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 his megaphone “Who invited you to my conference?”. That’s right: “…my conference.” Now, that would be a bit presumptuous at the best of times but when you are completely unelected Leader of a political party who hasn’t even yet had to attend an NEC meeting to account for yourself, it really is a bit rich.

Of course, he made sure he was filmed doing this and a video duly posted on YouTube was titled “Nick Tenconi storms through far-left blockade”. What it appeared to show, however, was more like Tenconi ‘storming’ towards the demo hoping to provoke a confrontation and being rather disappointed when the the smiling, chanting anti-racists politely stood aside to let him pass.

Inside, proceedings were, shall we say, modest. As you can see from our picture, the conference room -which at times accomodated both UKIP and ED contingents – had seating set out for only around 80 and according to our sources, less than half of these were occupied even at peak times. The majorlty appeared to be from the EDs. And things must have felt a bit odd to participants in the 11.30 session on ‘UKIP branding’ considering that all the ‘branding’ in the room belonged to the EDs,

But even so, proceedings livened up a bit at one stage when a gentleman ventured that party chairman Ben ‘Rogue Builder’ Walker, sacked as a magistrate earlier this year for deceiving the Ministry of Justice about his criminal convictions, should either be expelled forthwith or handed over to the police.

Walker could barely contain his fury. A few lapdogs leapt to his defence saying he was doing his best in difficult circumstances, but it kind of summed up where UKIP is at, at the present time: a pathetic, shrinking shell of its former self, terminally-ill and barely breathing, kept on life support by the convicted criminals Walker and Tenconi as a receptacle for the remaining bequests left to it by loyal members in UKIP’s glory days.

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.

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.

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.

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.
