When a horrific terrorist attack against children spawned some of
the most violent riots in recent UK history, it revealed a sinister
undercurrent of racial, religious, and multicultural tensions
flowing just beneath the surface of British society.  Fuelled
by voices from the Far-Right, the riots saw a mosque burned and a
hotel housing asylum seekers set on fire. But the killer, Axel
Rudukabana, was neither muslim or an immigrant. He was British -
and known to the security services as a risk. So what does this
attack reveal about the future of terror attacks in the United
Kingdom? And why was this attack met
with violence rather than anguish? What’s changed in the
fabric of our society? And what can we do about it? In this final
episode of 7/7: The Inside Story we explore the existential
questions of British identity raised by this series, culminating in
an exclusive interview with former Minister of Security, and long
time Conflicted listener, Conservative MP Tom Tugendhat.
