Hope Not Hate recently released a special report called ‘The 2024 Riots: One Year On’. As ever with the Labour-linked group, it is selective at best…
The anniversary coverage gently glosses over Hope Not Hate’s own role in promoting alarm over what it called a “hit list” of far right protest targets that its own director later admitted was a “hoax”. During the riots, Hope Not Hate drew attention to what it called a “hit list… for action up to and including terrorism” at 39 law firms and immigration advice centres. The list caused national panic…
A Telegram channel had posted a list of the 39 supposed law and advice offices to be targeted. But some of the names were law firms that no longer existed, at least two were private homes, and one was a government agency that has not existed since 2013…
Nevertheless, Hope Not Hate’s Director of Research, called it a “hit list of aspirational targets that calls for action up to and including terrorism… Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict exactly which, if any, of these locations will be targeted by far-right rioters or come under physical attack. Any and all services should be on high alert.” Responding, the BBC ran stories using Hope not Hate’s “hit list” terminology. Ministers were asked about it on the Today programme. The Guardian newspaper put the story on its front page. Shops and businesses, not just immigration services, closed or boarded themselves up. Six thousand riot police were deployed or put on standby…
But the actions did not materialise. Hope Not Hate’s chief executive, Nick Lowles, was reported in The Guardian as saying: “I think it’s a hoax…The list has been compiled by one man in Liverpool, who simply googled immigration law firms etc. No-one is organising the local protests and there is very, very little chatter about it on the forums and WhatsApp groups that have been key over the past week. It’s had more circulation from the left community groups than the far right.” He later tweeted: “Yes, the list was a hoax, but just look at the front pages of today’s papers [filled with pictures of all the counter-demonstrations]. An anti-racist message is being message is being transmitted to millions of homes this morning.” Funny to miss all that out…
