My latest book is Rebel Sounds: Music as Resistance. It's a social history of the twentieth century but one that takes in the human impulse to create, share and enjoy the one thing that connects cultures and spans generations: music. It's out in America next week! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/rebe... (2)
So Matthew Goodwin is Reform's candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election. I wrote this last year about how there is nothing he won’t say if he thinks it will get him more views and paying Substack subscribers. He’s an opportunist extremist. hopenothate.org.uk/state-of-hat...

While Farage was clearly tricked into recording a tribute to the infamous pedophile Ian Watkins on Cameo, it does go to show that this man will say literally anything for money. It makes you wonder what he's saying on behalf of his funders and employers when real money is involved.

So Piers Morgan plays clips of Nick Fuentes saying he likes Hitler, is overtly racist, questions the Holocaust etc etc and yet STILL calls him a 'prominent conservative.' This is normalisation in action.

The Piers Morgan interview with Nick Fuentes is a great example of why interviewing fascists to get views is idiotic/irresponsible. Absolutely nothing new in it. Fuentes had said it all before on his own show. Morgan has merely raised Fuentes' profile and introduced him to new audiences for views.

When will people like Piers Morgan realise that by debating a Holocaust denier like Nick Fuentes he's fundamentally conceding that the reality of the Holocaust is something to be debated. It aids and amplifies denial. All because Morgan wants views for his irrelevant YouTube channel.

Of course the BBC has made mistakes but watching these right/far-right commentators pretending they care about impartiality and journalistic standards when they appear on/host GB News shows is laughable. I wish the BBC spent less time placating ppl who will hate it regardless of what they do.

The authoritarian crack down on American anti-fascists is deeply worrying to see. It's one of those moments when a fascist leader tells the world who he really is. There must be better ways that European anti-fascists can show our solidarity and offer support.
