri dish for conspiracy theorists, politicians, corporate interests, and especially, a boon for the rhetoric of extreme anti-migration factions pushing online disinformation.This event is moderated by Data & Society founder danah boyd.Recorded on December 4, 2019.About the SpeakerDr. Joe Mulhall is Senior Researcher at HOPE not hate, the UK's largest anti-fascism and anti-racism organisation. He is a historian of postwar and contemporary fascism and completed his PhD at Royal Holloway, University of London. He sits on the Board of the UK Government funded Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. He has published extensively, both academically and journalistically, and appears regularly in the international news media and gives talks around the world about his research. He has two forthcoming academic books with Routledge in 2020 including The Alt-Right: Fascism for the 21st Century.For more information, visit datasociety.net.

Senior Researcher Joe Mulhall interviews long term friend of HOPE not hate, and prominent scholar of the far right, Cas Mudde about his new book The Far Right Today. Mudde argues that we have entered a new 'wave' of far right development that can be seen across the world in the increased presence of far right ideas and parties in the mainstream of democratic countries.Joe and Cas discuss the developments in the far right today, what drives them, and what can be done to address them. Mudde makes the explicit call to the mainstream right that they need to consider the limits of what and who they are willing to work with.

In a new essay commissioned by the Government's Commission for Countering Extremism, HOPE not hate's senior research Dr. Joe Mulhall argued that there is a new threat from the far right - the fact that they have modernised and moved into the mainstream. His essay is a must-read for antifascists who want to understand the changing nature of the threat posed by the far right. In this episode, Joe and Matthew McGregor chatted about some of the key themes in the piece.

Joe Mulhall and Matthew McGregor discuss new polling HOPE not hate commissioned from YouGov into Conservative party members attitudes towards Muslims. The results were shocking, but perhaps not surprising in that they reflect an older, overwhelmingly white, and middle class base in a society where Islamophobia is widespread. Gordon Brown makes a cameo appearance from an interview we recorded just after his recent speech on the rise of the far right.

Joe Mulhall sits down with David Renton to discuss the subject of David's new book, the rise of a far right that is becoming increasingly detached from fascism. The two discuss the contemporary history of Donald Trump, Nigel Farage, and Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) as well as exploring the possibilities for antifascists to confront this new radical right threat. David’s aim, in this book, was to describe how the far right and fascism could grow further and closer over time, and outlined some of the aims for the antifascist movement in a period where we may often be confronting people without any direct links to fascism, but who nonetheless advance a similar, divisive agenda.

In episode 56 of sh!tpost, host Jared Holt is joined by journalist Judd Legum, host of the podcasts Popular Info newsletter. Judd did some stellar reporting on the financial apparatus supporting 8Chan. They talk about rising extremism in America and what that means going forward. Later we’re joined by Hope Not Hate senior researcher Joe Mulhall for an update on U.K. far-right politics.

In commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Spanish Civil War Joe Mulhall interviewed the eminent historian Paul Preston to discuss the causes and the course of the civil war. They touch upon the war vs revolution debate (including Orwell's true opinion of the POUM tactics), the real origins of Picasso's painting Guernica, and the gains made by the republic.This is a part of a series of antifascist history podcasts which began with an earlier interview with David Renton about his research into the Anti-Nazi League.

Joe Mulhall sits down with Dave Renton to discuss the subject of Dave's new book- the conflict between the left and Far Right in the 1970s. Dave takes us across some of the key historical events that led to the colossal electoral defeat of the National Front in 1979, and how Rock Against Racism and the Anti Nazi League were able to play a part in the NF's downfall. Joe and Dave consider the implications of a revival of the ANL, as had been discussed in 2018, and give warnings for the new threat of a Far Right that is post-organisational, and no longer tied to the symbolism of 20th century fascism.

We interrupt regular podcasting to discuss the hilarious and tragic leaks that HOPE not hate received over the weekend. Emails, messages and other evidence that Milo Yiannopoulos is outspending his earning powers and teetering on the brink of an embarrassing bankruptcy. Milo owes $20,000 to employees, and well over a million dollars to his own company, and has been forced to return his own Cartier wedding ring to settle a debt at the Jewelers. While it is a good time of year to revel in some heartwarming schadenfreude, the scale of Milo's earnings gives cause for concern, even if hubris has proved his personal undoing. Matthew McGregor and Joe Mulhall discuss the massive earnings and the ongoing fall of Milo, a far-right celebrity that is dangerously in debt.

