MARK SCHOLL reports on events in Southport, Merseyside, and of being far too close to the tragic, awful events that unfolded… Monday morning. A sunny, Summer day. I check the news. Habit. Stomach churns. Panic spreads throughout my body. Stabbing attack in broad daylight in the coastal town of Southport. Where my daughter and grandchildren […]
Robinson skips the country
So, after being released on unconditional bail last night, despite being arrested trying to flee abroad to avoid jail, Tommy Robinson has managed to skip the country after after all. He was due to appear in court this morning to answer a charge of contempt for breaching an injunction relating to a libellous documentary which […]
Tommy Robinson charged under Terrorism Act
Tommy Robinson was arrested yesterday morning and charged with an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000. It appears this is related to his refusal to give up the pin code for his mobile phone, which is an offence under Schedule 7 of the Act. It was a similar refusal which earned Britain First leader Paul […]
‘Delusional’ ex-UKIP Leader ‘tells all’ …
So, Lois Perry finally recovers her health sufficiently to appear on Andre Walker’s online TV chat show and “tell all” about her resignation as UKIP leader mid-election campaign, after only 34 days in the job. And, frankly, ‘delusional’ doesn’t remotely do it justice. Firstly, she claims that the main reason she left was that there […]
Collett-Yerbury feud gets personal
The battle between Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative and Alek Yerbury of National Rebirth Party, is becoming very bitter and very personal. Yesterday, Collett (pictured right) went online to accuse Yerbury’s partner, Kate Fanning (pictured left) of being a grass. This, it seems, is because she went to the police when some kind of threat […]
Gloves coming off in fight for leadership of UK nazi movement
Hostilities show no sign of abating between the principal rivals for leadership of the neo-Nazi movement, Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative and new kid on the block, Alek Yerbury of the National Rebirth Party. It is barely more than a week since they locked horns in an online debate over future strategy for the movement. […]
Short lived UKIP Leader promises to “tell all”…
Well, look at this. Short-lived UKIP Leader Lois Perry “is back”. And in the pink, it would appear. And now she’s promising to “tell all” on Talk TV on Thursday. She’s referring, of course, to her sudden resignation as Leader, announced in the early hours of the morning, just a few weeks after being elected […]
Bungle in the Rumble: Mark Collett and Alek Yerbury trade blows in fash fight
By Mark Scholl Seventy years of hurt. Perpetual failure. Never had an MP elected. Scraped two MEPs in 2009 via the proportional voting system. Offer nothing except hatred and violence. Communities under attack. Ethnic minorities targeted. Terrorist plots failed. This is the miserable history of Britain’s extreme right. Its current representatives include Patriotic Alternative led […]
UKIP – an onward march to the gutter and oblivion
It really is becoming bit embarrassing reporting on the latest absurd goings on in that retirement home for right wing geriatrics and conspiracy nut jobs that goes by the name of the United Kingdom Independence Party as it continues its journey into the gutter of politics and oblivion. As we have recently reported, members have […]
Far right pulling out the stops for Robinson’s rally
Britain’s far right is falling in behind the Luton leprechaun ‘Tommy Robinson’ to build his 27 July rally in Trafalgar Square. Amongst those gathered this week in an office in Fleet St to discuss how to promote the event were Laurence ‘Looza’ Fox, Katie Hopkins, Calvin Robinson, UKIP leader Nick Tenconi, former leader Gerard Batten, […]
New Attorney General was youthful Searchlight volunteer.
Britain’s fascists are getting a bit exercised by Keir Starmer’s appointment of Richard Hermer, KC, as the new Labour government’s Attorney General. For Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative, it is enough that Mr Hermer is proudly Jewish to provoke a disapproving comment. However, had he managed to read to the end of the Jewish Chronicle […]
Irish criminal calls on UK government to… er… deport more foreign criminals
We see that Tommy Robinson has decided to have a moan about early prisoner releases (to help with overcrowding). We feel confident that he will be talking out of the other side of his arse soon enough. Robinson (aka Stephen Yaxley Leprechaun) is pretty good at getting himself banged up. We don’t mind betting that […]
Loyalists have short memory of Farage betrayal
Well, after one act of backstabbing betrayal by Nigel Farage today – dumping his deputy leader Ben Habib – we are now reminded of another: Traditional Unionist Voice MP and party leader Jim Allister (pictured) has announced he may sit with Reform UK in the Commons and accept the Reform whip. According to the BBC: […]
Final farewell from UKIP Party Director
Well, as we predicted, recently departed UKIP Party Director and NEC member Pat Mountain has now also resigned her Directorship of UKIP Ltd, the company which controls the party, and indeed as a party member. So, it’s an angry goodbye from her, the latest in a long list of high level departures, as concerns about […]
White Nationalist Motown Meltdown
By Chuck Tanner and Devin Burghart, IREHR On 15 June, influential white nationalist “Groyper” leader Nick Fuentes attempted to hold a fourth version of his America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC IV) in Detroit, Michigan. It was his latest move to pull the right in a more antisemitic and fascist direction. Amidst the chaos of […]
UKIP fallout: Party Director Pat Mountain runs for the hills…
The dramatic demise of UKIP continues unabated: another long serving, senior party loyalist has cut and run for the hills in the wake of the party’s disastrous election campaign and the fallout from it. Pat Mountain, UKIP’s Party Director, has over the last few days been airbrushed out of all leadership positions recorded on the […]
Knives being sharpened after extreme right election disaster
By Paul Gale As the dust settles on an election campaign which for them was universally catastrophic, the UK’s extreme right is licking its wounds and eyeing up potential targets for blame. The main factor behind their dire performance, of course, was the involvement of Reform UK especially after Farage announced his candidacy in Clacton […]
The election: breakthrough for Farage, disaster for the rest of the extreme right.
By Paul Gale It’s understandable for Labour Party members to be euphoric this morning. And anti-fascists outside Keir Starmer’s party might also be tempted to join in the celebrations and avoid looking too closely at the overnight results. That would be a mistake. After years of deliberate pandering to culture war rhetoric (in other words, […]
As the UK goes to the polls, fascists wet their lips at prospect of Tory collapse
By Paul Gale After all the flags of convenience, dog-whistles and evasions of this election campaign, how does the British far right look on polling day, and what are its plans for the new Parliament? We can start by looking at one constituency that British fascists have been heavily publicising this week. Leigh and Atherton […]
Yerbury outflanks Patriotic Alternative boss Collett and sets public showdown
By Paul Gale Alek Yerbury, founder and leader of the National Rebirth Party, and the chap with a penchant for pencil moustaches and military-style great coats, has again put pen to paper to offer a comment for the Searchlight website. Now, it has to be said that Mr Yerbury is, by a considerable distance, the […]
