This is The Guardian.
Today, on the ground from Stockport to central London, has the far right become a mass movement?
A quick warning before we start.
This episode contains some strong and offensive language.
It's an overcast Saturday morning at the very end of August,
two weeks before Tommy Robinson is planning what he is calling the biggest free speech rally in British history.
And I'm on some playing fields in Stockport near where I live in Greater Manchester.
Normally this is a park where kids play football,
but today I'm surrounded by people in Union Jack Outfits.
One woman, her face painted in the red and white of a St George's flag,
is holding a sign that says, not far right, just a concerned parent.
Do you know where they're going?
I wouldn't tell a news reporter though.
Okay.
Don't be silly.
Why do you think I'm here to find out what's going on?
I follow the crowd down a footpath and through a gap in a fence towards some trees.
No one seems to know where we're going.
We clamber over branches and overgrown weeds and then I realise where we are.
We're at the back of a hotel near the bedrooms.
