Openness and globalisation do not necessarily bring greater tolerance, argues MP and the former Home Secretary David Blunkett. Unless the left can offer a sense of belonging, fear and insecurity about change are likely to stoke extremism; the recent successes of the BNP, according to Blunkett, is evidence of that. At the ICA, Blunkett will deliver a short lecture, following which he will be interviewed by Kamila Shamsie, writer, broadcaster and author of Broken Verses.
