The UK's pogroms and resurgent Islamophobia w/ Nesrine Malik

On July 30th, a week of Islamophobic and racist violence broke out
in England and Northern Ireland, following a mass stabbing even in
the seaside town of Southport in which three children were
murdered. The subsequent racist attacks were fuelled by
misinformation, spread by far-right groups, that the perpetrator
was a Muslim and an asylum seeker. In today's episode Nesrine Malik
joined PTO to talk about how best to characterise the week of
violence and intimidation, and the degree of culpability of
Britain's main political parties in fostering racism and
Islamophobia. We also talked about the network of new right wing
media organisations, think tanks and influencers and how they
synergise with the old and established conservative press.
