"While we need to deprive the extremists of their safe spaces online, we must not forget about the safe spaces that continue to exist in the real world.

So we need to become far more robust in identifying it and stamping it out across the public sector and across society. That will require some difficult, and often embarrassing, conversations. But the whole of our country needs to come together to take on this extremism, and we need to live our lives not in a series of separated, segregated communities, but as one truly United Kingdom."
