Double bill of British crime dramas. 'The Rise and Fall of a White
Collar Hooligan' (2012) follows Mike Jacobs (Nick Nevern), a
football casual who is no stranger to finding himself on the wrong
side of the law. However, the violence and intimidation he indulges

White Collar Hooligan 2: England Away' (2013) Mike is living in
Spain, safeguarded by the Witness Protection Programme after
testifying against several of his former associates. Mike's fatal

kidnapping of his friend Katie (Rita Ramnani).

Action drama offering a gritty portrayal of the life of Carlton
Leach (Ricci Harnett), football hooligan, whose innate ferocity
propels him into an escalating life of serious crime. Over the
course of three decades, Leach 'progresses' from attack-dog

ever-expanding drug scene - his passport into the criminal elite.
Crime drama starring Billy Murray, Vas Blackwood and Alex Esmail.
20 years after the suspicious deaths of three of the country's most
shocking killers sparked the collapse of a criminal empire, the
murderer is yet to be caught. Newcomers have taken the lead of
gangland Britain and revenge is on the agenda, with justice and
vengeance in their sights.
The United States has a hate problem. In recent years, hate speech
has led not only to deep division in our politics but also to
violence, murder, and even insurrection. And yet established
constitutional jurisprudence holds that all speech is protected as
"content neutral" and that the proper democratic response to
hateful expression is not regulation but "more speech." So how can
ordinary citizens stand up to hate groups when the state will not?
In Combating Hate, Billie Murray proposes an answer to this
question. As a participant in anti-racist and anti-fascist
protests, including demonstrations against the Ku Klux Klan,
neo-Nazis, and the Westboro Baptist Church, Murray witnessed
firsthand the limitations of the "more speech" approach as well as
the combative tactics of anti-fascist activists. She argues that
this latter group, commonly known as antifa, embodies a radically
different strategy for combating hate, one that explodes the myth
of content neutrality and reveals hate speech to be a tactic of
fascist organizing with very real, highly anti-democratic
consequences. Drawing on communication theory and this
on-the-ground experience, Murray presents a new strategy, which she
calls "allied tactics," rooted in the commitment to affirm,
support, and even protect those who are the victims of hate speech.
Engaging and sophisticated, Combating Hate contends that there are
concrete ways to fight hate speech from the front lines. Murray's
urgent argument that we reconsider how to confront and fight this
blight on American life is essential reading for the current era.
