HOPE not hate

The episodes are coming thick and fast at the moment, and here we are back again with another Radio 43.
On Monday, the first asylum seekers arrived at the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset. The plan has gone ahead despite the Fire Brigades Union (FBU) condemning the boat as a “potential deathtrap” due to serious fire safety concerns. Across the country, tensions are rising as the Government continues to place asylum seekers in hotels, barges and barracks, and the far right try to use it to their advantage
On the show this week (which is something of a follow-up to last week), HOPE not hate’s Anki Deo and Misbah Malik make their debuts, talking Nick through the last few months of community responses to far right, anti-migrant demonstrations.
In doing so, they share lessons that we can take away about how communities have come together in various ways to see off the far right threat, and they let our listeners know about the ways in which HOPE not hate can help them respond effectively.
Big thank you to Misbah and Anki for coming on the podcast.
And thanks to you for listening!
P.S. This episode was recorded before Lee Anderson MP’s vile comments, which we otherwise would have discussed.
