The story in Thursday’s Guardian about the BNP has already been covered elsewhere so there does not seem to be much point in adding to the debate yet. I think I’ll wait and see what tomorrow’s paper contains – the story so far does not have much in it for 7 months’ undercover work. I […]

Paedophile Lobby?
December 1st, 2006 · 1 Comment · Politics
As soon as I hit the ‘publish’ button on that last post I realised that something struck me as odd in this description of a Polish right-wing website: The website urged its followers to collect information about “persons engaged in anti-fascist and anti-racist activities, on coloured immigrants, on left-wing activists and sympathisers and on the […]
End of the line for Redwatch?
December 1st, 2006 · 2 Comments · Politics, Technology
Despite frequent attempts by individual MPs, trade unions and others to put pressure on the Home Office to get the Redwatch site closed down it is still running. This article from earlier in the month suggest that something may actually happen at last. Previously the Home Office has just said that they can’t touch the […]
BNP on the offensive
October 10th, 2006 · 7 Comments · Politics
No surprise to see “offensive” and “BNP”so close together, but I am refering to the fact that we had a BNP leaflet through our door this evening. Actually it was two leaflets – an A5 sheet inside a folded A4 sheet. The A5 sheet is all about Islam. It says “We are not against individual […]

No Pasaran – they shall not pass

The Battle of Cable Street happened on 70 years ago today, on October 4th 1936, when the East End working classes prevented Oswald Moseley’s British Union of Fascists from marching through their streets. The anniversary is being marked by various events on Sunday 8th, including a procession along Cable Street, street theatre, musical performances, and […]
Redwatch again
October 4th, 2006 · Comments Off on Redwatch again · Politics
Todays G2 section in the Guardian had another piece about Redwatch – the far-right website. This time there is a “delegation of MPs and union activists” going to the Home Office to call for it to be closed down. Good luck to them, but there have been plenty of similar calls in the past, going […]

An afterthought
August 2nd, 2006 · Comments Off on An afterthought · Technology
After posting about the playground video, I made a mental connection with an earlier post about Redwatch and Dadsplace. In the case of the Tilgate playground the police and council managed to get something, which is probably not illegal, removed from a website within a day or two of learning about it. In the case […]
A tale of two websites
August 1st, 2006 · Comments Off on A tale of two websites · Politics
The two websites concerned are Redwatch and Dadsplace. Redwatch I have already written about. It is a site which aims to ‘out’ communists and identify them. As Richard S pointed out, the Brighton Argus featured a story about Sussex people featured on the site over the weekend. Dadsplace, on the other hand, is a site […]

Redwatch
July 17th, 2006 · 10 Comments · Politics
The other day I noticed a surge in visits from a site called Redwatch. Surge is probably over-stating it a bit: as at yesterday I had 16 hits from 9 different IP addresses. Not much of a surge really. More of a blip. But I thought I would head over to Redwatch to see what […]

Racism at Bar Med?
July 15th, 2006 · 3 Comments · Life
Last week’s Crawley Observer filled its front page with a story about the police looking into allegations of racist door policies at the Bar Med in Crawley’s High Street. This week it is followed up on page two with a much smaller piece containing the following: A number of clubbers (presumably non-white) have contacted the […]
