And if you want to understand a little bit more about their organization, how it, uh, originated, we spoke about this with Hope Not Hate last week, and it can give you a little bit more insight actually into, I think, why so many of the political parties and, and maybe even the police are slightly scared from acting in the way that they think they should, and how this whole idea of legitimate concerns [laughs] has got confused with grown men being vigilantes in balaclavas.

Uh, but that was interestingly the birthplace of Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe's hard right splinter party from Reform.
Kiran StaceyHOST
7:30
And apparently, according to, uh, one researcher at Hope Not Hate who have been looking into this quite a wh- for quite a while, Ben Delo takes a, um, almost a gambler's approach to, um, uh, who he donates to.
Kiran StaceyHOST
7:44
So he donates to a lot of different places, parties, individuals, and then decides after a while which one he thinks has the best chance of winning.
Kiran StaceyHOST
7:51
So this is, in a way, a big plus for Nigel Farage, but maybe it also tells us that his links into that slightly harder right movement, that movement around Rupert Lowe, are still there and in fact growing.
Naomi SmithHOST
31:14
And it's also a way to avoid tax.
Naomi SmithHOST

And Hope Not Hate, who obviously, you know, campaign very, very strongly against the far right and the organized right and infiltrate far-right groups that Tommy has been associated with, like the English Defense League, they are now saying that HMRC need to get involved in this and do a full investigation to see-

They are, and the party is, I think, a far-right party.
JackGUEST
1:13
I mean, Hope Not Hate, the UK's leading anti-fascist organisation, describes them as far-right, and they continue to attract people who have views that are aligned with far-right policies.
speaker_2HOST
1:25
Do you think that allowing these people to be in either parliament or in local governments and allowing them to kind of reveal themselves as having almost weaponized incompetence is actually a benefit so in the future people realize that these people actually don't really know what they're doing and therefore they can vote for someone else or do you think it's actually even just bad than being there in the first place?
JackGUEST
1:44
No, I often hear people say to me, do you know what the best thing for us to do is? Let reform win a term in government.

Problem is, Tommy Robinson is better at this game than they are, and his own documentary, The Dispatches Deception, blew their hit piece out the water.
Dan WoottonHOST
7:23
Now, I watched both documentaries in full.
Dan WoottonHOST
7:25
Channel 4 worked on theirs with the scum anti-British organization, Hope Not Hate, for three years, but there was still no smoking gun.
Dan WoottonHOST
7:33
Tommy had just three days to prove them wrong.
Coco KhanHOST
21:41
Absolutely.
Coco KhanHOST
21:42
So Hope Not Hate was the first to identify that the Dover disturbance was organized by a far-right group.
Coco KhanHOST
21:48
Th- that this is the, the Patriot Platform.
Coco KhanHOST
21:51
It's been founded by Tommy Robinson's right-hand man and former bodyguard, Daniel Thomas, better known as Danny Tommo.
Coco KhanHOST
22:49
Anyway, nonetheless, they're an anti-immigration group.
Coco KhanHOST
22:52
They've been billed as, this is how they bill themselves rather, is the resistance standing against the downfall of the United Kingdom.
Coco KhanHOST
22:59

Kevin MaguireHOST
23:06
There's a racist element, and I think the rise of these, uh... th- this latest, uh, Patriot, uh, platform with this, uh, Tom, uh, Thomas guy who got two years for attempted kidnap with a knife and is facing some incredibly serious allegations from the community anti-extremist group Hope Not Hate, I, I think it's, uh, it's kind of really worrying.
Kevin MaguireHOST
23:29
The police were slow, but I think it just deserves not a condemnation.
Kevin MaguireHOST
23:33
But we saw in reform, and of course they've got money problems, financial problems, police investigation, you know.
