Far-right on the Rise? A Town Turns on Its Neighbors

A new documentary shows how extremist views are becoming mainstream in Britain. "England 'Til I Die" follows a man from Sussex as he joins the far right. Filmmaker Jamie Roberts calls it "the story of a community on the frontline of Britain's broken asylum system, and one man's journey into the heart of the far-right movement." In the early 2010s, British far-right groups like the EDL mainly shouted anti-Islam slogans in the street. Today, that behavior looks almost mild. In recent weeks, masked men have led major anti-immigration blockades in Dover. Others have taken direct action against asylum seekers arriving by small boat in Portsmouth. In 2026, migrants are often blamed for many of society's problems. Vigilante tactics are on the rise. The Channel 4 documentary arrives with depressing timeliness. It tells a story that reflects events across the UK.
