Episode Details

When far-right figures frame anti-immigration stances around protecting women and children, it’s worth asking: what’s the real story behind their rhetoric? Take James English, a popular podcaster recently convicted for assaulting his pregnant partner — texts even bragged about not “fing battered” her. This isn’t an outlier; similar patterns emerged after Belfast riots, where arrested rioters had prior domestic abuse records. Experts warn this tactic — using women’s safety as a political shield — masks deeper misogyny and ignores the fact that most female victims are killed by someone they know. When influencers with large followings promote these ideas, they shape public opinion — and when those messengers themselves are dangerous, the message becomes dangerously misleading.
