Countering fascism: Molly Scott Cato’s Thought for the Week

What we are seeing on our streets is fascism. We need to name it and understand it, because only then can we defeat it. Why do I say this with such confidence? Because I have been aware of the methods and messages of this most odious ideology since 2017. Then, in the wake of the horrible referendum campaign, my EU parliamentary staff and I sat down to work out what was making us fearful and what we could do about it.
