Gordon Gee: Intelligence Gathering

This post contains two recordings of phone calls with Manchester BNP organiser Gordon Gee in November, 1990.

Searchlight journalist, Steve Tilzey, dupes Gee into, first, believing he is Terry, a BNP official, and secondly, following a Searchlight article using the intellegience gathered, David Howarth, a BNP security officer.

This recording includes comments on Holocaust News and National Socialism. “JT” is mentioned this is BNP leader John Tyndall.

This recording hears Tilzey telling off Gee for having a mole within his organisation

The recordings may be quiet. I suggest using headphones, earphones or speakers. Turn the bass down too.

ANTIFA: CHASSEURS DE SKINS (2008)

Fantastic French documentary on the anti-fascist Parisian gangs in the 80s.

Members of the Red Warriors, an antifascist gang in France, 1985. Red Warriors used violent force to remove Neo Nazi gangs from France and provide safe spaces for immigrants during the rise of white nationalism and an outbreak of violent crime against people of colour. They formed a squat called “L.U.S.I.N.E” and were considered the most effect gang to counter nazi violence, working to instill fear in their opposition.

The Scrapbook

A massive thank you to CM who sent me a fantastic scrap book of clippings regarding anti-fascism. Another massive thanks to AJ who scanned it for me.

The Scrapbook is a 167 page PDF of articles on anti-fascism from 1977. The quality isn’t perfect so printing it off is the best way to properly view it.

*The Scrapbook*

Scrapbook Part Two is now available! The quality is better than the first but it is shorter. Again it contains newspaper article regarding anti-fascism, racism and fascism in Britain and Europe from 1991 – 1994.

*The Scrapbook Part Two*

Scrapbook Part Three. Shorter than the first, again, this contains newspaper articles regarding anti-fascism, racism and fascism in Britain and Europe from 1989 to 1991.
