UK: The Jewish Witch hunt

The Last White Man In North London ~Jez Turner
London Forum (far-right group)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London Forum is a loose organisation of alt-right and
far-right individuals based in London but with regional headquarters across the
United Kingdom. It maintains links with and has inspired similar formations in
the United States.
Meetings held by the organisation have been met with
significant protest by anti-fascist activists[1] and have been infiltrated by
journalists. Prominent anti-fascist groups such as Searchlight and Hope not
Hate have included the group in their research on far-right politics in the
United Kingdom.
History and ideology
The London Forum emerged in 2011[2] as a split from the New
Right, a series of far-right meetings in London which took place in the 2000s.
It describes itself as "the home of the UK alt-right";[3] Searchlight
says the group bridges "the fascist and Tory right".[4] Board of
Deputies of British Jews vice-president, Jonathan Arkush, described the group
as white supremacist.[5]
Forum organiser[6] Stead Steadman told The Independent that
while the group is not "credally defined", it opposes
"globalism, cultural and non-cultural Marxism" and supports
"white ethnicity and its civilization, liberty of expression, and
religious tradition".[1] The group has told BBC News: "The London
Forum comprises a range of people who care about their country and its
demographic future and who wish to register their disagreement with the nigh
ubiquitous enforced agenda of multiracialism and multiculturalism that
threatens to destroy our identity irreversibly."[7] Hope not Hate says the
group's "ideological fluidity" allows the hosting of "speakers
from across the British and international far right. Because of this, it has
links to almost every active far-right organisation in the UK, as well as many
across Europe and North America".[2] The group's events bring together neo-Nazis,
Holocaust deniers, alt-right students and antisemitic conspiracy theorists and
former British National Party (BNP) activists.[3] The group says "Zionism,
the role of Israel in international affairs and the influence of the Jewish
Diaspora upon culture and politics" are "legitimate subjects for
discussion".[1]
The Forum is said to be "one of the organising
hubs" for the far-right in Britain today,[3] with Jeremy Bedford-Turner (a self-described fascist more commonly known
as Jez Turner) as one of its leading
figureheads.[2] said regarding the Forum: "We aimed for the football
hooligans, for elements who weren't really into intellectual thinking. I
realised this was a mistake ... There was a definite need for a leadership
cadre, for a new intelligentsia, for a new mass media".[3] Following a
judicial review brought to the on the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from the
Campaign Against Antisemitism, Turner was arrested in May 2018 for incitement
to racial hatred following an antisemitic speech made in July 2015 in which
Turner repeated blood libel accusations against Jews and said called upon
anti-Shomrim protestors gathered outside Downing Street to "free England
from Jewish control".[8]
In February 2017, Hope not Hate's annual report on the state
of the far-right warned that the London Forum was expanding rapidly and helping
the alt-right to become globalised.[9] However, following a year-long exposé on
the far-right by Patrik Hermansson and legal difficulties faced by the group
face later on that year, the London branch did not hold events since May 2017,
although regional branches have continued.[2]
Prominent speakers and events
Speakers
Prominent Forum speakers have included Holocaust deniers
Pedro Varela Geiss, Mark Weber[10] and David Irving; British neo-Nazi and
National Front activist Richard Edmonds; founder of proscribed terrorist
organisation National Action, Alex Davies and Jason Reza-Jorjani from Arktos
Media[3] and as Richard Miller, a barrister who was barred from practising
after expressing his admiration for Adolf Hitler.[1] American neo-Nazi Matthew
Heimbach addressed the Forum via video link in 2018 as he was denied entry to
the UK.[3]
YouTube personality Colin Robertson (Millenial Woes) gave a
film talk on Withnail and I at the forum, arguing that the film is a
politically incorrect statement against the alleged cultural degeneracy of the
modern day. His analysis was described by James Poulter in Vice News as a
far-right analogue to the Marxist and Hegelian film analyses of Slovenian
philosopher Slavoj Žižek.[3]
Finnish nationalist Kai Murros called in the Forum for a
violent fascist revolution, which would involve brigades of masked blackshirts
"storming universities and dragging academics out into the streets";
white nationalist Greg Johnson called the Forum "the most important
organisation in the British nationalist scene after the collapse of the British
National Party and the subsequent wave of party fatigue".[3]
2015 meeting
A 2015 meeting by the group at the Grosvenor Hotel was
infiltrated by Mail on Sunday reporters. Searchlight editor and publisher Gerry
Gable said the event was "the biggest and most significant meeting of
Holocaust deniers that Britain has ever seen".[11] Participants in the
gathering were not told its exact location; they met at the nearby railway
station and were escorted individually and in pairs to the hotel by former
private school art teacher Michael Woodbridge, who was carrying a book by
British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley and wore a lapel pin with the
BUF logo.[5]
Members laughed at the mention of "ashes rising from
the death camps' crematoria" in Auschwitz; applauded a speaker who talked
of destroying "Jewish-Zionist domination"; mocked the Charlie Hebdo
massacre, describing an African leader at its ceremony as "some
Negro" and cheered at the mention of a brigade of Spanish Nazi-aligned
Fascists.[5] The headline speaker at the event was Spanish Nazi sympathizer
Pedro Varela, who referred to children of mixed-race parentage as "blackos"
and described same-sex parents as "making a monster family".[10]
Former senior members of the BNP and National Front (NF) were also in
attendance, including Martin Webster, John Morse and Derek Beackon.[11]
