The far right thrives on lies and disinformation. We’re debunking some of the most common myths they peddle, exposing the harm they cause, and showing why their claims don’t stand up to scrutiny. Read our new report: hopenothate.org.uk/2026/10/01/f...

❌ Myth: Police run a “two-tier” system that treats white Britons more harshly than ethnic minorities. ✅ Fact: The “two-tier policing” thing is the wrong way round. Black people in England and Wales are 3.8 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people (Home Office).

❌ Myth: Violent crime is rising, cities like London are unsafe, and immigration is to blame. ✅ Fact: London’s actually getting safer. The murder rate in 2025 was the lowest since 2014, and neighbourhood crime fell 14% in the year to June (Met Police).

❌ Myth: Migrant and Muslim men are the biggest threat to women and children. ✅ Fact: The data doesn’t back that up. Over 90% of rape and sexual assault is by someone the victim knows, and white defendants make up 88% of child sexual abuse prosecutions (MoJ and ONS).
