Unmasked: Extreme Far Right
BBC Radio Wales
7 episodes
9 months ago

My name is Dan Jones.

Except that's not my real name.

You can't know my real name, because some of the people I am going to tell you about could be dangerous.

I will walk you through how I managed to infiltrate and became a trusted member of a far right group called 'Patriotic Alternative'.

Month after month I wear a "mask", use an alias, to find out what's really going on.

I spend a weekend at PA's summer camp, and even manage to get into their secretive annual conference.

What I discover is that it's not all swastikas and football hooligans.

Some of PA's members were civil servants, an NHS worker, and even a teacher.

In this year-long investigation, I reveal what it's like to be undercover, my double life and the constant fear of being outed.

All to uncover what some PA member's true beliefs are.

1. Summer camp

Warning: There are parts of this episode that some might find offensive and upsetting - including people using very strong language, and the strongest racist language.

Dan Jones finds himself in the beautiful countryside, but his campmates are the far right. He's wearing a mask - using a false name - but so is the group he's here with. On a hike he hears what some of its members really think. But on returning to camp, he discovers the group is about to be found out - which could mean that Dan is outed too.
