The Liverpool Parade and why white nationalism is on the prowl
Manage episode 485527143 series 3465230
In a recent survey, supporters of Nigel Farage ranked ‘being English’ ahead of ‘being a parent’ as a signifier of who they are.
How has it come to this? Even as the dissatisfaction with Brexit grows, Farage who drove so much of the vote by playing on the most irrational fears, is England's most popular politician.
On Free State today, Joe and Dion look at the rise of English nationalism and what it means for the rest of Britain, as well as Ireland.
They look at the frenzy within minutes of the Liverpool Parade crash to find the identity of the suspect, but only if it fitted with their existing prejudices.
They identify how nationalism always ends in an assertion of supremacy.
While Joe has some good things to say about Fintan O’Toole and Dion offers a solution to the Celtic Soul Brothers.
