Britain First leadership was confidently predicting thousands of marchers for its event today in Manchester. It turned out to be considerably less than that with estimates varying between 400 and 700. Only the BBC placed the numbers present at over 1000. This was certainly more than at its previous recent marches in Nuneaton and Birmingham, […]
Grim up north : far-right ‘Manchester Protest’ flops
When Claire Walsh, the organiser of the much-vaunted and much-hyped Manchester Protest, aka National Strike, disappears off to Dover for the main national event you know something is wrong. And today’s shambolic, utterly pathetic “rally” at St Peter’s Square, in Manchester, drew considerable ire from passers-by. If you’d blinked you might have missed it but […]
Outrage in Northern Ireland as loyalists plan bonfire of migrant effigies
Outrage in Northern Ireland. When the Democratic Unionist Party says something is extreme, you know it’s really extreme. Not known for its moderation, in its relationship with the Catholic community in Northern Ireland, or for its views on immigration or lgbtq rights, the DUP has spoken out against a disgusting effigy of refugees in a […]
Reform suspends branch chairman – for reporting concerns to police
Controversy and chaos reign within Reform UK’s Exeter branch, where the party chairman has been suspended for “bringing the party into disrepute”, after reporting allegations of election overspending by his own party to the police. The story centres on Cllr Neil Stevens who is in trouble for overspending to the tune of £170 during his […]
Charlie Veitch and friends attack Palestine march
At a large Palestine march in Manchester city centre today, YouTube clickbait merchant Charlie Veitch and a handful of his hangers-on tried to attack the front of the procession despite being told by police and stewards not to. Deliberately seeking to cause trouble, and obviously great offence, he walked right to the front of the […]
Britain First breakdown in Birmingham
They were outnumbered by anti-fascists, corralled by the police and ignored by the public. Britain’s First’s latest attempt to whip up ‘remigration’ fever ended in yet another humiliating failure. With midday fast approaching, even the most seasoned reporters were shocked by the tiny numbers making their way to the Britain First meeting point outside the […]
Britain First in Birmingham – the final shakedown?
Paul Golding has promised thousands of “patriots” will attend his Britain First rally in Birmingham this coming weekend. There will be “a larger turnout of patriots from around the country compared to our last event in Nuneaton”. That would not be difficult. The Nuneaton march and rally was a total, ignominious failure with just 100 […]
Anti-fascist action in 2025
Some personal thoughts on two successful anti-fascist actions last weekend, and what they can teach us. The past weekend was very instructive as far as anti-fascists were concerned. In Manchester and Birmingham fascists were repulsed. In Manchester, so called hard-core street activists around UKIP leader Nick Tenconi were chased out of Piccadilly Gardens. And in […]
British Movement’s floral tribute to nazi traitor
William Joyce. Nazi. Jew-hater. Traitor. Loathed, tried and hanged after the war for his services to Hitler. Loved, remembered, and eulogised by the hard-core nazis of British Movement who this week laid flowers at his grave. And boasted of it. But hold on, you say. How can you claim to be a patriot, to be […]
Britain First leader staring Brum failure in the face
As Britain First’s 17 May Birmingham demo approaches, co-leader Paul Golding is getting increasingly desperate. His bizarre antics over recent weeks suggest he may be heading for a political and nervous breakdown. He now claims that his last big event, ‘the rally to end all rallies’ in March in Nuneaton, which occupied the corner of […]
Yorkshire fascist wins council seats – but without an election
A huge victory! A stunning success! Total vindication of our strategy! Yes! Set up by ageing nazis whose political careers have been characterised by hideous extremism, bigotry, Holocaust denial, conspiracy-mongering and a good deal more, the BNP Retirement Division, otherwise known as the British Democrats, where older bigots go to die, has actually won something. […]
PA leader Collett in desperate ‘state asset’ attack on Homeland Party boss
Patriotic Alternative, the neo-fascist political entity that has housed and harboured many a convicted criminal, is in trouble and leader Mark Collett has launched a desperate smear attack on one of his leading rivals accusing him of being a state asset. PA’s founding core group included many closely associated with the prescribed terrorist group National […]
Britain First’s Nuneaton humiliation
A thousand flags. £10,000 on PA system, staging and a dozen portaloos. Much boasting. Claims that hundreds would be attending. Six coachloads… which turned out to be minibuses. Everyone was emailed multiple times pleading for members and supporters to chip in a tenner for what turned out to be a humiliation. Few did, and now […]
The nazi who planned a US massacre and helped set up Combat 18
This weekend we remember the victims of the Greensboro massacre in 1979, when Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party gunmen attacked an anti-Klan demonstration in Greensboro, North Carolina, leaving five anti-racist demonstrators shot dead. The main character behind this attack was Harold ‘Chubby’ Covington, the Nazi Party leader. Some of his gunmen involved were arrested […]
