About this listen

In this episode, Leo is joined by Liam Duffy, a researcher, speaker and trainer in counter-terrorism. Our conversation took place not long after the 'Wakefield school incident', where a copy of the Quran was accidentally damaged by a pupil at Kettlethorpe High School. Liam helps provide context to the anti-blasphemy demonstrations that followed, and together we dissect the response from the police, the school, and the local authority. The rest of the podcast is spent reflecting on counter extremism in modern Britain, and its success and failures. Together we contemplate what is extremism, and difficulty in challenging threatening ideologies, while protecting free speech and community cohesion.
