We know how this works now. We know how the hate engine functions.
It doesn’t matter how much good refugees do in this country. The moment that a single refugee is accused of a crime, it will be treated as proof that they are a threat to British civilisation.
On Monday night, two men were stabbed in Uxbridge, west London. One man, who had been walking his dog, died. The other experienced life-changing injuries. A teenager was also harmed. A 22-year-old Afghan national was arrested on the scene. He had arrived in the UK on the back of a lorry in 2020 and was later granted asylum.
Within moments, the hate engine went into operation. Far-right Tommy Robinson, branded by many a fascist, jumped on X to promote a sense of conspiracy and threat. “The Afghan invader entered in a lorry, instead of being deported, like hundreds of thousands more like him, he was rewarded with everything available to the native,” wrote Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. “Get them all out, now!”
The mainstream right swung in too. “People are exploiting our generosity, taking advantage of our kindness,” Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch said. “This man, granted asylum in Britain, has been arrested on suspicion of murdering an innocent person and violently attacking a child. We must stop pretending that everyone who claims asylum is a good person.”
Elon Musk, the crown prince of the worldwide right, then spread the message, acting as a transmission agent between domestic far-right figures and their global allies. “What happened to the nice man who was brutally murdered while walking his dog will happen to all of England if the tide of illegal immigration is not turned,” he posted on X. “It is time for the English to ally with the hard men, like Tommy Robinson, and fight for their survival or they shall surely all die.”
He then reiterated the argument he made when he joined Robinson’s fascist London march over the summer. “Civil war in Britain is inevitable. Just a question of when.”
Musk’s talk of civil war is not a warning of violence. It is a call to violence. During that rally, he said: “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die.” This is a legitimation of violence – a call for pre-emptive violence against political opponents.
This is how the hate engine works. It only ever takes one refugee to be accused of a crime. Just one out of however many hundreds of thousands. And then it can splutter into life.
It does this through seemingly mainstream figures, like Badenoch, and seemingly respectable news outlets. It is then escalated into a frenzy by the far right itself: Robinson, Musk and the global social media ecosystem they have developed to spread their ideas.
When people gathered in the local area at night to pay their respects, Robinson was online, spreading it to his 1.7 million followers, tacitly encouraging them to go out, trying to turn something decent into something unspeakable, willing on mass civil disorder, as they did in 2024.
There is no evidence that asylum seekers are more likely to commit crime than other people, of any sort. Nor is there any evidence, as Badenoch childishly says, that “everyone who claims asylum is a good person”. Of course they’re not, because they are not symbols. They are people, with all the flaws and wonders – all the beauty and ugliness – that entails. People can be good or bad, heroic or cowardly, vicious or kind. They are all these things and none of them.

The message the hate engine transmits is simple. It is that asylum seekers are not really people in need. They are an invading army who pose a threat to women and children. This is the obvious narrative behind Musk’s commentary. It is what explains Nigel Farage’s insistence that men who cross the Channel are of “fighting age” and therefore threaten “major civil disorder”. It’s why Robert Jenrick talks of his “fears” for his daughters.
This is the trick they try to pull on the public. They aim to eradicate any sense of compassion, of common decency, of human imagination. They wish to replace it with civilisational conflict where any newcomer from a different culture is treated primarily as a security threat. It is a very old story, about the threat from barbarian outsiders who are associated with rape and murder.
Every demographic has people in it who are violent or abusive. White people born in Britain commit murders and sexual assault every week. But they are not defined by this action whenever it is perpetrated. They are not treated as proof of the corruption of their ethnic group. Only refugees and asylum seekers are.
This is an industry of grievance and division, a machine designed to spread hate, which now operates across the British right – from respectable print outlets to wild-eyed online fascists. Don’t let them fool you. Don’t buy what they’re selling. The machine claims to tell people the truth. In fact, it simply reveals the cynicism of those who work it.
