6. They Want to Change Your Heart & Soul (POLARISATION)

This week we tackle the question: why is the Far Right is on the rise?...and what's it got to do with climate change?In our sixth episode, Tilly investigates the shockwaves sent through Wigan in 2015. By investigating the bitterness, manipulation, kindness, and tolerance that took place in this borough, we seek to understand the underlying sociological and psychological mechanisms that contribute to political polarisation… and suggest that the example of Wigan might also contain the key to greater societal unity.
