How the far right is radicalising British children
Evidence shows young people are becoming increasingly exposed to extremist right-wing ideologies.
In the 1980s Nigel Bromage joined the far right at the age of 15. After being handed an anti-IRA leaflet outside the school gates, he quickly fell into a world of nationalist extremism.
Twenty years after leaving such groups, Bromage is facing a new, pressing concern: that lockdown, and the boredom and increased time online it has created, is leading to children being radicalised by the far right.
“Getting involved in these groups can lead you on a very, very dark path,” said Bromage. He should know: by the time he quit at the end of the millennium, he had been a member of some of the most notorious far-right groups in Britain, including the National Front and Combat-18.
