Nigel Bromage (Former Far-Right Extremist)

Bu bölüm hakkında

<p>Do you believe people with extremist views can change? Our guest this week is Nigel Bromage, who spent decades in dangerous far right organisations such as the National Front, British Movement and Combat 18. In this unique and revealing conversation, Nigel tells Annie how he was groomed into the National Front as a teenager, when he was at his most vulnerable after his Mother’s death, and how after over 20 years in the far-right, he finally managed to escape. Since then he has worked tirelessly to effect change by helping people to leave far right groups and educating communities about extremism through Exit UK, which he founded. He has even come face to face with someone he committed a hate crime against in his past, something which Nigel tells you about here.&nbsp;</p><br><p>In a world where the far right movement is growing exponentially to dangerous effect, there has never been a more important time for Nigel and Exit UK’s work. His story is a real insight into the minds of extremists, and a stark reminder that we are all, no matter how much hate we carry, ultimately the same emotionally vulnerable people underneath. And how no matter how far we go down a road, it is always possible to change course.</p><br><p><strong>Content Warning:</strong> this episode discusses far right extremism with references to hate crimes, racism and violence.&nbsp;</p><br><p>If you want to know more, need help or know someone who does head to www.<a href="https://exituk.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">exituk.org</a></p><p>You can contact them via:</p><p><a href="mailto:info@exitfamilysupport.org" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">info@exitfamilysupport.org</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/exituk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/exituk</a></p><p>0800 999 1945</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
