  • A short interview about ‘no platform’ with Marta Santiváñez
    Last year the journalist Marta Santiváñez interviewed me about the history of ‘no platform’ as she was writing a chapter for Charlotte Lydia Riley’s edited book The Free Speech Wars. A few excerpts were published in the chapter, but I thought I would post (with Marta’s agreement) the original interview transcript.  This interview was conducted […] […]
  • Guardian piece on the ‘war on woke’ and the ‘loony left’
    A quick post to mention that last week The Guardian published a piece by myself on the Tories’ current ‘war on woke’ and its similarities with the right-wing attacks on the ‘loony left’ in the 1980s. You can read the piece here.
  • Southall 1979 pamphlet

There were numerous injuries and over 300 arrests, while one protestor, Blair Peach, was killed. Recently declassified files reveal much more about what happened at […]
  • Turtlemania and the ninja moral panic in 1980s-90s Britain
    I am very excited that Tribune has published my piece on how the moral panics about ninja weaponry and screen violence in the 1980s led to the BBC heavily censoring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles when it appeared on British television in 1990. You can find the piece here.
  • Review of ‘No Platform’ in Full Stop Mag
    It is very exciting to see a review essay by Shane Burley (author of Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It) for Full Stop magazine on recent anti-fascist scholarship, including my book. You can find the review here. The other two books are Stanislav Vysotsky’s American Antifa and Devin Zane Shaw’s Philosophy […]
