A short, urgent and illuminating book about the rise of the far right in Britain, and what we can do to stop it.'READ THIS BOOK!' - JAMES O'BRIEN'A LUCID PRIMER ON HOW TO RESIST THE APPEASEMENT OF REFORM' -TLSThe far right is now mainstream in British politics. In 2025 we saw the biggest far-right rally in Britain’s history, after a summer of flag-waving protests. The year before, racist mobs tried to attack mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers.Something incredibly dangerous has been unleashed, yet our political class seems at best indifferent and at worst to welcome it.In If We Tolerate This, Daniel Trilling explains how we arrived at this extraordinary moment and what we can do to change course before it’s too late.PRAISE FOR DANIEL TRILLING:'Racism and the rise of the far right in Britain are often discussed but rarely understood.

Shortlisted for the Stanford Travel Book of the Year'This powerful study looks behind the statistics and political slogans to reveal the human face of the refugee crisis.' GuardianA mother who puts her children into a refrigerated lorry and asks ‘what else could I do?’ A runaway teenager who comes of age on the streets and in abandoned buildings. A student who leaves his war-ravaged country behind because he doesn’t want to kill. Each of the thousands of people who come to Europe in search of asylum every year brings a unique story with them. But their stories don’t end there.In Lights in the Distance, acclaimed journalist Daniel Trilling draws on years of reporting to build a portrait of the refugee crisis, seen through the eyes of the people who experienced it first-hand. As the European Union has grown, so has a tangled and often violent system designed to filter out unwanted migrants – one that extends from the border into cities. Most of us became aware of the crisis when it apparently reached its peak in 2015, but the roots go much deeper. Visiting camps and hostels, sneaking into detention centres and delving into his own family’s history of displacement, Trilling weaves together the stories of people he met and followed from country to country. In doing so, he shows that the terms commonly used to define them – refugee or economic migrant, legal or illegal, deserving or undeserving – fall woefully short of capturing the complex realities.The founding myth of the EU is that it exists to ensure the horrors of the twentieth century are never repeated. Now, as it comes to terms with its worst refugee crisis since the Second World War, the 'European values' of freedom, tolerance and respect for human rights are being put to the test. Lights in the Distance is a uniquely powerful and illuminating exploration of the nature and human dimensions of the crisis.
