Ryan Ferguson and his YouTube buddy Harry Jackson appeared before LIverpool magistrates today, denying a string of charges linked to an incident at a Liverpool hotel used to house asylum seekers.

The pair are charged with threatening behaviour, racially or religiously aggravated harassment, and aggravated trespass at The Richmond hotel on Hatton Garden on 12 July 2025.

The venue has been a recurring flashpoint, having faced anti‑migration protests last year.

Aggravated harassment

Both men entered not guilty pleas and opted for a trial before magistrates later this year. Jackson faces additional allegations from August 2025, including common assault on William Brown Street and a further count of racially or religiously aggravated intentional harassment against complainant Haaris Qureshi, which he also denied.

The hearing was brief. Ferguson refused to state his address in open court, responding “no comment” and citing “the presence of the mainstream media”. In the end he gave an address in Derby.

Jackson, whose YouTube channel Jackson Media frequently films Ferguson at events around the country and has over 10,000 subscribers, was warned by the bench after appearing to laugh during proceedings, with magistrates reminding him that contempt of court carries consequences. Both were granted unconditional bail.

Complicated case

Far-right supporters of the two men filled the public gallery, and photographs taken outside the court showed them surrounded by backers.

Magistrates described the matter as “complicated” and scheduled a case management hearing for 24 April.

Searchlight’s voice is more important than ever, and I am delighted that it will now be available to a wider audience than ever before in its new incarnation online. Searchlight has been extremely helpful over the years in exposing the far right, corruption, criminality and the murky links between organised crime and powerful interests in the UK and abroad. I wish Searchlight the very best.

The essence of trade unionism is solidarity, fairness and equality – for all workers – from all backgrounds. That’s why our fight against the far-right has always been part of our movement’s DNA. Searchlight is an incredibly important resource for trade unions and members to understand the contemporary tactics of far-right activity. Their work and intelligence gathering over the years have been incredibly insightful for the work we do, and how we fight the scourge of fascism.

To investigate fascists takes real courage and unusual commitment. The government, police, mainstream media occasionally take a look, but in the UK only Searchlight have kept at it, relentlessly and admirably, regardless of threat or obstacle. It’s journalism that matters. A rare thing.

British Jews have been persecuted over the centuries; British blacks since the Windrush generation of the 1950s; British Muslims, especially after the Islamist 9/11 and then 7/7 terrorist attacks in New York 2001 and London 2005. But until the last few years there has not been a simultaneous threat against all three British communities of Jewish, Black and Muslim Britons – meaning the need for Searchlight has never been greater.

In the campaign against the National Front, Searchlight provided a rich and utterly reliable basis for much ANL propaganda – particularly with reference to the two leading NF figures, John Tyndall and Martin Webster. The appearance of Tyndall in full nazi uniform, drawn from the archives of Searchlight, was a key part of ANL propaganda, coupled with deeply damaging nazi quotes from Webster.
