STATE OF HATE 2024

Pessimism, Decline And A Rising Radical Right

WELCOME TO OUR State of HATE 2024 report, the most comprehensive and analytical guide to the state of far-right extremism in Britain today.

This year’s State of HATE report focuses heavily on the Radical Right, a political phenomenon we define as right-wing populist in outlook, with strongly anti-immigration and anti-elite rhetoric, but differs from the traditional far right in that it advocates an illiberal democracy rather than overthrow of the system itself.

INSIGHTS

  • There is a strong mood of pessimism and declinism amongst the British public. When asked to describe modern Britain, 43% of the public choose ‘declining’. Only 6% of people strongly agree with the statement ‘the political system works well in the UK’ and 79% think that ‘politicians don’t listen to people like me’.
  • 2023 was the year the Radical Right in the UK came of age. The Radical Right is growing in confidence to push divisive, populist, anti-immigration, climate-sceptic policies in British politics. With the mood amongst the public in favour of change, if a new Government isn’t able to deliver this could open the door for the Radical Right.
  • Anti-migrant activism continues to dominate the far right. HOPE not hate researchers found that anti-migrant activity rose by 20% compared to 2022, itself the highest year on record. There was an 18-fold increase in anti-migrant demonstrations from 2022, following the riot at the Suites Hotel in Kirkby in February 2022.
  • A record number of far-right activists and sympathisers were convicted of terror related offences in 2023. The average age was 32, whilst 4 convicted were teenagers. 19% of people referred to Prevent were considered as ‘extreme right wing’, higher than the 11% referred for ‘Islamist concerns’.
  • The conflict in the Middle East has led to a huge rise in antisemitism and anti-Muslim hatred in the UK, with the far right divided on the issue. Hardline Nazis like the BNP’s Nick Griffin and fascist Patriotic Alternative’s Mark Collett have taken pro-Palestinian stances and attacked ‘Zionist’ influence. Anti-Muslim activists like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) have taken pro-Israel stances.
