A year of hate: what I learned when I went undercover with the far right

For more than a year, I went undercover in the British far right. Hope Not Hate focuses on monitoring, researching and campaigning against the far right. Leaders in the far right conceal their true nature to present a more acceptable version to potential voters, donors and sometimes their own members. If the far right are using subterfuge to gain ground in politics, then it makes sense to turn their tactics back on them.
