This article is the work of a Christian antifascist who has been researching the growing presence of Christian groups at the recent covid hoaxer ‘Freedom rallies’ in London. We thank them for allowing us to publish their research.

A lot of Anti-fascist researchers have seen the same thing happen over and over again. A mainstream newspaper, local or national, picks up on the far right organising or uses Anti-fascist’s work to write a piece about the far right.

The grifters introduced in this article call themselves the ‘migrant hunters’. These activists aim to capitalise on the nationalist ‘migrant invasion’ conspiracy by ‘exposing the problem’. This consists of showcasing footage of people coming to Dover by boat and the accommodation they stay in, then casting themselves as the hero by harassing ‘migrants’ and hotel staff. The purpose is twofold: to get their footage in the mainstream news and the …

Specifically, these tools have paved the way for an emerging network of far-right ‘grifters’. Dictionary.com defines a ‘grifter’ as ‘a swindler, dishonest gambler, or the like.’ This definition can be applied to many on the far right following the ‘social media influencer’ model, …

This article is about the tale of Kenny Smith, a tale with so much deception, intrigue and betrayal that it’s almost Shakespearian. We’re aware at the time of writing that a big chunk of our readers will be nationalists who perhaps don’t know the full background of this slippery fella so we’re doing you a solid. Smith, a native of the Isle of Lewis (shoutout to Madfwaz!), was once a …
