We are not going to try to list all the ways in which the election of Donald Trump is a catastrophe. That is being comprehensively catalogued in many, many other places and we all know there is much to be feared. Suffice to say that those who believed that the election of Barack Obama in […]

The nazi who planned a US massacre and helped set up Combat 18
By Mark Scholl This weekend we remember the victims of the Greensboro massacre in 1979, when Ku Klux Klan and Nazi Party gunmen attacked an anti-Klan demonstration in Greensboro, North Carolina, leaving five anti-racist demonstrators shot dead. The main character behind this attack was Harold ‘Chubby’ Covington, the Nazi Party leader. Some of his gunmen […]
Latest ‘Tommy Robinson’ grift exploits his kids
The Tommy Robinson grift gets more outrageous all the time. Now it’s “with Tommy sentenced to a lengthy prison term, his kids don’t have a dad at all” They have almost exactly as much of a father as they had all the time he was gargling cerveza on the Costa Del Trotter. The Ayia Napa […]
“Splits in Reform UK as senior figures defend Tommy Robinson supporters”
The Guardian reports that there is a split in the leadership of Reform UK, over whether they should support Tommy Robinson (see link below). In fact, this has been brewing. At Robinson’s July ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally, when they were asked who had voted Reform in the General Election, almost every hand went up. But, […]
Takeaways from today’s ‘Uniting the Kingdom’ rally in London
A few takeaways from today’s ‘Uniting the Kingdom’ rally in London. Without the presence of ‘Tommy Robinson’ himself, the whole thing founders. Numbers attending seem to be not much different from those who attended in July, and were largely, and predictably, middle aged and male. They had to wait for hours, increasingly bored and restless, […]
Tommy Robinson’s key organiser appointed to UKIP executive
Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) may not have joined UKIP himself but his right hand-man, and the main organiser of tomorrow’s ‘Uniting The Kingdom’ rally in London, has just been appointed to the UKIP National Executive Committee. The tie-up bteween UKIP and his ‘cultural movement’ which Yaxley-Lennon suggested last week might happen, seems to be […]
Another criminal recruited to UKIP leadership
Never let it be said that UKIP doesn’t offer unique opportunities for speedy advancement. After the election in May of Leader Lois Perry, who had only recently joined the party, and her replacement by Nick Tenconi, a similarly novice recruit, recently announced appointments to the National Executive Committee also boast a sprinkling of brand spanking […]
So why wasn’t Yaxley-Lennon arrested when he returned to UK?
Lots of speculation on Monday about the non-arrest of Tommy Robinson aka Stephen Yaxley-Lennon at Luton Airport when he arrived back in the UK on Sunday night. One press report suggested that the delayed arrest warrant issued against him in August had been triggered. If so, it’s inexplicable that he would not have been detained. […]
Veteran hardline German nazi allowed into the UK for fascist rally
Hiding at a village hall in Staffordshire, Mark Collett’s Patriotic Alternative today confirmed that they intend to abandon any attempt at “mainstreaming” racism. Collett has given up electoral politics and intends instead to follow the extra-parliamentary road previously travelled by Colin Jordan’s British Movement, even though similar strategies have already led to the jailing of […]
Open war breaks out in battle for leadership of British fascism
It’s now a brutal bare-knuckle fight for leadership of British fascism. During the past 48 hours open hostilities have broken out between leading figures from the Homeland Party and Patriotic Alternative, with Homeland’s leader Kenny Smith describing his ex-comrades in PA as “a corrupt and disingenuous fringe cult”. In one corner is Smith (above, left), […]
Violent Australian nazi allowed into UK to speak at rally
A year ago, then Home Secretary Suella Braverman came in for heavy criticism when notorious Spanish neo-nazi Isabel Peralta was allowed in to the UK to address a nazi rally. Now, Labour Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has equally serious questions to answer, as a violent Australian nazi with multiple criminal convictions is allowed into the […]
Sacked Farage spin doctor weaves tangled tale of anti-fascists vetting UKIP members
There’s been a whole lot of outrage on far-right online feeds about a claim made recently by former Reform UK (and Farage) PR man Gawain Towler. He claimed that back in 2010, UKIP, then led by Nigel Farage, asked Hope Not Hate to vet prospective members and candidates who might have extreme far right backgrounds. […]
Yaxley-Lennon floats tie up with UKIP
The clearest sign yet that Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, aka Tommy Robinson, and UKIP are planning to link up was given in an online interview with Yaxley-Lennon posted yesterday. Speaking on Tousi TV, the online channel of right-wing commentator Mahyar Tousi, he was asked what he thought of UKIP and its leader Nick Tenconi. He said: “UKIP […]
Traditional Britain Group’s low rent conference in posh hotel
The Traditional Britain Group conference held yesterday in a posh London hotel has turned out to be a rather low rent affair. Not in terms of the venue – hiring the St Ermin’s Hotel in Victoria will have set them back a few bob to say the least. No, it’s the speakers we’re referring to. […]
UKIP conference fiasco sparks another high level resignation
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. […]
