James O'Brien analyses Tommy Robinson and Nigel Farage's influence on the riots | LBC

After the jailing of a woman encouraging a mosque to be blown up, James O'Brien says we cannot be 'intellectually smug' in assuming that we won't fall to online 'radicalisation' and 'dangerous conspiracy theories'.
Julie Sweeney from Cheshire made the comments in a local community Facebook group from her home in Church Lawton, which was later reported to the police.
She pleaded guilty to sending a communication to convey a threat of death or serious harm.
More than 1,000 arrests have been made in connection with the recent nationwide unrest - with the figure now standing at 1,024.
A total of 372 adults have now been charged in connection with the recent disorder, as well as at least 65 people under the age of 18.
Violent disorder was sparked following the killing of three girls in Southport.
So far, 69 adults have been sentenced, with 64 having been jailed.
