By Tony Peters Hard on the heels of its catastrophic annual conference last weekend, UKIP has suffered another high-level resignation. And, as Searchlight predicted back in July, it’s Paul Campbell (above), the party’s Wales Regional Officer who is the latest to decide enough is enough. Campbell’s resignation – both as Regional Officer and as a […]

Traditional Britain Group to welcome speaker who tried to hire hitman
The Traditional Britain Group holds its annual get together next weekend, and its panel of speakers includes one or two interesting characters, given how TBG likes to present itself as an upmarket far-right offering which has had government ministers address it in the past. Most notable this year is Rhodri Philipps (above), aka 4th Viscount […]
‘Lock up the Chairman’ call at UKIP conference
Where to start reporting the farcical UKIP/English Democrats joint conference which took place in Nottingham on Friday night and through yesterday? Well, at the beginning we suppose. Events kicked off, so to speak, with UKIP’s unelected leader Nick ‘Threesome’ Tenconi (above) steaming across the hotel car park towards an anti-racist demonstration gathered there, barking into […]
Homeland Party conference report: oddballs, conspiracy theorists, Tory boys, nazis, racists, libertarians, pro-Russians, pro-Ukrainians, Brexiteers, one man and his dog….
Last weekend in the unlikely setting of a Derbyshire parish hall, the Homeland Party made its big pitch to be the future of the British far right. This is a party that by its own records had only 251 members before this conference, but it’s already overtaking its rivals Patriotic Alternative (from which Homeland split […]
Nothing funny about this Tony Hancock
A nostalgic post on Facebook yesterday, from Mark Cottrell (above, right), editor-in-chief of the self-styled nazi ‘intellectual’ rag, Heritage and Destiny: “I was in Uckfield in East Sussex yesterday” he writes, “so it would have been rude not to pop by and have a look at the old Tony Hancock Print Shop, which was used […]
UKIP Conference: is the rogue builder running out of mugs?
Meanwhile, in Nottingham… At the UKIP/English Democrats conference some UKIP members (at least) are wondering why they never received their eballots for the election of NEC members. After the attrition of the last several months, seat after seat has fallen vacant and by our calculations only 2 out of 12 may actually be currently occupied. […]
UKIP gathers in Nottingham: welcome to the ‘program’
So, UKIP and the English Democrats gathered in Nottingham today for the first day of their first joint conference. And, as well as having to face demonstrators outside the hotel where they met (above), it was not all smooth running. Apart from anything else, the ‘confidential’ Conference ‘Program’ was so confidential that half the attendees […]
Grave concerns met with roaring silence on the far right
Radical changes in the laws governing graveyards may be on the cards if recommendations published on 3 October by the Law Commission are adopted by Parliament. This may even open the door to new constructions over old cemeteries, though such speculation may be jumping the gun a little. England and Wales are fast running out […]
Austrian far right scores election success – and British fascists suck up to them
BY ROGER PEARCE The Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ) has become the latest far-right success story, finishing in first place in Sunday’s election with 28.9%, though a very long way short of a parliamentary majority. Unlike most other insurgent anti-immigration parties, it’s a party with deep historical roots. Searchlight readers will remember two earlier periods of […]
Homeland Conference – a parade of racists and anti-semites, and the occasional oddball
This weekend’s Homeland Party annual conference offers pretty thin pickings when it comes to speakers. We mentioned earlier about two foreign fascists – from Germany and Poland – who will decorate their platform. But, apart from party functionaries and the odd local councillor, the only speaker of interest is Garreth Falls. Who? you might reasonably […]
AfD and allies pitch up at Homeland conference
Attendees at this weekend’s Homeland Party conference will be addressed by speakers from the German AfD and a Polish party which is closely allied to it. Homeland is meeting in Derbyshire, at the Town Hall in Wirksworth which seems to have been booked under a pretext, and domestic speakers include Pete North and Steve Laws. […]
Don’t sing Danny Boy, just whisper that Lois is a London derrière
Well, we didn’t see that one coming: The mayfly-lifespan UKIP leader Lois Perry – who resigned during the general election just a few weeks after being elected – has announced that she is joining Fiore! Italian criminal and long-time Searchlight sparring partner Roberto Fiore moved out of London long ago, and very much runs the […]
‘Batshit’ preacher to skip Yaxley-Lennon rally – he’ll be with ‘real men’
In his last interview before scooting off to the US, ‘Batshit preacher’ Calvin Robinson said he wouldn’t be able to come back for Stephen Yaxley-Lennon’s October 26 rally in London. He would have come back for an earlier date but couldn’t make that one. And now we know why. On that day he will be […]
Fascists offer Homeland to ‘respectable’ far right activists
Britain’s far right is approaching conference season. So we can expect toxic politics of hate to be spewed in all directions, including vicious hatred among former comrades in the now chronically divided Patriotic Alternative. A realignment is under way, with previously “respectable” activists in UKIP and other milder versions of the far right now prepared […]
UKIP leader hit by sex allegations
The feuding in and around UKIP has culminated in incendiary material appearing online that casts doubts about the sexual morality of Nick ‘Christ is King’ Tenconi, the party’s unelected Leader. Three days ago, @ukipunzipped, a Twitter account sent up by UKIP dissidents in 2019, posted screen grabs of a number of sex-related posts featuring accounts […]
Patriotic Alternative hands out ‘political prisoner’ funds to racist thug who hospitalised police officer
Patriotic Alternative have now raised almost £15k for their fund to help the families of ‘political prisoners’ jailed for their part in last month’s racist riots. And needless to say, those they are presenting as victims of unfair ‘two-tier justice’ are nothing of the sort. First (and so far, only) actual handout from the fund […]
On the elusive trail of Nomad Nigel
We see that Nigel Farage claims to spend two days a week in Clacton. With him being such a celebrity, that surely means that dozens of people, minimum, will have cameraphone footage of him strutting his stuff on the streets. We must just be looking in the wrong place for these video delights. Because it […]
Nigel Farage and the end of the world…
Well, you’ve got to hand it to Farage. Battered by accusations that he doesn’t give a toss about Clacton, and that his constituents can’t get a surgery meeting with their MP, he’s announced he can’t hold surgeries because he’s afraid people will turn up with knives, intending him no good. “We’re not in a fit […]
The medical hazards of letting a child push crayons up his nose
National Rebirth Party leader Alek Yerbury has offered up a taster of the Rise Britannia magazine that he is launching next month. Issue 1’s cover looks a real treat. A fat man with almost non-existent calves (hidden by brown football socks) and wearing a shonky shop plush superhero cape and a tantalising see-thru baby doll […]
Reform’s ‘excellent’ Islamophobic candidate
It’s local council by-election time in Little Parndon in Harlow, occasioned by the resignation of Labour councillor Chris Vance, who was elected MP in the recent general election. And Reform UK is running an “excellent” candidate in local man Peter Lamb (above) who they say, “lives in the ward and knows it well, and will […]
