"'Director of think tank the Counter Extremism Project, Hans-Jakob Schindler told The National Mr Musk was being irresponsible.

'The statement of Elon Musk that "civil war is inevitable" is a perfect example of the complete lack of responsibility of the owner of one of the key [social media] platforms,' he said."

"Experts like Ian Acheson of the Counter Extremism Project stress the urgent need for tighter regulation of social media. They say it is imperative that those who spread extremism are held accountable. Andrew Fox, an analyst at the Henry Jackson Society, points out that the current riots are a direct result of far-right discourse fueled by fake news."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "The last comparable period of civil disorder in this country happened in 2011. Then as now, the courts acted with speed and severity to try to quell five days of rioting in multiple locations, which traumatised the nation, caused hundreds of millions in damage and injured more than three hundred officers. The head of the Crown Prosecution Service at the time was one Keir Starmer. Now, as prime minister, he seeks again to confront the horrific street violence with the same apparent energy and determination. But can a punitive response work to stop violence that has at times threatened to overwhelm the police? Times have changed, and our criminal justice system is in tatters."

"Sir Ivor Roberts, senior adviser to UANI and the Counter Extremism Project (CEP), also spoke to The Sun about a possible retaliation to this week's developments."

"Lynne is joined by Hans-Jakob Schindler, Co-Director of the Counter Extremism Project. He began tracking and observing Al Qaeda and the Taliban before most people even knew they existed. And now that they’re back, he points out that it’s the same individuals with the same ideology and the same intentions. He's seen and heard it all before, and he doesn’t pull his punches."

"We spoke to former prison governor Ian Acheson. He’s now the Senior Advisor to the Counter Extremism Project. We began by asking him if the police and security services should’ve seen these riots coming."

"An exchange that took place on Turkish soil. […] Germany's willingness – according to DW – to release Vadim Krashikov (a former Russian security service (FSB) officer convicted of murdering a Chechen ex-Georgian officer in Berlin in 2019) and Turkey's role as a mediator were instrumental in made a historic prisoner swap between Russia and the West possible this week, according to Hans-Jakob Schindler, a German counter-extremism expert and senior director of the nonprofit Counter Extremism Project."

CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "Merseyside police were very keen to rule out the Southport attack as ‘terrorism-related’. This was despite subsequent remarks from the Home Office that counter-terrorism police were still assisting the investigation. That muddled explanation will fall on deaf ears. Whether this turns out to be an act encompassed within the dry legalistic definition of terrorism, the dead are still dead."

"'It’s not going to be too long before we find the Milosevic in the country.'
People feel that the Government doesn’t speak for them anymore and this could push them to the far-right, says Ian Acheson, former Home Office director of community safety."
