Tommy Robinson’s hyper-agitated behaviour during his Dubai confrontation with boxer Ty Mitchell has prompted much speculation about the possible cause of his super-energised condition. Indeed, it is the same question we asked about some of the videos he posted (usually from abroad) last year during and after the Southport riots. In one particularly paranoid post […]

Arrests follow far-right attack on council meeting
Two people have now been arrested arising out of the disruption of a Swale Borough Council meeting two weeks ago.

Tesla tantrum – Fash Harry’s mate rages against reality
Following our reports on ‘Fash’ Harry Hilden’s inauspicious anti-migrant demo in Folkestone recently, followed by last Saturday’s UKIP march in Dover, Searchlight supporters have been in touch to add delicious detail to the colourful tapestry that is the saga of Shaun Chaney, driver of the wraparound racist Tesla which headed up both demonstrations. Chaney’s Facebook […]
From Searchlight 40 years ago – Hurd’s ‘no change’ policy on Italian terror cell
The presence in the UK of wanted Italian fascist fugitives was a running scandal throughout the 1980s and 1990s. They arrived here to avoid the crackdown which followed the bombing of Bologna railway station in 1980 and stayed here, making huge amounts of money from dodgy accommodation and employment agencies, till their prison sentences expired […]
Second covid denier jailed for encouraging terrorism
A judge has sent a Covid ‘sceptic’ to prison in the second pandemic ‘encouragement of terrorism’ case heard at the Old Bailey in just over a year.

Football club condemns nazi salutes and SS banner
Masked football ‘ultras’ in Kirkcaldy sparked outrage after posing with nazi salutes and an SS flag. Around 40 masked men, styling themselves as “Raith Rovers Ultras,” were photographed outside Kirkcaldy Townhouse on Saturday, giving Nazi salutes and brandishing a flag emblazoned with the SS insignia. No connection The image, widely circulated on social media, was […]
Reform welcomes endorsement from thousand-men-a-day sex worker
The Guardian’s John Crace described it as a “black swan event”. Keir Starmer launched a joke at Prime Minister’s Questions and, improbable though this sounds, it actually landed. MPs from every party except Reform UK were, if not quite rolling in the aisles, audibly gleeful. The cause of the chortles (and even a few guffaws) […]
The far-right candidate for London mayor – based in Dubai
Ant Middleton has spent recent months presenting himself as the man to “fix London” as he pitches voters to elect him as its next mayor. Which is odd, because the former soldier and television personality does not live in the capital – or anywhere in the United Kingdom, come to that. In fact, Middleton is […]
Chile’s far-right president: heir to the dictator
In a stunning political shift, far-right candidate José Antonio Kast has been elected as Chile’s next president with 58% of the vote in a decisive runoff against left-wing candidate Jeannette Jara. This election is not just as a change in leadership, but a pivotal choice between two distinct visions for Chile’s future. Kast’s personal and […]
Mother and daughter face jail for torrent of online neo-nazi hate
A Scottish mother and daughter are facing prison after waging a campaign of neo-nazi propaganda, racist abuse and conspiracy theories online.

Anti-migrant organiser who looted football club is jailed
One of the main organisers of anti-migrant marches in Kent has been jailed after being convicted of harassing Labour Party canvassers and a series of motoring offences.

UKIP in Dover – big banner hides Tenconi’s blushes
If the turnout for yesterday’s London event organised by Tommy Robinson was modest, the numbers for Nick ‘Taco’ Tenconi’s day out in Dover were positively embarrassing. Only around three dozen bothered to respond to his call to ‘take back Dover’ and a good number of those were shipped in from elsewhere. The result was another […]
Bondi Beach terror attack – what we know so far
Sydney’s Bondi Beach was a site of horror on Sunday evening when gunmen opened fire on crowds gathered for a Jewish celebration in what police believe was an attack by Islamic extremists. At least 12 people were killed and 29 others injured, among them a child and two police officers. One suspected gunman was shot […]
Tommy Robinson’s Christmas spirit – monetising the manger
London’s Whitehall echoed with carols today, as Tommy Robinson staged what he called a Christmas revival, complete with hymn sheets and nationalist flags. But beneath the glow of the fairy lights that bedecked his stage, this was just Robinson’s latest grift dressed up in seasonal wrapping paper. Robinson insists he’s “putting Christ back into Christmas,” […]
Courts want £100k from Tommy Robinson – the money hunt begins
The festive season was brightened up immeasurably this week by the sight of Tommy Robinson on the phone at the airport on his way back from Norway, being told that court bailiffs are chasing him for £103,000. The bailiffs had already, he was informed, been to his parents’ house where they believed he was living. […]

The attack by far-right anti-immigration thugs on the Swale Borough Council meeting on Wednesday has been denounced in the House of Commons by the local MP.

Exeter Tory councillor defects to Reform – what took her so long?
For years, Alison Sheridan has been a familiar figure on Exeter’s political fringe, first as a UKIP organiser and later with the Brexit Party. Known as a prominent right-wing activist, she has built a reputation on strident opposition to asylum seekers, foreigners, and left-wing politics – a stance somewhat at odds with Exeter’s vibrant, multiracial […]
Mr Christopher Chandler
In an article published on 19 November, entitled ‘Matthew Goodwin and Reform UK’s push into British campuses’, we referred to connections between Matthew Goodwin and the Legatum Institute. The Institute is funded by the Legatum Foundation, itself controlled by Christopher Chandler and his partners at the Legatum Group. In the article we referred to allegations […]
Council offices smashed up during ‘sanctuary’ debate
Council offices were vandalised and seriously damaged when anti-immigration protestors disrupted a meeting of Swale Borough Council yesterday as it debated joining the District of Sanctuary scheme.
