Looks quite interesting but I'm looking for memoirs for a themed BC meet up, and this fits the bill, so off it goes!

Picked up at yesterday evening's Meetup.

I think I've read some newspaper pieces by this guy in the past.

It's a fascinating subject - and I look forward to reading this !

I have now rather gone off reading this - so, rather than hang on to it any longer, I'm returning it to the wonderful world of BookCrossing so it can have another go at finding a reader...

Journal Entry 7 by LouiseB79 at York, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Sunday, July 5, 2015
A strange and frustrating read, populated mainly by people with whom I had no sympathy and fellow feeling.
Matthew Collins was a member of the National Front, dallying with the BNP and their violent offshoot, C18. Over the course of his time surrounded by unrepentant Nazis, fascists, anti Semites and Holocaust deniers, he underwent a change of heart and has since become a leading anti fascist campaigner.
The most interesting parts are where Collins is explaining what drew him to the movement and what his ideologies were. The reason for my frustration with the book is that the reasons for his change to the left wing is much less well-explained. He doesn't say why he changed his mind or what made him feel that he'd been wrong, and his current work for Hope Not Hate is barely touched on. Instead, there is chapter after chapter of descriptions of disgusting people doing terrible things, which becomes old quickly.
