It’s local council by-election time in Little Parndon in Harlow, occasioned by the resignation of Labour councillor Chris Vance, who was elected MP in the recent general election. And Reform UK is running an “excellent” candidate in local man Peter Lamb (above) who they say, “lives in the ward and knows it well, and will […]
The patriotism of Stephen ‘coke in the sun’ Yaxley-Lennon
“That thing that we believe in is our country, it’s our flag, it’s our community, it’s our children, it’s everyone around us…” That’s the latest video message from Stephen Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) posted from goodness knows where in mainland Europe. It would all be a touch more convincing if ’Tommy’ actually lived here, wouldn’t […]
Yaxley-Lennon’s threatening rant at Keir Starmer – don’t you dare jail me…
The latest video from Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, reveals clearly that his latest national demonstration, called for October 26th, has nothing to do with ‘Uniting the Nation’, as is claims, nor anything to do with free speech. It’s all about trying to keep Yaxley-Lennon out of jail. It’s a short but hysterical performance – […]
‘Clean skin’ neo-Nazis to infiltrate Nigel Farage’s Reform UK
Patriotic Alternative leader Mark Collett has revealed a scheme for nazi sympathisers with no public record of involvement in extremist groups to infiltrate Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Writing in the current issue of the neo-Nazi ‘intellectual’ magazine ‘Heritage and Destiny’, Collett has set out his grand design for the future of British ‘ethno-nationalism’. Much of […]
Batshit preacher finally flees ‘satanic’ Britain
So that’s it, he’s gone. Britain’s batshit preacher, the Reverend Calvin Robinson, boarded a plane today and swanned off to his new parish in West Michigan, USA. And we all heartily wave him goodbye. His departure was announced this morning on the right wing online New Culture Forum in what was billed as his last […]
When is ‘the accused’ not ‘the accused’? When he did it…
“Staff watched videos from outside the hotel, which was housing about 200 asylum seekers, as violence flared with police outside. Thomas Birley is accused of being part of that violence, the court hears.” The BBC, along with a number of papers, often seems to be arse-covering when there is absolutely no longer any need to, […]

Far-right Reich group members face trial for treasonous plans to grab power
By Dr Kat Williams and Dr Siobhan Hyland. In May, the alleged leaders of the suspected German far-right coup attempt went on trial.

AfD beats governing Social Democrats in EU elections
Despite alleged links with foreign powers and remarks about the SS, leading to France’s National Rally pulling out of an alliance with the party in the European Parliament, Germany’s AfD made significant gains in the Euro elections. Dr Kat Williams and Dr Siobhán Hyland report The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) election campaign for the European […]
The Searchlight secret agent who helped destroy the BNP
The British National Party probably never experienced such a hefty and concerted blow as it did 20 years ago, in the late summer of 2004. About half of the August issue of Searchlight was dedicated to hammering Nick Griffin’s nazi outfit, following through on The Secret Agent, a BBC documentary broadcast in mid-July, which had […]
‘I am proud of you, you are splendid!’
So proclaimed Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni (right), lauding her party’s youth wing, even as a video emerged of its members praising Mussolini and Hitler. Alfio Bernabei reports Barely ten days had passed since the European elections in June, in which Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party consolidated its leading position with nearly 29% of […]
UKIP and English Democrats move closer to hook-up
UKIP’s annual conference, to be held in Nottingham on 4-5 October will mark a new departure for Britain’s fastest-shrinking political party. For the first time this will be a joint conference, held with Robin Tilbrook’s far-right English Democrats. Now, that may not be altogether surprising; the two organisations are already locked into a formal election […]
AfD election victory is win for nazis in disguise
By Werner Klein Germany’s far-right are celebrating their biggest election victory since the 1930s, after Alternative for Germany (AfD) became the largest party in one eastern German state and the second-largest in another. Yesterday’s results have strengthened the hand of the most extreme faction in AfD, the so-called Flügel or “wing”, headed by Björn Höcke […]
UKIP’s madcap plan to stop the boats – all of them…
“If it’s yellow, let it mellow. if it’s brown, flush it down.” That was a water-preserving mantra from, if we remember correctly, California in the 1970s, which crossed the pond when summer droughts hit Britain later in the same decade. We can only imagine that the United Kingdom Independence Party misheard this sound piece of […]
Mixed fortunes for Russia’s far right assets
By Roger Pearce Vladimir Putin’s network of supporters among European fascists are celebrating today after the victory of the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the eastern German state of Thuringia. AfD’s Thuringian branch is led by the Kremlin’s main German asset, Björn Höcke. They will have 32 of their state parliament’s 88 seats. […]
Yaxley-Lennon latest – they’re trying to kill me (honest..!)
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, has been at the gear again. In his latest online missive he rants that our rights and freedoms are being taken from us and he, fearless fighter for our futures, is “gonna scream it from the hilltops” Now, we have to ask: which hilltops are those, Steabhán? MacGillycuddy’s Reeks? The […]
Clueless Clews does a runner
No sooner did we point out that David Clews of the far-right Unity News Network could reasonably expect to have his collar felt for incitement during the riots than he dropped out of sight. There was much speculation that he’d fled abroad but then his name turned up on publicity material for an anti-Nato rally […]
Britain First conference held in a shed…
Well, as we have noted elsewhere, the far-right conference season is upon us and first out of the blocks (appropriately perhaps) is Paul Golding’s Britain First who posted this charming scene earlier today. One of their members seems to own quite an upmarket garden shed, and they have dragged in a couple of TVs – […]
UK fascist groups split over post-Southport riots
By Paul Gale Searchlight readers won’t be the least surprised that the first reaction of Britain’s far right groups after the dreadful murders of three young girls in Southport was to try to make political or financial capital from the atrocity. But in 2024 this also meant several rival factions pursued radically different analyses, whether […]
So, farewell then, Rev’d Calvin Robinson.
The far right’s favourite batshit preacher – big mates with Laurence Fox, Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson (no relation) – has decided to up sticks and quit the UK for pastures new. Or, rather, a parish new, though he won’t yet tell us where it is. He is of course, a ‘reverend’ in the sense […]
