Surge in anti-refugee activity: new analysisThe Times has published a highly relevant and informative article about the increase in anti-refugee activity in the UK. As noted in my report, Challenging Hateful Extremism, I called for an urgent and complete overhaul as the approach taken was too broad and was failing to tackle extremism. We showed how the two areas of law most relevant are hate crime and terrorism — both of which are illegal. Hateful extremism falls between both, and this gap in legislation is allowing extremists to operate lawfully. There is a very dark side to this anti-migrant activity.
