Anti-racist campaigners call on booksellers to stop giving ‘vile authors the veneer of respectability’
Hope Not Hate is calling on Amazon, Waterstones, Foyles and WHSmith to stop selling extreme material

MAJOR booksellers are giving “vile authors the veneer of respectability” by selling virulent anti-semitic and neonazi hate material, campaigners and MPs said today.

Anti-racism campaign Hope Not Hate is calling on Amazon, Waterstones, Foyles and WHSmith to stop selling extreme material after an investigation revealed a huge amount of far-right hate and anti-semitic works available online.

The group found that infamous race war novel The Turner Diaries, an inspiration for both Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh and London nail bomber David Copeland, was sold by all four booksellers.
