“…No matter how close it was 1 , the Brexit vote made the question of ethnic and racial hierarchies pressing once again (King 2016) and reminded us of the power of resentment for loss and the longing for a world order in which white (males)in opposition to devaluated othersare 'the defining trait of humanity and the physical environment' (Braidotii 2001). Similar mechanisms to those leading to Brexit have been identified in other neoliberal, multicultural contexts, such as Australia and the USA (Hogan and Haltinner 2015). Yet unlike other victories of anti-immigrant populism so far, the Brexit vote was an earthquake to those who are otherwise in privileged positionswhite, predominantly Christian immigrants, the 'free movers' (Favell 2008), the citizens of the European Union.…”

The Brexit referendum was an earthquake to those in otherwise privileged positions: white intra-European migrants. Poles form the largest among these groups in the UK. As much as they are vulnerable to discrimination as non-British citizens, these migrants benefit from their whiteness and European heritage. They are objects of anti-immigrant campaigns, but they are not free of antiimmigrant sentiments and racist attitudes. This article uses the notion of 'cultural precarity' to highlight their ambivalent positionalities in Britain and how those have been changing since the Brexit vote. Drawing on three studies conducted among Poles in England between 2010 and 2017, it explores how the neoliberal and culturalist logics of belonging determine the migrants' conditions. By applying the lens of 'cultural precarity', the article is attentive to both to the migrants' vulnerability and the moments of everyday resistance to anti-immigrant populism now at work across Europe. The Brexit case is instructive for other contexts for it demonstrates how migrants construct their own cultural and racial proximity to dominant groups to counter vulnerability and secure inclusion.

“…The political instrumentalisation of the JUH-related incident is an example for an immigration threat narrative commonly disseminated by right-wing populist parties worldwide. A comparative study revealed that right-wing populist parties in the US, UK and Australia have in common that they use three types of immigration threat narratives (Hogan and Haltinner 2015). Acc0rding to this study, right-wing populist parties share stories proposing that immigrants are either an economic, security or culture threat.…”

A growing number of people use social media to seek information or coordinate relief activities in times of crisis. Thus, social media is increasingly deployed by emergency agencies as well to reach more people in crisis situations. However, the large amount of available data on social media could also be used by emergency agencies to understand how they are perceived by the public and to improve their communication. In this study, we examined the Twitter communication about the German emergency agency "Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe" by conducting a frequency, sentiment, social network and content analysis. The results reveal that a right-wing political cluster politically instrumentalised an incident related to this agency. Furthermore, some individuals used social media to express criticism. It can be concluded that the use of social media analytics in the daily routine of emergency management professionals can be beneficial for improving their social media communication strategy.

“…For some parties, specifically in the Netherlands and the US, the relation between the populist radical right party and its leader differs from the traditional forms of representation. In the case of Trump this is obvious; we can hardly call the Republican Party a populist radical right party, whereas various scholars and commentators agree that Trump can be considered as a populist radical right politician (see for instance Greven, 2016;Hogan & Haltinner, 2015;Mudde, 2015). Therefore, we will refer to 'Trump' rather than to the Republican Party in the remainder of this article.…”

The social policy agendas of populist radical right parties in comparative perspective

In many European countries and in the US, populist right-wing parties are gaining ground. The political agenda of these parties is dominated by their reluctant or even out-right hostile position against migration and foreigners and a strong emphasis on nationalist values in combination with an anti-globalisation economic agenda. In most cases, the social agenda of the radical right parties and politicians are more ambiguous and less clearly explicated. These parties rely on working class ‘insiders’ and therefore may be expected to oppose austerity measures, but at that same time have firm opinions about deservingness and conditionality that may sometimes harm the interests of their voters. This article sets out to explore the social policy agenda of radical right parties in six different countries: the US, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. The article uses content analysis of speeches and party manifestos as its main method of data analysis.
