James Crow joined Britain First at the age of 18 after becoming fascinated by far-right content online while still at school. Now 24, he has left the organisation and is working with the campaign group Hope Not Hate to oppose far-right extremism. This is his story, as told to Sally Weale
I grew up in a small village on the outskirts of Rotherham. It’s quite a diverse area now, but when I was at school it was predominantly white. I went to the local secondary and it was like five years in the slammer. It was pure torture. I was bullied 24/7.
