The exchange was civil, but revealing. While we found areas of agreement on issues like the cost of living and the dangers of concentrating power, the discussion ultimately exposed how far-right rhetoric relies not on logic or evidence, but on racial hatred and fear of the “other.”
We break down the contradictions we heard, explain why these arguments fall apart under scrutiny, and reflect on what the experience says about the rise of extremist narratives in the UK. This episode isn’t about platforming hate — it’s about understanding how these ideas spread, how to challenge them, and why community solidarity and anti-racist organising matter now more than ever.
If you want insight into how the far-right frames its arguments, how to respond to them, and what we learned by engaging directly, this is the conversation worth hearing.
