The recent release of a further tranche of Epstein-related documents has once again dragged elite political and business networks into the light, with particular attention in Britain falling on the property developer Nick Candy – also the National Treasurer of Reform UK. The renewed scrutiny centres not simply on historical association, but on evidence suggesting […]

Advance UK’s election campaign hit by backlash over candidate’s sexist posts
Advance UK’s campaign in the Gorton and Denton by-election has been seriously set back after a wave of anger, including from within its own ranks, over misogynistic tweets posted by its candidate, Nick Buckley. The posts, published by Searchlight last night and viewed thousands of times today, contained abusive and degrading remarks about women, particularly […]
Advance UK’s by-election candidate: ‘Many young British women are whores’
Nick Buckley, the Advance UK candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, has posted a series of social media messages where he makes hugely insulting and derogatory claims about women. In May 2025, Buckley wrote on X: “Many British young women are whores but don’t realise they are.” In the same post, he claimed that […]
Advance UK’s by-election candidate is Nick Griffin fanboy
Advance UK’s candidate in the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election, Nick Buckley, is an unashamed and self -confessed admirer of former BNP leader Nick Griffin, one of the UK’s leading fascists and Holocaust deniers. Buckley hosts a YouTube podcast called Nick Talks. A week ago, Nick Griffin was his guest, interviewed at length. But this […]
Tommy Robinson’s cameraman blows gaffe on Advance UK secret launch venue
Ben Habib’s Advance UK website tells us that next Saturday (7 February) the party will host a major members-only event to “unveil the first of our national policies on Restoration & Immigration”. But as for where this historic unveiling will take place, the website is coy, offering only vague hints about a location somewhere in […]
Police and Crime Commissioner censured for supporting anti-migrant protests
Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Katy Bourne, who has aligned herself with anti-migrant agitation in Crowborough, has been formally censured by the Sussex Police and Crime Panel. A formal vote of no confidence last Friday concluded that she has seriously undermined the impartiality expected of her office. Disrepute The motion, passed by ten votes […]
Tenconi’s UKIP clown show ‘walks with Jesus’ but needs a miracle
What made UKIP leader Nick Tenconi think that somehow the Metropolitan Police would change their mind about UKIP being allowed to march provocatively through Whitechapel last weekend? After UKIP was banned and forced to move to a central London location in October everyone (including Tenconi, surely) assumed the march called for 31st January would face a […]
Reform backs extremists causing chaos at Swale council meetings
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 […]
Plug pulled on Holocaust denial ‘summit’
On Tuesday this week a group of nazis and conspiracy theorists tried to insult the memory of Adolf Hitler’s victims by staging a Holocaust denial conference coinciding with Holocaust Memorial Day. They failed, because for once an internet service provider refused to do business with nazis and cancelled their account. Thankfully not every online business […]
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. Fred Ketteringham, resident in Herne Bay, was convicted at Canterbury Crown Court following a vicious New Year’s Eve brawl at the Herne Bay Angling Club in 2022. Permanent damage During […]
Minneapolis stands firm against Trump’s brownshirts
Minnesota is an upper Midwestern state with a history of welcoming immigrants and refugees. In the 1890s, 40% of the state’s population was foreign-born. Today, it’s just over 6%, well below the national average. It has, however, become the epicenter of the Trump Administration’s war for racial purity. In recent weeks, as thousands on the […]
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. Here’s a rough timeline: It’s quite clear what happened. Tommo called out his troops for a pretend ‘invasion’ of France, raised a […]
Australian police investigate neo-nazi threat to PM
Australian police are investigating a kidnap threat against Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, uncovered in a private far‑right chatroom. Members of a closed neo-nazi Telegram group discussed abducting the Prime Minister, and talked of hiring a van and raising several thousand dollars to carry out the plan. Albanese later acknowledged he had been briefed about it, […]
Tommy Robinson’s London ‘white’ lie
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon -the activist who performs as “Tommy Robinson” – is lying again. In a recent post, he presented grainy footage of a 1970s Tube station as supposed proof of a monochrome past. “London was always white,” his narrative implies. But history, the deep and documented truth of our capital city, says something profoundly different. […]

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. They have put forward a motion, framed as a response to a so-called “Border Emergency,” which claims migration is overwhelming local public services. This is a lie, […]
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. This morning we reported that friends and family of ‘auditor’ Reece Grant and the other arrested far-right activist were complaining on Grant’s YouTube channel that Tommo was not responding to appeals for help after the […]
Danny Tommo ‘abandons’ arrested activists
The two right-wing activists arrested in France for their part in the weekend’s anti-migrant event are Reece Grant and a friend of his from Devon. Their family and friends are accusing Danny Tommo of abandoning them. French police announced on Sunday night that two men, aged 35 and 53 had been detained while broadcasting live […]
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 […]
