Hope Not Hate said QAnon’s threat to the UK “remains marginal,” with only a fifth of those surveyed having heard of it and 6 per cent claiming to support the movement. But it warned the far right could look to exploit “significant overlapping narratives”, such as antisemitic conspiracy theories, and said there was also a risk QAnon could obscure genuine child abuse. YouGov survey findings published this week found 50 per cent of Donald Trump’s supporters believe a central QAnon claim that the American president is secretly waging war with the supposed deep-state network of paedophiles. The report tracked how European versions of the movement dropped much of the original American political jargon in favour of "blander" slogans such as “Save Our Children”, with supporters spreading false claims of child trafficking polots alongside conspiracy theories about vaccines, 5G and the coronavirus lockdown.
