From 20th minute.
The journalist Hsiao-Hung Pai focuses on the most marginalised sector of the white working class - the British far right.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0713zf1
"Always fascinated with racism."
"Deep sense of alienation and isolation"
"feel very much like outsiders in their own society"
Marr: "a country of outsiders"
"great sense of marginalisation"
"unemployment"
urban decay
"lack of opportunity"
De-industrialisation of Luton when Vauxhall left. Not solely economic factors, but mainly economic.
Nobody could explain Englishness, probably not even Jake Rees-Mogg himself.
Britain First an online phenomenon mainly.
EDL in decline since Tom Robinson left. Splintering of the group, getting smaller and more violent.
Pegida anti-Islam and anti-Muslim. Violence against refugees and Muslims.
Marr asked about Britain First's Christian marches. She didn't understand the question though he asked her twice.
Precariat mentioned. They have no sense of identity or solidarity with each other.
Listen to her incoherent answer to the final question at the 38th minute.

Listen to her incoherent answer to the final question at the 38th minute.
Marr:
Having looked at all the people who have lost out and are angry white people, what would be your advice to politicians listening to this conversation worrying about the next big swathe of jobs that are going to disappear? What should they be doing?
HHP:
That's such a big question for me. I think the Far Right will have a bigger voice and will feel more confident in expressing themselves when the government practises policies that victimise refugees and migrants. When governments put forward those policies, the Far right has more say. We see that happening in Britain already.
Marr:
And in Britain and in Germany politicians are simply scared of the consequences of this level of migration - they are terrified - and therefore they are much less likely to, as it were, confront the Far Right.
HHP [cowed by the host of the show so BLATANTLY STUFFING HIS WORDS INTO HER MOUTH]:
Uh huh. And ... um ... [laughs after giving up] ... You said it.
Marr:
I must stop enfolding answers in my questions. It is not good broadcasting.
GRRR. Questions @AndrewMarr9 asked @hsiaohungpai she couldn't answer, I could easily have answered. #starttheweek— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016

Of course you could! She ran out of script and can't do the off piste!
@vANNilla @AndrewMarr9 @hsiaohungpai I am so hopping mad about this. NOBODY ELSE KNOWS ABOUT THE BRITISH FAR RIGHT MORE THAN ME.— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016

You write a book on
Angry White People
Then have a locked twitter account
Is the title #racist
@I_AM_G_FORCE Looks like @hsiaohungpai only confined her investigation to the useless EDL, full of Islamophobic plebs, and that's it.— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016
@I_AM_G_FORCE I am actually insulted that @hsiaohungpai did not even think to interview me for her book. That superficial, was it?— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016
@I_AM_G_FORCE Either @hsiaohungpai has not heard of me, or she didn't think I was worth interviewing. Which was it?— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016

Re @AndrewMarr9's question to @hsiaohungpai about Christian marches, I wd hv asked how many members of @BritainFirst believe in the Trinity.— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016
Re @AndrewMarr9 final question to @hsiaohungpai re what MPs should do about the Far Right, I wd hv said give them more jobs/fewer immigrants— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016
Re @AndrewMarr9 question 2 @hsiaohungpai re Xtian marches, I wdhv said @BritainFirst, like ISIS, use religion as n ideological weapon of war— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 22, 2016
If I wrote a book on #angrywhitepeople, wd @AndrewMarr9 invite me on #starttheweek? If not, why not? @hsiaohungpai https://t.co/v0ZcArTwyu— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 23, 2016
I called the ex-London and South East Organiser of @bnp yesterday. He had never heard of @hsiaohungpai. @AndrewMarr9 https://t.co/v0ZcArTwyu— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 23, 2016
What kind of investigative journalist writing on #angrywhitepeople skips @bnp and @UKIP? @AndrewMarr9 @hsiaohungpai https://t.co/v0ZcArTwyu— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 23, 2016
@I_AM_G_FORCE @AndrewMarr9 You mean the media prefers a mediocrity like @hsiaohungpai to someone who actually knows her stuff? Wotta shocka!— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 23, 2016
@I_AM_G_FORCE @AndrewMarr9 If you listen carefully to @hsiaohungpai's answer in 40th minute, she was trying to say something interesting.— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 23, 2016
@I_AM_G_FORCE When @hsiaohungpai was trying to say gvt should steal @bnp @UKIP policies, @AndrewMarr9 pretended she said something else.— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 23, 2016
