Former miner and Orgreave Truth & Justice Campaign activist John Dunn discusses the viral clip of Tommy Robinson losing his temper and threatening to ‘hunt down’ someone at the possibility of him being faceswapped with paedophiles.
John argues that while Robinson performs toughness, what really gets to him is humour – that ridicule cuts deeper than political criticism.
John also reflects on the importance of humour in working-class political tradition, why the left sometimes forgets it and how laughter can be a powerful tool against the far right.
