Ms Steph Hanlon:

Regarding that idea of dissemination of information through a national, Government-stamped leaflet, it is important to be aware that many far-right groups have positioned themselves as anti-politics. They are taking the space where they are the champions of the anti-establishment. They say they are the legitimate and trustworthy anti-establishment. That is what is so scary for so many of us When we are putting out Government narratives, we must be careful not to feed that idea that State-run propaganda is being pushed on people. I 100% agree with Ms Crickley that we need to build the capacity of our communities to be self-resilient, self-sustainable, not reliant and to be able to think critically for themselves. As I said, we are seeing amazing leadership across communities, but a key aspect is building community resilience and leadership and I would place more emphasis and value on that than I would on a top-down approach, especially as the far right is currently feeding on distrust, fear and alienation from political leaders.
