Unmasked: Extreme Far Right
by BBC Radio Wales
My name is Dan Jones. Except that's not my real name. You can't know my real name, because some of the people I am going to tell you about could be dangerous. I will walk you through how I managed to infiltrate and became a trusted member of a far right group called 'Patriotic Alternative'. Month after month I wear a "mask", use an alias, to find out what's really going on. I spend a weekend at PA's summer camp, and even manage to get into their secretive annual conference. What I discover is that it's not all swastikas and football hooligans. Some of PA's members were civil servants, an NHS worker, and even a teacher. In this year-long investigation, I reveal what it's like to be undercover, my double life and the constant fear of being outed. All to uncover what some PA member's true beliefs are.
