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 […]

‘Tommy Robinson’ hints at link up with Habib’s Advance UK
Well, that didn’t take long. Only a few days ago we suggested that Tommy Robinson had given up the idea of a hook up with UKIP and might be seeking to link up with Ben Habib’s Advance UK instead. And today Robinson – real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – has signalled that this might indeed be […]
UK bans far-right Russian terror group
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 […]
Mark Collett – Putin’s nazi propagandist
Last weekend, Patriotic Alternative’s führer Mark Collett again took on the role of Moscow propagandist, hosting Evgeniy (Eugene), a spokesman for the Russian Brotherhood of Academists. A fortnight previously this Russian student “Brotherhood” broadcast an interview with Elon Musk’s racist father Errol, who is touring Russia spouting Putin’s propaganda for the benefit of the international […]
Top ‘Tommy Robinson’ organiser joins Ben Habib’s Advance UK
One of Tommy Robinson’s main organisers, Richard Inman, has publicly joined up with Ben Habib’s new Advance UK party, abandoning UKIP where he was a member of the NEC. Inman has been at Robinson’s side since the days of the Football Lads Alliance, which hoovered up the remnants of Robinson’s English Defence League. Thrown out […]
Homeland Party – are the wheels coming off?
It’s becoming a summer of discontent for all three contenders for the führership of British nazism. Alek Yerbury is well ahead of all competitors in the Hitler-lookalike contest, but as we recently reported, his admission that Searchlight is 99% correct about corruption on the far right hasn’t made him many friends. Long before Yerbury changed […]
Tommy Robinson on holiday with Southport riot instigator
Ever since we reported on Tommy Robinson’s various post-prison vacations, people have been asking who he is actually enjoying his holidays with. Well, now we know. His Tenerife holiday companion is Danny Tommo, aka Daniel Thomas, a man who more than anyone was responsible for inciting last August’s Southport riots. Over the last few days […]
Apology and correction
Last Sunday (22 June) we ran an article about right-wing photographers who were taking pictures of people attending left-wing or anti-fascist demonstrations. Two of those pictured, including the person captioned number 2, have contacted us to say they have no involvement with the far right. Others have contacted us on their behalf. We are happy […]
‘Searchlight is 99% right’ nazi leader tells British fascists
In a post that will infuriate many on the far right – not least of all Searchlight’s legion of online detractors – nazi party boss Alek Yerbury has publicly declared that allegations of corruption and criminality made against the far right by anti-fascists are ‘99% right’. Yerbury is already known for his blunt attacks on […]
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. Coming on the heels of a similar rally in Cork two weeks ago, it attracted roughly 2,500 protestors. Unhappy with Ireland’s immigration and […]
‘Wrecked’ Tommy Robinson sunning himself in Tenerife
“I came out of prison all guns blazing after 7 months in solitary and in all honesty it’s hit me & I feel wrecked”. So says Tommy ‘Ten Names’ Robinson, aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Oh dear. So that recent trip to the Bahamas – without the family – has really done for him. It’s left him […]
Nott wanted – Tenconi’s UKIP outed and routed in Nottingham
The ghost of Robin Hood, who stole from the rich, gave to the poor and would assuredly have had little time for the miserable Nick Tenconi, haunted the 50 or so neo-fascist losers who turned up in Nottingham today to waste hundreds of thousands of pounds of tax payers money. They were massively outnumbered by […]
A real ‘Day of the Jackal’ – how a Searchlight mole helped catch a French fascist assassin
The recent death of author Frederick Forsyth has led to much discussion of his best-known work, The Day of the Jackal. Here we tell the story of a real ‘Jackal’; a fugitive French far-right assassin, involved in the very plot to kill De Gaulle which formed the basis of Frederick Forsyth’s novel, who was captured […]
Correction:
Yesterday, in an article entitled ‘Reform suspends branch chairman – for reporting concerns to police’, we wrote that the election agent for Reform UK in the recent elections to Exeter City Council was Mr Robert Sheridan, a barrister and husband of former UKIP and Brexit Party activist Alison Sheridan. Mrs Sheridan is now a Conservative […]
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 […]
Reform UK – where the money comes from
Reform UK had stunning successes in last month’s council elections, out-polling the established parties, winning 10 councils outright and being in minority control of three more, confirming that its opinion poll lead over the major parties is no fluke. It has established itself as a serious electoral entity, and it is clear it can pose […]
Red Lion Square, June 1974 – the killing of an anti-fascist
There is much on the internet about this demonstration, and the death of Kevin Gately. I was there, and this note just adds some personal recollections of my own. On this day, in 1974, at an anti-fascist demonstration in London, Kevin Gately, a student from Warwick University, was killed, almost certainly by a blow with […]
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. Billed as “Ireland Says No”, the event was a follow-up to a similar rally in Dublin in April with many of the attendees of the Cork rally also coming from Dublin. Rapist and former UFC fighter Conor McGregor […]
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 […]
UKIP Chairman crashes out to humiliating vote in council by-election
UKIP Chairman Ben Walker’s social media accounts are unusually quiet today – perhaps that’s because he has just led the party into possibly the most embarrassing and humiliating election performance in its history. Standing as a candidate for a seat on Stroud District Council, yesterday, Ben polled a total of just FIVE votes. Yes, FIVE. […]
