Radio 43 | Episode 19 | Intelligence Report | Another Attack On Democracy

HOPE not hate

Roxana and Nick discuss the murder of David Amess, a killing that will be remembered as another example of violence being used to harm our democratic freedoms. The far right responded gleefully to the killing, instantly spotting an opportunity to weaponize it against minorities. In reality the far right only cares for nurturing their own hatred, as their responses in the wake of the murder of Jo Cox also demonstrated.
Despite this solemn episode, Roxy and Nick also find time to confront the falling star of Stephen Yaxley Lennon, a man who it is difficult to imagine was once a rising talent. With his life in disarray, and now with an embarrassing stalking ban to his name, Stephen Lennon could be seen ranting his new line in conspiracy theories to a bemused crowd of xenophobes in Dresden.
