BRIGHTHINK in conversation: HOPE not hate
From 30 Jun 25 7:30 PM to 30 Jun 25 9:00 PM
The UK has seen a 400% increase in far-right terror arrests over the last decade, with under-18s now making up a growing share of those radicalised.
Far-right content is shared up to 10 times more on social media than mainstream political content - thanks to algorithms that reward outrage and conspiracy.
Join Joe Mulhall, Director of Research at Hope not Hate, as he draws from his extensive experience investigating extremist groups across Europe and the U.S., and explores how the far right has evolved in the digital age, infiltrating mainstream discourse through social media and online platforms.
He will also delve into the challenges faced by anti-fascist organisations, including threats and harassment, and the strategies employed to counteract these movements. This event offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into the complexities of modern extremism and the efforts to combat it.
Joe Mulhall will be ‘In Conversation’ with Suraj Lakhani.
This event will take place upstairs in the Nightingale Room at The Grand Central Pub, Brighton. Unfortunately, there is no wheelchair access to the venue.
DOORS OPEN: 7:00pm
