Getting It Right On The Far Right

Riots and disorder on a scale Britain hadn’t seen in a decade, but then the streets re-taken by anti-racist crowds - what to make of what happened after the Southport stabbings?

Phil and Roger look at the evidence with Aurelien Mondon of Bath University and the Reactionary Politics Research Network.
