If we tolerate this – How the British Establishment made the Far Right respectable

29. September 2026 18:00

The far right is now mainstream in British politics.
In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right rally in Britain’s history, after a summer of flag-waving protests. The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.
Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed, yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it.
In If We Tolerate This, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it’s too late.

“A short, urgent and illuminating book about the rise of the far right in Britain, and what we can do to stop it.”

The event will be chaired by Dr Rupert Graf Strachwitz, Member of the Board, Deutsch-Britische Gesellschaft.
