The controversy surrounding the UK government’s recent ban on Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 has tended to obscure the act that a far-right Russian organisation, the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM), was banned at the same time. Once considered a fringe nationalist group, RIM has become an international hub for training and radicalizing far-right […]

Threats and hate at Dublin anti-migrant rally
A sea of Make Ireland Great Again hats could be seen at a far-right rally in Dublin yesterday, where threats were made against their opponents and a former loyalist terrorist was welcomed.

Big names of Irish far right come together in Cork anti-migrant demo
Around 1,600 anti-immigration and far-right agitators came together to hold a rally in Cork a week ago.

Rapist and former UFC fighter Conor McGregor […]
Victory for far right in Poland’s Presidential elections
Right-wing historian Karol Nawrocki defied the pollsters by winning the Polish presidential election on Sunday. Nawrocki polled 50.89% of the vote, narrowly beating Warsaw’s liberal mayor Rafal Trzaskowski who scored 49.11%. No gloss can be put on this result. In the first round of the elections, far-right parties came second, third and fourth. Support of […]
Portuguese elections: chronicle of a vote foretold
Across Europe, election coverage increasingly follows a familiar script: journalists must already have the template and it’s simply a matter of filling in the blanks with the names of the local parties. Portugal’s vote on 18th May was no exception. As the final results came in on Monday morning, the conservative Democratic Alliance (AD) increased […]
Sinister links of groups targeted by German authorities
Large scale police raids and prosecutions in Germany targeting the extremist ‘Reichsbürger’ movement are linked to international networks of nazis and Holocaust deniers that have been monitored for years by Searchlight.

Conor McGregor – a rapist lionised by Ireland’s far right
Conor McGregor’s recent announcement that he plans to run for the Irish presidency has come as no surprise to those paying attention to his outbursts over the last few years. Having become increasingly vocal about what he sees as Ireland’s immigration problem, he is now seen by the Irish far right as their saviour. Across […]
Leonard “Lenny” Zeskind – comrade and friend
Leonard – he was always Lenny to me – Zeskind left a positive impression on all who knew him. He was forthright, authoritative, knowledgeable, informative and crystal clear. He argued well, gleaning as much that was useful as he could in debate and argument. But he was never a pushover. And he seldom lost arguments. […]
Spanish darling of UK nazis locked up for race hate
A Spanish neo-nazi who caused a public row three years ago when she was allowed into the UK to address a nazi rally, has been jailed by a court in Spain.

The strange tale of the fascist terrorist, a banned British charity and a hoard of gold bullion
Earlier this week, the media reported that the Charity Commission had shut down an ostensibly Roman Catholic-supporting charity, sacked its trustees and confiscated £30,000 in gold bullion. The charity was accused of cheating HMRC out of tens of thousands of pounds and being linked to far-right politics. That much was widely reported. But not much […]

Remembering Dietrich Bonhoeffer – murdered by Hitler’s nazis
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the murder of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the final days of the Second World war. The sounds of the bombardment of the advancing Soviet army showed defeat was near for the Nazis, but their priority was to kill internal enemies threatening them.

Obituary: Jean-Marie Le Pen (1928-2025), a thug and a fraudster
In a lifetime of political thuggery, fraud and nepotism, Jean-Marie Le Pen (who has died aged 96) typified fascist politics. We shouldn’t be surprised that he became a hero for his far less successful British imitators. Le Pen acquired his first criminal record as a teenager beating up opponents on the streets of Paris, where […]
Italian police smash fascist plot to kill Meloni and spark race war
One of Europe’s leading Holocaust deniers, with close links to UK historical revisionists, has been arrested as Italian police foiled a Day of the Jackal style plot by nazi terrorists to assassinate Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni and ignite a race war.

Anniversary of a fascist outrage – and how the NF lauded the man behind it
Fifty five years ago today, in December 1969, members of the Italian fascist terror group Ordine Nuovo detonated a bomb at the Banca Nazionale dell’Agricoltura, in Piazza Fontana in Milan, killing 17 people and wounding 88 more. Other bombs were planted in Milan and Rome on the same day. It was a key moment in […]

Rival nazi groups come together at mystery international conference
On 24 November an international nazi conference took place in Sweden. Only one of the participants – Holocaust denier Lady Michèle Renouf was English, but the speeches were all given in or translated into English, and the event’s title was in English: “European Unity – A Future to Fight For”. It seems that the organisers […]
