Extremists were stirring up white populations who would not normally support the far right and deepening social division, Sara Khan, who leads the Commission for Countering Extremism (CCE), said in her first major report.

Figures such as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who is more commonly known as Tommy Robinson, Anne Marie Waters, the leader of the For Britain party, and Jayda Fransen, a former deputy leader of the fascist group Britain First, were singled out in the report for spreading anti-minority and anti-Muslim agendas.

Khan visited 20 towns and cities and sifted through 3,000 responses to a call for evidence to produce her first major report, published on Monday, titled Challenging Hateful Extremism. She concluded in her report that the government’s response to extremism was “inadequate”, “unfocused” and urgently needed a complete overhaul.

Whenever you have two communities with radically different cultures living in one country with the same laws, there is going to be tension. You don't need far right people to create it. It will be there.

We have had many cultures living side by side for generations...why now? Why specifically since 2016 has there been a spike in right wing violence?

No, you should deport the politicians who created this problem in the first place. Or at least send the Muslims to the affluent neighborhoods of those politicians so they can reap the benefits(?) of multi-culturalism first hand. Don't begrudge the Muslims who are only adhering to the culture their ancestors passed onto them.

...this is not about culture../...multiculturalism...the report is saying that hate-fuelled protests aimed against the Muslim community are taking place when 85% of those convicted of sexual offences in 2018 in the Northumbria police force area were white../non Muslims...the hate being relayed and fuelled by some is a falsehood of criminal element representing a culture...that would mean that for the safety of that area...85% of white people should be part of that protest narrative as well...if those protesters were genuine in their ‘caring for their women and children..’....
