Extreme News explores extremism - what it is, why it's important, what we might do about it - all issues for a 21st Century Britain. ExtremeNews.org.uk aims to help people explore the questions and the issues. It will inevitably consider racism as one example of extremism but it will also put extremism in a wider context.

We look at where we are now and where we've been. Are we living in a more tolerant society today than our grandparents did or is it just the same?

We consider extremism on a personal level, a local level, and a national or international level.

We hope that the information on this website will support the debate on extremism and get people talking about the issues and gain a better understanding of politics and modern British life. We'll look at the news, discuss what it's like to live in a multi-cultural Britain and consider how the media influence thinking.

To understand extremism is ambitious for anyone but to explore extremism is a must for everyone.

We encourage you to comment and join the debate whilst exploring and attempting to understand extremism; Britain's most challenging topic for a successful multicultural society.