This long read, written and recited by HnH senior researcher Joe Mulhall, describes the 200,000 strong march to celebrate the 100th year of independence in Poland (on November 12th 2018) which has become a rallying point for nationalists across the world. Marching alongside ordinary Poles were extreme neo-nazis, far-right flags from Forza Nuova and Generation Identity, as well as the leadership of the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) who helped facilitate the parade on behalf of fascist groups. Joe considers how this public display of nationalist unity represents the mainstreaming of extreme far-right views in Poland, and beyond.

The fascist paradox with Paolo Berizzi, Joe Mulhall Neofascist groups are popular on social media and enjoy media exposure. In Italy, they are invited to tv talk shows, have their own fashion brand, and are even allowed to patrol beaches and streets in vigilante-style groups. Despite this, their typical rhetoric claims that the “liberal media” conspire to silence them; in a striking paradox, fascist groups appeal to freedom of speech and liberal democracy in order to express their “ideas”. In this panel discussion, two leading experts discuss their work researching racist and hate groups in Italy and UK, and the latest evolutions of far-right movements. Speakers: Paolo Berizzi is a journalist for Italian national newspaper La Repubblica. His book NazItalia. Viaggio in un paese che si è riscoperto fascista (2018) is a journey through Italy’s neofascist groups, their organisations and their ties with mainstream politics. Joe Mulhall is a senior researcher at anti-racism and anti-fascist organisation Hope not Hate, where he monitors far-right and hate groups. He runs Hope not Hate’s anti-Muslim monitoring unit and sits on the board of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust. Chair: Angelo Boccato is a London-based journalist. Courtesy of http://fill.org.uk

We join Joe, Safya, and Matthew for a chat about the party conferences that they have all looked at in recent days, and the warm, white wine and white supremacy that greeted many of their attendees. Katie Hopkins recently addressed the For Britain conference alongside Ingrid Carlqvist, a known Holocaust denier. Safya assesses Katie's slow sink into the murky depths of the far right. Joe talks about UKIP becoming a home for the far right, including a crowd of extremist gamers with bizzaro names such as 'Sargon of Akkad' and 'Count Dankula', following the resignation of their MEP Lord Dartmouth over homophobia and Islamophobia. Finally, Matthew talks about the Labour party conference, the fantastic meeting held by HOPE not hate’s Rosie Carter there, and HOPE not hate's new campaign - 'We Want the Final Say' which seeks a referendum on the final deal for the Brexit negotiations. The three discuss all this plus Tommy Robinson and more, in a great roundtable chat.

A pre-TUC conference special, Dr Joe Mulhall interviews the TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady on the threat to working people from the far-right and what the trade union movement should do in response to the resurgent threat.

The Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, August 12, 2017, was a defining moment for the alt-right, but not in the way the racist movement had hoped. A long read written by the Right Response team, read by Dr. Joe Mulhall

Ever feel like politics could be different? Join comedian Gráinne Maguire and journalist Marie Le Conte as they work out how we can all get more involved. This isn't just a podcast, it's Changing Politics.This week we focus on the rise of the Far Right. If it doesn't scare you, it should. We spoke to Shabana Mahmood, MP for Birmingham Ladywood, and Joe Mulhall from campaign group Hope Not Hate, about how big the problem is, and what we can do to help stop it. We also asked both of them about the implications for free speech of no-platforming these kinds of views.Marie and Gráinne's roundup of the week's news includes the fallout from Boris Johnson's boring resignation speech; why we can't take Andrea Jenkyns seriously; and what the hell is going on with the infinite series of votes in Parliament that, Marie reveals, has even confused some MPs. And Gráinne makes a joke about small business that makes Marie spit out her drink. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dan and Joanne talk with Max Blumenthal about the history of the national security state and the ruling elite using radical and extremist groups as proxies both abroad and at home. We discuss the Syrian “rebels”, neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine  and we also talk about Charlottesville and how we got here.
