Record numbers of children are being reported to the Government's anti-extremism services for expressing 'far right' ideology.
More than 2,100 under-15s were referred to Prevent in 2022/23 over fears they were being groomed by extremists or at risk of radicalisation.
Of them, 462 expressed 'extreme right wing' ideologies compared with 182 'Islamist' referrals. Eighty-eight were flagged over their interest in school massacres, with six suspected 'incels' also on the list.
Prevent, ran by the Home Office, aims to stop terror attacks on British streets. Officials work with local authorities and community organisations to 'support and protect vulnerable people'.
But the flagship £49million-a-year scheme has faced huge criticism over its failures in spotting Islamist terror sympathisers, including those with links to notorious hate preacher Anjem Choudary.
Critics, including ex-Home Secretary Suella Braverman, accused it of pandering to political correctness and trying not to appear to be Islamophobic.
Sir William Shawcross, who conducted an independent review into the scheme, said the British public is 'at risk' because Prevent has strayed from 'its core mission' of countering all ideologies that can lead to terrorism.
Sir William wrote: 'It is correct for Prevent to be increasingly concerned about the growing threat from the Extreme Right. But the facts clearly demonstrate that the most lethal threat in the last 20 years has come from Islamism, and this threat continues.'
Months later, it emerged that popular British sitcoms were marked as 'key texts' for white nationalists/supremacists by the counter-terror programme.
Prevent singled out comedies Yes Minister and The Thick Of It, the 1955 epic war film The Dam Busters, and even The Complete Works Of William Shakespeare as possible red flags of extremism.

“Yes Minister” is hilarious.
The left has no sense of humor.
I have the 1955 movie “The Dam Busters” on bluray and used to have “The Complete Works of Shakespeare”.
Love “Yes Minister” and “Yes Prime Minister” Surely “Robin Hood” must have made the list.
“Yes, Minister” is must-see TV.
Vastly educational.
At what point does “Right” become “Far-Right” and how would one know?
The British government is categorizing kids under 15 as “incels?”
That government needs to fall!
That would be anyone slightly to the right of Marx..
Thought police in action in Britain.

“...462 expressed ‘extreme right wing’ ideologies compared with 182 ‘Islamist’ referrals.”
Interesting how the Brit cops held their ground in Southport yesterday, as opposed to running way in Leeds last week.
Wow, the UK is non-existent. Their culture is wiped out.
“EXTREME RIGHT WING” in Europe means any ungood-think government or Lenin doesn’t like.
Incel (/ˈɪnsɛl/ IN-sel; a portmanteau of “involuntary celibate”)
I was an incel at 15.
The British are fags.
And no reports of extreme far left naughtZee ideology? What a cesspool the u.k.has become.
The sun has set on the British empire.
