Thug who abused young campaigners at Brexit Party rally is alt-right lecturer who writes for Tory think tank.

The Red Roar can reveal that a thug who abused campaigners at a Brexit Party rally is Dr Niall McCrae, an alt-right lecturer who writes for the Bruges Group think tank.

In a new video from youth campaign OFOC, McCrae can be seen abusing activist Femi Oluwole outside the Brexit Party’s rally in Kensington Olympia, repeatedly calling him a “fucking traitor” and poking a flag pole at his head.

Another man throws water over Oluwole and is later seen being congratulated by McCrae who shakes his hand. McCrae had tweeted about attending the rally.

The Red Roar has previously reported that McCrae, a lecturer in mental health at King’s College, has promoted far-right conspiracy theories in a video for the Bruges Group think tank and written for the pro-Tommy Robinson blog Politicalite.

McCrae recently condemned “the violent left” after Nigel Farage was hit by a milkshake while out campaigning.
