William Coleshill, head of conspiracy theory group Resistance GB, at fracas as experts warn of rise of extremism
A former Tory councillor who was thrown out of the party and now heads an anti-vax group peddling a range of conspiracy theories was among a mob that harangued Keir Starmer before the Labour leader was whisked away by police.
As experts warned of a dangerous risk of extremism from a radicalised hardcore as the pandemic wanes, the incident has focused attention on the rise of a plethora of protest groups. One group present during Monday night’s fracas, Resistance GB, is led by the former north London Tory councillor William Coleshill, who draws on bogus justifications about ancient English “Common Law” to justify direct action.
