When far-right activists once again halted a Swale council meeting last week, the most striking development did not come from the public gallery but from Reform councillors who later appeared determined to excuse, and even endorse, the disruption. And Reform’s rhetoric is earning them the backing of the extremists who have now twice caused meetings […]
Kent ‘flagger’ convicted of violent disorder
A prominent Kent ‘flagger’, anti-migrant activist and boxer has been convicted of violent disorder but spared a prison sentence despite multiple previous convictions for violence.

Swale council meeting again stopped by far-right disruption
Swale Borough Council was targeted for organised far-right disruption again last night as a Reform UK-backed motion on a supposed “border emergency” triggered chaos at a full council meeting. The scenes were an ugly sequel to December’s notorious meeting, when anti-migrant protesters barracked councillors, hurled abuse, and caused around £10,000 worth of damage to Swale […]
Danny Tommo – a timetable of betrayal
Well, we do seem to have upset Danny Tommo. He’s ranting all over social media, accusing us of lying about him abandoning his auditor mates in France. But he can’t escape the facts.

Reform councillors aim to fire up anti-migrant tension in Kent
Reform UK councillors are trying to stir unrest in north Kent, making common cause with far-right street activists ahead of a critical debate tonight at Swale Borough Council.

Tommo panics over claims he abandoned arrested activists
Our article earlier today about arrested Operation Overlord activists being abandoned by Danny Tommo has thrown Tommo into a panic.

Tommo’s French invasion – all whimper, no bang
The long-trumpeted “Operation Overlord” invasion of France finally landed on the beaches of Normandy yesterday. Or rather, it washed up gently, in the form of about a dozen blokes standing on the sand near Calais, waving flags at the sea while Danny Tommo yelled into the wind. No mass mobilisation. No flotilla-stopping heroics. Just a […]
French authorities ban Tommo’s French invasion
French authorities have imposed a sweeping ban on gatherings linked to the British far-right anti-migrant groups, aiming to block a planned mobilisation along the Channel coast this weekend.

Kent ‘flaggers’ look to turn up the heat on county council
Barely a month after Searchlight reported on the jailing of Sam Turner, the prominent Medway flagger and serial offender is back on the streets, and back among familiar company. Turner, notorious locally for a long catalogue of offences that includes the farcical burglary of Gillingham Football Club, has been released from prison after serving just […]

Danny Tommo ‘planned riots on beaches of France’
The split between Danny Tommo and Raise the Colours (RTC) is turning into a bitter war of allegations. Tommo’s erstwhile comrades have now claimed that he was planning to start riots in northern France. He, in turn, has accused them of lying and raising huge amounts of money which are not being being spent on […]
Tenconi’s sorry UKIP gang in west country fiasco
Nick Tenconi and his goons travelled down to Exeter to meet up with the local far right today. The problem for Nick is that it doesn’t matter which direction he travels, he can’t manage to attract more than a handful of thugs to march behind his banner (and his new Iron Cross flag). At least […]
Danny Tommo’s latest plan to save Britain – invading France
Having broken with his mate Ryan Bridge and Raise the Colours, Danny Tommo has unveiled his latest grand plan for saving Britain: a hastily arranged invasion of northern France, organised via evening livestreams once his children are in bed. In a series of online posts, Tommo has announced he would be spending the coming days […]
Betrayal and ‘sinister’ threats as Danny Tommo splits from Raise the Colours
Last night, Raise the Colours (RtC) put out a statement saying that Danny Tommo was ‘stepping back’ from their anti-migrant activities in northern France. Reporting it, we said that despite the ostensibly respectful tone, it sounded like there had been some fallout behind the scenes. And we were right. Later last night, Tommo himself popped […]
Danny Tommo quits anti-migrant campaign- but did he jump or was he pushed?
Just hours after the French government announced that ten unnamed British far-right extremists had been banned from France, Tommy Robinson’s best mate Danny Tommo, by a distance the number one favourite for inclusion on the list, has announced that he is quitting the anti-migrant scene. Raise The Colours has just posted an announcement saying: “Danny […]
Far-right anti-migrant boat slashers banned from France
French authorities have issued territorial bans on ten British far-right activists, barring them from entering or remaining in France after months of anti-migrant actions along the Channel coast.

The far-right past of a fallen flagger
The recent death of “Operation Raise the Colours” activist and “ex-football hooligan” Paul Lumber in Bristol, falling to his death while fixing a St George’s flag to a lamp post, received nationwide coverage, some of which painted him as a patriotic family man who had undergone a profound redemption. The truth is rather different: Lumber […]
‘MissusKent’ calls for copycat attacks on council meetings
Jodie Scott, aka MissusKent, is calling on her followers across the country to disrupt council meetings in the way a meeting at Swale in Kent was disrupted before Xmas. Scott, who has apparently realised it’s pointless trying to hide behind her “MissusKent” moniker now that everyone knows her real name, has posted online exhorting anti-migrant […]
