| The London Circle | 12 Sep 2024 With Far-Right riots dominating the news, the question of whether this spike in racist outbursts, is an abnormal occurrence and a blip on the radar or whether it’s a phenomenon that is here to stay for a while. Anas Altikriti talks with Weyman Bennett on the recent far-right racist riots and how they are likely to manifest in the coming days, weeks and probably even years. They discuss how the target of racists are Muslims, and how this emerged and developed so that Islamophobia became almost normalized across the board. The role of the new Labour government in combatting, or indeed exacerbating this issue is also discussed, with a look at the role that the Gaza protests had on the collective response to the racists. ----------- Guests: | Weyman Bennett, Co-Convenor of Stand Up to Racism    See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
