and cultural homogeneity, but you are also at the very least paying lip service to the fact that Britain is a multi-ethnic society and that's something we accept and perhaps even welcome to a degree.

Restore Britain have taken a position that is much more

close to ethnic nationalism, that to be British means to be descended from people who have lived here for centuries and to follow Christianity as a religion, for instance.

So that's something that a senior official in Restore Britain has posted online in the past, that to be British, you have to be ethnically and culturally, which really means white and Christian.

Yeah, something that's fundamental to these radical right-wing nationalist movements around the world is that they're always looking for issues that will excite a visceral sense of threat to the nation.

And those almost always come down to issues around sex, birth and death.

So it's about, you know, the indigenous population or citizens being outbred by immigrants.

or very often you will find right-wing nationalists alighting on issues where there's a mix of crime, sexual abuse and ethnical cultural difference.

And so obviously the grooming gangs scandal, there's a very important political debate around what happened, could it have been stopped, what lessons can be learned and so on across the whole spectrum of politics.

But the reason why the radical right-wing

latches onto it is because it's got these other uses, you know, it excites this fear and disgust among the people that they are trying to win the support of.

And so Rupert Lowe has made that a big campaigning point himself.

He set up this independent, self-described rape gangs inquiry.

which is only looking at these grooming cases rather than other issues of systematic sexual abuse or establishment cover-ups and so on.

That's been funded by several hundred thousand pounds in donations.

They say that they're preparing a report at the moment and Lowe is promising to

use parliamentary privilege because he's still an MP to name perpetrators or people responsible for allowing this to happen.

So that's kind of got the form of a more mainstream political inquiry, but that's not what it's about.

I mean, essentially, that is, I think, encouraging a form of mob justice and kangaroo courts and so on.

It's political theatre.
