I have not watched Celebrity Big Brother, apart from a bit of the first one to make sure Teddy Sheringham wasn’t on it, but there is so much written about it that I sometimes feel as if I have seen it. Doing a search on Big Brother stories on the Guardian web site, sorted in […]

7 Months in the BNP
December 22nd, 2006 · 10 Comments · Politics
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 in Horsham
November 29th, 2006 · Comments Off on BNP in Horsham · Politics
The moribund Crawley UAF received an e-mail today from a concerned resident of Horsham. Itsaid: Hi there – the BNP are fielding a candidate in the up and coming Denne Ward by election in Horsham, West Sussex. What can be done to ensure this scum do not even get a toe hold? What indeed? I […]
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 […]

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 […]

Crawley Campaign Against Racism
September 28th, 2006 · Comments Off on Crawley Campaign Against Racism · Life
On Saturday the family made its annual visit to Maidenbower for the Crawley Campaign Against Racism's International Party. This year is the 30th anniversary of the organisation, and I suppose it has to be counted as a success. A couple of speakers referred to the fact that Crawley has well-integrated ethnic minorities with no ghettos […]

Domestic fleas and the far right

Why is it that flea treatments for domestic pets all have brand names that sound like they could be the titles of BNP newspapers? (eg Frontline and Stronghold)
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 […]
