The Tommy Robinson fanboys who make up the far-right, self-styled Voice of Wales are holding a public event in south Wales this Saturday with a dazzling array of fruitbats and convicted crooks on the platform.

VoW is run by two UKIP activists, who double up as wannabee mates of Tommy Robinson.

One, Stan Robinson (no relation) is a veteran right-wing activist who boasts of being involved in the Freedom Association’s Operation Pony Express, a union-busting operation in the late 1970s to break the strike of underpaid Asian women at the Grunwicks film processing labs in London. He is presently on the NEC of UKIP.

The other, Dan Morgan, is a convicted fraudster who should by rights be in jail. Two years ago he was convicted for being part of a sophisticated telephone-fraud operation which robbed hundreds of elderly and vulnerable people of their savings.

No-one was more surprised than him when he was only given a suspended prison sentence.

Both travelled to Spain to meet up with Tommy Robinson while he was on the run last year, and travelled back to the UK with him

On the platform they will be welcoming:

Richard Taylor: now the Welsh leader of Ben Habib’s Advance UK, but also a self-confessed former crook with dozens of convictions behind him for drug abuse, drunkenness, theft, burglary, stealing cars and violence.

Then he ‘found Jesus’ in prison. He left Reform UK last year over its failure to support Tommy Robinson.

Bishop Ceri Dewar: noisy supporter of UKIP. Not a bishop in any church you would immediately recognise, and the sole director of Ceirion H. Dewar Ministries Ltd. Describes himself, modestly, as “Bishop, Creator of CDTV, TV & News Contributor, Author & International Speaker”.

In 2012 he was sued by an old age pensioner who had loaned him £1000 to pay a motoring fine. She had to go to court to get the money returned.

Andrew Bridgen: the increasingly deranged and conspiracy-obsessed former Tory MP.

Catherine Blaiklock: Founder of the Brexit Party which she claims was stolen from her by Nigel Farage. Most recently connected with Robin Tilbrook’s English Democrats when they were funding election candidates for the neo-Nazi Patriotic Alternative.

David Atherton: Far-right online ‘journalist’ with a huge following. But has a penchant for making claims about opponents which they believe to be defamatory, and is now desperately trying to raise funds to defend two libel actions.

David Atherton – knows a thing or two about propaganda…

Their publicity is a bit coy about the venue: in fact the event will be held at the Coed Ely Constitutional Club in Tonyrefail where they have met before.

And a wonderful time will be had by all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
