Coronation Street extremist storyline sparks Ofcom complaints as Max groomed

Coronation Street has garnered over 100 Ofcom complaints for its extremist storyline.

Max Turner (Paddy Bever) is being groomed by Griff and his far-right friends, as the teenager becomes increasingly isolated from his family. He has been struggling with school bullies but found a 'friend' in Griff after the activist stood up for him.

In recent scenes, Max has got the attention of a young lady, who is part of the plan to groom Max and get him to use his technology skills to work on their far right propaganda. Max has been struggling since he learned a refugee was given a place at his school, Weatherfield High, whilst there wasn't any space for him to return to the establishment.
