      In a week that fascism advances in one of the largest countries in the world & a black british academic is told on national tv to go back to where he came from for stating basic historical facts, BBC's highbrow flagship show affirms fascists' own narrative of themselves, again.https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1050472640727666689 …

      TONIGHT: Is Tommy Robinson a man raising concerns that others ignore, or a far-right figure exploiting the victims of sexual abuse for his own ends? We look into the roots of his appeal - and where his movement is headed next. 22:30 @BBCTwo | #newsnight pic.twitter.com/YmqE8AtgSt

      Fascists have always used free speech "debates" for political gain, have always claimed they're being silenced. National media continuing to platform them is not naivety, it's about ratings/"engagement" & the ideological frames they share with Robinson - nationalism & whiteness.

      Also this week, a chapter from @CorpWatchUK's forthcoming book about Britain's border regime on the decades of consistent protests, hunger strikes, work strikes & rebellions by people actually silenced in this society, the 1000s held in detention centres. https://corporatewatch.org/the-uk-border-regime-a-brief-history-of-resistance-to-immigration-detention/ …

      Sivanandan on popular racism in the 1960s and a mainstream turn for fascism, using institutional politics and media platforms to further their cause. Of course they weren't entering a neutral space but what was already a deeply racist society.pic.twitter.com/uqBALQhhKi

      Been looking through the archive @56aInfoshop and found some useful stuff from the 1930s. This bit is great on "freedom of speech", Mosley and a pathetic anti-communist Labour MP after Olympia.pic.twitter.com/eFu53ifgll

      Did some more digging here, amazing stuff. Specifically about the role of the media in facilitating the rise of British fascism in the 1930s and the wild lengths antifascist proletarians went to in order to spread the word about an anti-Mosley mobilisation in Hyde Park.pic.twitter.com/Eitj0ggQ5Y

          Sad to think BBC used to be like this...sadder still that it’s getting worse today
