In the 45th episode of This Time Tomorrow, Omri and Benni (Daniela was still in Budapest, busy witnessing the unfolding of Hungarian democratic history and all that glorious spiel!) welcome researcher and think-tank director Steven Lacey to unpack the British far-right’s eight distinct factions, from hard-pressed workers to conspiracy theorists and ethno-nationalists. Lacey, who once fell under the spell of Russian propaganda, shares insights into how economic anxiety, cultural nostalgia, and distrust in institutions manifest within these groups. We also explore strategies to counter their rise, emphasising community-building, media literacy, and addressing the root causes of alienation. Listen now for a fun, occasionally raucous, and always nuanced look at the far-right’s fragmented landscape and how to challenge its appeal.
