A secretive organisation accused of collaborating with far-right activists has been operating out of the House of Lords for more than a decade, a cache of leaked documents suggests.
The organisation, called the New Issues Group (NIG), includes the former Ukip leader Malcolm Pearson and the Tory former deputy speaker of the House of Lords Baroness Cox.
The cache of documents, acquired by anti-fascist group Hope not Hate, even suggests that a figure who would become one of the UK’s most notorious anti-Muslim activists drafted questions to be asked in the House of Lords by group members.
So the usual demand is that we must become a much more democratic society. Much more of life to be decided through politics. But only those with the right views are to be allowed to take part in politics.
Dunno whether we should describe that as a far-right demand or a far-left one. Probably about where the political circle meets, right?
It’d be hard to find a more hate driven bunch of people than those as Hope Not Hate.
Hope Not Hate is a hateful organisation. It is the very thing it claims to oppose. ‘Far right’ in this instance – like most instances today – merely means ‘not left.’
HNH is a middle class press censorship organisation
A brilliant bit of pre-emptive naming there, though. Hope Not Hate says: “Kick the Nigs out!”
@Longrider…
“not left”…? I’d have thought “not extreme left”.
Hope not Hate receive taxpayer funding to spy on people who oppose the Establishment view. Probably just a coincidence.
I don’t know whether you need a license from the Information Commissioner to collect and store info on private individuals, but might be interesting to inquire if HnH have one…
In March 2016, the minutes state that: “Following February’s NIG meeting, MP [Malcolm Pearson] tabled a number of written parliamentary questions”, which covered sharia financing, grooming in Rotherham and counter-extremism strategy
Racist hate questions, eh?
So the usual demand is that we must become a much more democratic society
Eh, no it isn’t. The usual demand is that so-and-so is “racist” or “problematic” and that’s why it’s just not possible to do what voters want, but of course it is possible and desirable to give them asylum seeker rape hotels and taxpayer funded racial self abasement and whatever the EU wants this week.
The role of groups like HNH is to ferret out little rogue pockets of democratic representation and destroy them.
Ah. So the actual crime being committed by Malcolm Pearson (former Leader of UKIP) is to ask difficult questions that “Hate, not Hope” would rather not have asked as they illustrate how problematic the Islamic Invasion is for the indigenes and how rapey the adherents are.
How awful?
Hopeless but not Hateless.
Geert Wilders far-right? *bwahahahahaaaaah!!* Maybe to the Guardian and its readership.
Wilders is actually a centrist conservative who isn’t afraid to call Bullcrap on shenanigans Left and Right. Which the lefty pantywringers and Europhiles hate with unabated hate.
The fact that he has double the representation of any one Lefty party, with enough members of parliament to make an actual difference and speak with impunity is a thing … well… it’s like the continuous Brexit waffle.. The Salt is still tasty, but you start wishing for some variety now and then..
Wasn’t it Hope Not Hate the Lefty organisation that, once it infiltrated the Prevent anti extremism programme, started classifying Shakespeare, Orwell, Tolkien and CS Lewis and those who read them as ‘people on a far right radical path? Yes it was. Maybe Hope Not Hate’s claim that asking awkward questions about Britain’s Islamic community and the criminals and extremists sadly too often associated with it are ‘Islamophobic’ should be mocked as was their claims about Shakespeare et al?
