Welcome to Intelligence Squared, where great minds meet. I'm producer Mia Sorenti. What is happening behind closed doors in Britain's far-right movement? On today's episode, we're joined by journalist Harry Schuckman, who spent over a year undercover investigating the British far right, drawing on his new book, Year of the Rap, Schuckman sheds light on the secret meetings, pub gatherings, political canvassing and neo Nazi conferences at the heart of the extreme right wing in Britain.
Through his investigations, Shuckman has effectively exposed the mechanics of how far right ideologies, from eugenics to Holocaust denial, are being normalized across the country, often with surprising allies in big tech, government, and the mainstream media. Joining him to discuss the book is author and researcher Carl Miller. So let's join Carl now. with more. Hello everyone and uh welcome to this episode of Intelligence Squared with me, Carl Miller.
