Stockholm-based journalist, Philip O'Connor has spent years warning people about the rise of ugly nationalism and the far right and he rejoins us on the tortoise shack to discuss what the events in Sandwith Street, Inch, Santry and elsewhere tell us about obvious machinations of the far right playbook and how we're repeating the mistakes of others.

We look at the role of politics, media and a minority in civil society in sowing the seeds that allowed these dangerous movements to take root.
