The ‘stay behind’ NATO operation behind the Bologna bombing
The massacre on 2 August 1980 at Bologna railway station when a bomb planted by fascists killed 85 people, including two British students, Catherine Mitchell and John Andrew Kolpinski, will be remembered on this 45th anniversary with the usual ceremony under the clock with frozen arms at 10.25, the moment of the explosion.

Poland’s far right targets refugees
Just as in Britain, the US and Hungary, the far right in Poland is now mobilising around the question of immigration. Over the last month the country has witnessed a number of worrying developments.

Labin 1921: miners lead Europe’s first anti-fascist revolt
The Labin Uprising of 1921, often heralded as the first anti-fascist revolt and workers’ republic in Europe, is a landmark in miners’ history. Taking place in the Istrian town of Labin, now Croatia, then under Italian rule, this often-overlooked miners’ uprising showcased the power of workers’ solidarity and foreshadowed the anti-fascist struggles that would engulf […]
UK bans far-right Russian terror group
The controversy surrounding the UK government’s recent ban on Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 has tended to obscure the act that a far-right Russian organisation, the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM), was banned at the same time. Once considered a fringe nationalist group, RIM has become an international hub for training and radicalizing far-right […]
Mark Collett – Putin’s nazi propagandist
Last weekend, Patriotic Alternative’s führer Mark Collett again took on the role of Moscow propagandist, hosting Evgeniy (Eugene), a spokesman for the Russian Brotherhood of Academists.

Rapist and former UFC fighter Conor McGregor […]
Victory for far right in Poland’s Presidential elections
Right-wing historian Karol Nawrocki defied the pollsters by winning the Polish presidential election on Sunday. Nawrocki polled 50.89% of the vote, narrowly beating Warsaw’s liberal mayor Rafal Trzaskowski who scored 49.11%. No gloss can be put on this result. In the first round of the elections, far-right parties came second, third and fourth. Support of […]
Portuguese elections: chronicle of a vote foretold
Across Europe, election coverage increasingly follows a familiar script: journalists must already have the template and it’s simply a matter of filling in the blanks with the names of the local parties. Portugal’s vote on 18th May was no exception. As the final results came in on Monday morning, the conservative Democratic Alliance (AD) increased […]
Sinister links of groups targeted by German authorities
Large scale police raids and prosecutions in Germany targeting the extremist ‘Reichsbürger’ movement are linked to international networks of nazis and Holocaust deniers that have been monitored for years by Searchlight.

Conor McGregor – a rapist lionised by Ireland’s far right
Conor McGregor’s recent announcement that he plans to run for the Irish presidency has come as no surprise to those paying attention to his outbursts over the last few years.

Leonard “Lenny” Zeskind – comrade and friend
Leonard – he was always Lenny to me – Zeskind left a positive impression on all who knew him. He was forthright, authoritative, knowledgeable, informative and crystal clear. He argued well, gleaning as much that was useful as he could in debate and argument. But he was never a pushover. And he seldom lost arguments. […]
Spanish darling of UK nazis locked up for race hate
A Spanish neo-nazi who caused a public row three years ago when she was allowed into the UK to address a nazi rally, has been jailed by a court in Spain.

The strange tale of the fascist terrorist, a banned British charity and a hoard of gold bullion
Earlier this week, the media reported that the Charity Commission had shut down an ostensibly Roman Catholic-supporting charity, sacked its trustees and confiscated £30,000 in gold bullion.

Remembering Dietrich Bonhoeffer – murdered by Hitler’s nazis
Today marks the 80th anniversary of the murder of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in the final days of the Second World war.
