(National-UAE) The British government’s extremism adviser has called on leaders of the country’s three main political parties to commit to challenging hateful acts.
Sara Khan has written to Conservative leader and Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Jo Swinson, head of the Liberal Democrats, accusing politicians of not doing enough to counter extremism.
The letter, which follows the recent release of the Commission for Countering Extremism’s report Challenging Hateful Extremism, said: “Our country’s response to hateful extremism is weak, insufficient and often ineffective. In the interests of our country, we need to do better.
“Hateful extremism is undermining the social fabric of our country and is having a devastating impact on the lives of individuals, communities and the country as a whole.”
