A fascist thief is to receive an award for his crime at the London Forum meeting on Saturday 24 September. David Czerwonko, a Polish chef who has lived in England for two years, was fined £185 at Westminster magistrates’ court on 19 September after admitting snatching a pink beret from the head of the comedian Eddie Izzard.

The incident occurred when a group of four masked men stood in front of a pro-EU march in Whitehall on 3 September, holding a large banner supporting the Brexit campaign. Izzard, who was at the head of the march, was forced to give chase after Czerwonko, 26, dressed in black with a bandana covering half his face, grabbed the hat. As officers pinned Czerwonko to the floor, Izzard retrieved the hat and replaced it on his head.

The court was told that Czerwonko admitted his action was “instinctive and silly” and would not be repeating it. However the London Forum think different. According to their own announcement, their meeting next Saturday will include: “The Award of The Pink Beret”.

The pro-Brexit protest had been organised by Jeremy Bedford-Turner. However his diminishing London Forum fan club could only muster 15 Nazis to oppose the massive pro-EU rally. Then in announcing his next international gathering on Saturday in London, he made a promise he cannot fulfil.

The announcement describes the London Forum as “The home of the British alt-right” and the meeting, at 12 noon, for which tickets are “£20 (concessions available)”, specifies “Smart dress only”.

The pink beret award is stated to be: “A new annual award for a single feat of high-profile, daring, derring-do activism that achieves large-scale publicity. This will be a cash prize, a trophy engraved with the winner’s name and Eddie Izzard’s beret!

“This will be awarded of course this year to David Czerwonko who has set us all such a fine example by, in true PG Wodehouse style, stealing Izzard’s beret as the comedian was leading ‘an ignore Brexit’ march on Saturday 3rd September.”

As Czerwonko failed to hold onto the beret, the third part of the prize is a lie. But we wonder how much cash London Forum organiser Jeremy Bedford-Turner is prepared to put up to reward criminality.

In the campaign against the National Front, Searchlight provided a rich and utterly reliable basis for much ANL propaganda – particularly with reference to the two leading NF figures, John Tyndall and Martin Webster. The appearance of Tyndall in full nazi uniform, drawn from the archives of Searchlight, was a key part of ANL propaganda, coupled with deeply damaging nazi quotes from Webster.

To investigate fascists takes real courage and unusual commitment. The government, police, mainstream media occasionally take a look, but in the UK only Searchlight have kept at it, relentlessly and admirably, regardless of threat or obstacle. It’s journalism that matters. A rare thing.

The essence of trade unionism is solidarity, fairness and equality – for all workers – from all backgrounds. That’s why our fight against the far-right has always been part of our movement’s DNA. Searchlight is an incredibly important resource for trade unions and members to understand the contemporary tactics of far-right activity. Their work and intelligence gathering over the years have been incredibly insightful for the work we do, and how we fight the scourge of fascism.

British Jews have been persecuted over the centuries; British blacks since the Windrush generation of the 1950s; British Muslims, especially after the Islamist 9/11 and then 7/7 terrorist attacks in New York 2001 and London 2005. But until the last few years there has not been a simultaneous threat against all three British communities of Jewish, Black and Muslim Britons – meaning the need for Searchlight has never been greater.

Searchlight’s voice is more important than ever, and I am delighted that it will now be available to a wider audience than ever before in its new incarnation online. Searchlight has been extremely helpful over the years in exposing the far right, corruption, criminality and the murky links between organised crime and powerful interests in the UK and abroad. I wish Searchlight the very best.

Everyone who wants to understand contemporary racism and its historical background needs to read Searchlight.
