I have always thought that Prevent was a useless institution that was incapable of understanding Islamist Terrorism. Now, I realize that it is also a threat to our freedom. Its latest act of losing the plot over terrorism was to declare in its online guidance that ‘cultural nationalism’ could be a reason for referring someone for deradicalisation![i]Hopefully I am not going to be referred by this quango for participation in their de-radicalisation indoctrination programme.

Dog-Whistling Or Calling A Spade and Spade

1 month ago | frankfuredi.substack.com | Frank Furedi

I believe that openly communicating your views and telling it like it is essential for the functioning of democracy. That is why being able to call a spade a spade is integral to the flourishing of a culture of freedom.

The old Bolshevik revolutionary, Leon Trotsky took the words out of my mouth when in 1939 he wrote that the ‘very concepts of “anti-fascism” and “anti-fascist” are fictions and lies[i]’. Elsewhere Trotsky stated that ‘ “Anti-fascism” is nothing, an empty concept used to cover up Stalinist skulduggery[ii].
