Last Monday was David Irving’s birthday. He celebrated it from his sickbed to which he has been confined for over year, in failing health. But this year marks another anniversary which, though he will not, we celebrate happily. It is 25 years since Professor Deborah Lipstadt’s victory over Irving in a historic libel action. He […]

UKIP leader in panic mode as branches collapse and demos flop
UKIP Leader Nick Tenconi is becoming increasingly deranged. The man with the megaphone, making a nuisance of himself in town centres around Britain every weekend, is clearly rattled. Under his new, dynamic leadership, UKIP is falling flat on its face and needs picking up before his political suitor ‘Tommy Robinson’ gets out of jail and […]
PA leader Collett in desperate ‘state asset’ attack on Homeland Party boss
Patriotic Alternative, the neo-fascist political entity that has housed and harboured many a convicted criminal, is in trouble and leader Mark Collett has launched a desperate smear attack on one of his leading rivals accusing him of being a state asset. PA’s founding core group included many closely associated with the prescribed terrorist group National […]
George Galloway fields friend of Holocaust deniers in Runcorn by-election
We still don’t know how many (if any) far right candidates will compete with Reform UK at the Runcorn & Helsby by-election, expected to be held within the next few months. Even if Nigel Farage’s rival Rupert Lowe, who presently sits as an independent, decides to form a new and more virulently anti-immigration party, it […]
Right-wing anger as ‘Tommy Robinson’ short changes family of riot ‘martyr’
Or, how a ‘Tommy Robinson’ whip-round divvy-up has fired up a right wing Lynch mob. Can you remember when, before his latest stint in the slammer, ‘Tommy Robinson’ could be seen posing in an ‘I am Peter Lynch’ T-shirt? We all took it at the time as being an example of statements of identification with […]
Patriotic Alternative register political party – under another name
Patriotic Alternative, one of Britain’s most overt nazi organisations, has secretly registered as a political party with the Electoral Commission under another name. EC records show that in November, the Identity Party, with an address in Poole, Dorset, was registered with the Commission. However, the Leader of the party, and its Nominating Officer, is recorded […]
UKIP leader Tenconi to Rupert Lowe MP: Come into my hate-filled parlour
Sitting in a pub with a beer in front of him, UKIP Leader Nick ‘The Kick’ Tenconi makes an offer to Reform UK’s dissident and suspended MP, Rupert Lowe. ‘When you’re ready to get serious and jump on the team for the big win, my line and my door is open, for talks. Call me.’ […]
The end of an era for the anti-fascist movement – Searchlight founder Gerry Gable retires
With the publication of the final print edition of Searchlight, the magazine’s founder and often-times editor, Gerry Gable, has announced that he is stepping back from running the magazine. The final issue, a huge 72-page look back over the magazine’s history and achievements, comes shortly after Gerry’s 88th birthday, and in it he writes that: […]
Fascists and antisemites mourn death of rogue bishop
Last week’s funeral of the far-right, schismatic Bishop Richard Williamson brought into sharp focus the longstanding connections between some ultra-conservative Catholics and a world of antisemitic bigotry, Holocaust denial and fascist politics. Williamson died last month aged 84, a few days after suffering a brain haemorrhage. He had been excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church […]
‘Batshit preacher’ accused of ‘intentionally antisemitic rhetoric’ by his former church
The Anglican Catholic Church in Michigan, which withdrew Calvin Robinson’s licence to minster in January, has accused the far-right clergyman of using “rhetoric that was clearly and intentionally anti-Semitic”. The ACC had been Robinson’s church since last September when he decamped from the UK to take charge of an ACC parish in Grand Rapids, West […]
British Democrats host ‘well-oiled’ Webster
It would be remiss of us not to report the latest outing for one of the oldest Jew-haters in town, Martin Webster, who turned up as guest speaker at a British Democrats meeting in Kent last weekend. Webster, who will be 82 in a few weeks’ time, began his hatemongering odyssey in A.K. Chesterton’s League […]
Wars and culture wars fracture Britain’s far right
Britain’s fascists are tearing into each other with accusations of selling out and betrayal, and big problems are looming ahead of a high-profile conference next month. Searchlight is never surprised when far right leaders place personal ambitions and financial greed above their supposed principles. But the most recent name-calling between Mark Collett of Patriotic Alternative and […]
Britain First’s Nuneaton humiliation
A thousand flags. £10,000 on PA system, staging and a dozen portaloos. Much boasting. Claims that hundreds would be attending. Six coachloads… which turned out to be minibuses. Everyone was emailed multiple times pleading for members and supporters to chip in a tenner for what turned out to be a humiliation. Few did, and now […]
Uniformed nazis parade in Wetherspoon’s pub
Members of the North-West branch of British Movement must have thought they were being rather clever. Just before Xmas they met up in a pub for their regular branch meeting, paraded in their new BM phoenix emblazoned-shirts, then went out stickering streets in the centre of Manchester. They posted all this online, but hid their […]
Tenconi’s fascists flop in Manchester
Reports of planned march and rally organised by the fascists of UKIP were doing the rounds for several weeks. Those of us in the know understood that the new UKIP, under Nick Tenconi, is desperate for publicity and wants to encourage its membership to take to the streets. Saturday 22 February, 1pm, Manchester City Centre. Be […]
Tice sliced and diced as Farage and Yusuf tighten grip on Reform UK
Stung by repeated accusations – not least from former deputy leader Ben Habib, and indeed Searchlight – that Reform UK was not in any normal sense a political party, despotic leader Nigel Farage eventually issued a promise to democratise the organisation and put power in the hands of its claimed 200,000 ‘members’ (not that it […]
No meringue for Lennon – or, how the state is NOT trying to kill ‘Tommy Robinson’
It’s official! The state is deliberately starving Stephen Lennon (alias Tommy Robinson) in his prison cell. Well, almost official. In fact, it’s the current messaging on the rabble-rouser’s Twitter / X account, so you may well be assuming that its status is testicular in nature. And you’d be right, “URGENT UPDATE ON TOMMY’S SITUATION” begins […]
Blobs, swastika tattoos and Zionist spies – new Gaza row splits far right
A simmering feud among Britain’s most extreme racists has again exploded into a war of fierce insults. So far this is only online, since none of the groups involved seem capable of contesting elections. (One of the largest, Patriotic Alternative, is unwilling even to register itself as a political party because its leaders fear scrutiny […]
UKIP and the deranged Mr Bean
UPDATE: Only 24 hours after we posted this story, our UKIP sources called in to say that the party’s ’Heritage & Noble Principles of the British People’ spokesperson, Dean Neil, was reported to have spontaneously resigned in protest over the Bean appointment. One source even specified that Neil was reacting directly to seeing the Searchlight […]
Britain First desperately rattle begging bowls as Nuneaton disaster looms
Britain First are banging the begging bowl rather loudly ahead of their 1 March jamboree in Nuneaton. One might almost get the impression that they are beginning to fret that there aren’t enough funds in the party’s accounts to mount this kind of exercise. Troop leader Paul Golding has been handing out some stick to […]
