Nigel Farage and the Far-Right Are Now the Biggest National Security Threat to the UK

It's time the Government woke up to the growing threat posed by the forces of hate seeking to incite violence on our streets

Since Nigel Farage called for “pure cold rage” in response to Henry Nowak’s murder, we have seen Nazis riot in Southampton and an actual racist pogrom on the streets of Belfast.

As I wrote for Byline Times today, none of this should surprise us.

The global far-right have spent the past two years desperately trying to incite violence on the streets of Britain.

Now they’re finally getting what they’ve fought for.

Yet while both the Government and opposition today condemned the violence, and insisted that it will “not be tolerated”, neither of them appear to be doing anything to actually stop it from spreading further.

Asked by this newsletter whether the Prime Minister plans to take any action against Elon Musk or his X platform, for helping to incite the violence, his spokesman was unable to point to any plans to do so.

Asked again whether the PM even plans to stop posting on X himself, his spokesman told me that there were “no changes” to the Government’s existing social media policy.

So what’s really going on here and why does the Government appear so unwilling to actually act against those seeking to literally set our communities on fire?
