PREVENT: The UK’s🇬🇧 Failed Counter-Extremism Strategy & The ‘Waste of Time’ War on Terror

We speak to Dr. Rob Faure Walker, author of ‘The Emergence of Extremism: Exposing the Violent Discourse and Language of ‘Radicalisation’’. He discusses the UK’s arguably failed ‘Prevent’ counter-terrorism policy which provides guidelines to identify young children as young as 5 as potential future terrorists, why the Prevent strategy actually encourages extremism instead of allowing democratic discourse to empower young people opposed to UK and NATO foreign policy, how his discussions with students as a teacher turned students away from a potential path of Islamist extremism, the growing trend of repression of Muslims around the world such as in Modi’s India under the guise of counter-extremism, how Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party has gone completely against its own roots, the failure of the War on Terror as a ‘dangerous’ waste of time and much more! #UKnews #Politics #CurrentAffairs LIKE Going Underground
