Extreme Right-Wing Terrorism: A Complex and Fragmented Threat

The ISC launched their inquiry in October 2019, following the announcement that the Security Service (MI5) would be taking over the lead on investigating extreme right-wing terrorism from Counter Terrorism Policing – a collaboration of UK police forces – and in the wake of the terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand. The committee’s report was published in July 2022.

This discussion will focus on the ISC’s findings on a threat which is growing in the UK, which remains global in its reach and which attracts an increasing number of young people, driven by the internet.
