QAnon is a conspiracy theory that alleges that there is a Satanic plot aimed bringing down Donald Trump. This new report from the HOPE not hate Charitable Trust traces how the US-dominated phenomenon has adapted and spread across Europe. QAnon's adherents in the UK and Europe have dropped much of the original’s American politics and eccentric jargon in favour of blander slogans such as ‘Save Our Children’ - allowing it to play to anxieties triggered by the pandemic and spread across Britain and the Continent.
This comprehensive examination of QAnon in the UK and Europe is a vital resource to understand - and counter - this dangerous conspiracy theory.
