Thousands raised by far right in Dundee ‘migrant attack’ case police say didn’t happen
From the moment UK fascists started to focus on a disturbing incident that happened in Dundee, Scotland, we knew something was wrong.

How John Tyndall helped cover up a racist murder
It is a very long time since I was a Searchlight mole inside the British fascist movement. Over 30 years and how time flies. I only visit the UK irregularly as I’m based in West Africa.
