When the Home Secretary banned the French racist Renaud Camus from travelling to the UK to speak at tomorrow’s conference of the fascist Homeland Party, Camus revealed that he had also been due to speak at the Oxford Union during May. There was no confirmation from the Union, and this term’s events had not yet […]

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. […]
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 […]
‘Intellectual’ magazine brings together dregs of British nazism
Mark Cotterill, editor of Britain’s self-styled ‘intellectual’ nazi magazine Heritage and Destiny, is plainly enjoying playing mein host to social gatherings of the dregs of British national socialism. Two recent events in less than a fortnight brought together veteran fascists, Ulster Loyalists – including some with records of serious violence – and former members of […]
Nick Griffin launches new ‘Christian’ party
Failed BNP führer and twice-bankrupted Nick Griffin chose Easter Sunday to launch his latest political party. That might seem strange timing. England is just ten days away from county council elections, when real political parties are competing at the ballot box. However, Easter Sunday this year also happened fall on a date celebrated by nazis […]
Homeland Party – the anatomy of a split
The great Homeland Party split (reported by Searchlight as it unfolded during the Easter weekend) has hardened within the past 24 hours. 2025 is starting to look very much like 1980. After the 1979 general election setback, the National Front split in several directions, then split again in 1983-4, and again in 1986-7. Four way […]
Crisis in Homeland Party as leading figure quits
Steve Laws, one of the leading and most high-profile members of the Homeland Party, has resigned from the party in protest following the appointment of a controversial figure as the party’s Northern Ireland Organiser. But he has launched a much wider attack on the leadership which reflects a deeper split in the party. Laws was […]
‘Gay’ row threatens to split Homeland Party
Following our report yesterday, Homeland Party leader Kenny Smith’s Easter has got even worse. On Thursday night Smith lost his star speaker Renaud Camus due to a Home Office banning order. And tonight, a second speaker at the Homeland Party’s upcoming Remigration Conference has thrown his leader under a bus. There has even been talk […]
Reprieve for nazi land buying scheme
Sadly, we have to report that the Woodlander Initiative, the neo-Nazi land buying scheme which looked like it might be shut down, seems to have earned a reprieve. We reported two days ago that the scheme to purchase land around the UK to establish ‘white enclaves’ was being threatened with closure by the Registrar of […]
Homeland Party blow as star speaker is banned
It’s going to be a long Good Friday for Kenny Smith, leader of what he calls the “sensible nationalist” Homeland Party, after he suffered two serious setbacks in the past 24 hours. First, the star speaker at Homeland’s remigration conference, one of Europe’s most infamous Islamophobes, was barred from the country on the Home Secretary’s […]
When We Started Working Together
Yesterday, Searchlight heard the dreadful news that Lenny Zeskind had died. Lenny was one of our closest and dearest friends, comrades and collaborators. He was a giant of the anti-fascist and anti-racist movement in the United States over many decades, and his loss is inestimable. For many years Lenny was Searchlight’s US correspondent. He also […]
Neo-nazi ‘white homelands’ money and land may be confiscated
A neo-nazi scheme which raised thousands of pounds to buy land all over the UK to establish white enclaves seems to have hit serious problems. The Woodlander Initiative (TWI), run by Simon Birkett (aka Woodlander), has so far raised over £150,000 from extremists in the UK, some of which has already been used to buy […]
The cheek of Old Nick…
“Every metric at UKIP is being smashed. New members are joining in healthy amounts, our candidates list is steadily growing, investment is being sought at every opportunity, and our support base is not only growing but pro-actively asking how they can help develop and campaign for the party’s purple wave now sweeping the United Kingdom”. […]
UKIP Chairman in denial about his criminal convictions
UKIP Chairman Ben ‘Rogue Builder’ Walker appears to be in a strange and inexplicable state of denial about his criminal convictions. A UKIP admirer (and boy does she admire him!) who appears on X (Twitter) as @Tammy8762535565, posted recently her passionate belief that Ben is some kind on patriotic superhero: There was a lot of […]
Is ‘Tommy Robinson’ having second thoughts about UKIP link-up?
One man who will be hoping desperately that Tommy Robinson wins his appeal against sentence and gets out of jail soon, is UKIP’s so-called ‘leader’ Nick Tenconi. We say ‘so-called’ because at the moment he is performing not so much as a leader as a complete clown. This matters because, before he was banged up, […]
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. Isabel Peralta, leader of the Sección de Asalto (Assault Section) group, was charged following an unauthorised anti-immigration demonstration outside the Moroccan Embassy in 2021. […]
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 […]
Review: Celebrating Billie Holiday, jazz great and civil rights activist
A great night at the Jazz Café, Camden, on 7 April when we were transported back to the Jim Crow era and Billie Holiday’s concerts at Carnegie Hall in 1956, with Riketté Genesis really embodying Holiday and Alex Webb on piano with a fantastic band supporting. Holiday was born on 7 April 1915. Webb read […]
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 […]
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. The killing of Bonhoeffer, a German theologian and […]
