Lecturers on a civil-service counter-terror course in London were more concerned about provocative podcasters than murderous Islamists.
A former civil servant has written about her experience of a civil-service counter-terrorism course at King’s College London. It makes for disturbing reading.
Writing in Fathom earlier this month, Anna Stanley recalls an academic expert on extremism telling attendees that author and journalist Douglas Murray and comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan were examples of ‘far right’ extremists. The lecturer then told attendees that society needed to find ‘ways to suppress’ such figures. He complained that just de-platforming them ‘would cause issues’, because ‘they have millions of followers’.
