is hope not hate the new searchlight? is searchlight still published? is HnH anything at all to do with the SWP??? thanks

 

[SpineyNorman]

Searchlight (Gable) and HNH (Lowles) fell out and split. Searchlight is still being published as far as I know and neither have anything to do with the SWP.

so has anybody got a copy yet?

 

[thriller]

i'm intrigued by this story. someone give an update.

 

[Kidda]

We have a really good story, it's really good, but we can't tell you

That was helpful.

 

[trevhagl]

it's a bit dull with the odd interesting piece , they stirred the shit regarding the Poland/Ukraine Panorama thing though , and i wouldn't like to have braved them loons to get pics /interviews etc

I got a copy, it centers around possible own goal by the BNP in a criminal case against a fella accused of blackmail and threats against Griffin.

so it doesn't give hard evidence to show that Griffin has been siphoning off party funds into his personal coffers?

I don't want to go into details because of board rules about current court cases.

I haven't got a scanner but will ask someone to do it, the article is not up to much but if it is true it should be easy to prove and should prove a major problem for the BNP as a whole.

Might I politely point out that significant background to the current dispute, specifically a just posted time-line of who did what when and to who (as well as analysis of the ongoing Searchlight vs Hope Not Hate civil war) can be found on www.borderland.co.uk

Thank you and goodnight.

Formally, no, but Searchlight have moved close to their UAF front group: eg jointly-published leaflet for Goresbrook by-election April 2012

 

[Deareg]

It is reported in the same paper today that he has been found guilty and told to expect a prison sentence. No press reportage of the financial wrong doings that I am aware of though.

 

[butchersapron]

Yep - nothing in any of the reports mention any LID BLOWING REVELATIONS. So i think we can safely draw a few conclusions...

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I met a lovely old bloke, in his nineties but sharp as a tack, who said Griffin went to France some years ago to hang out with French fascists and he did something to piss them off mightily and they shot him but Griffin concocted some cock and bull story to explain it away. Anyone know about this?

 

[butchersapron]

Sounds like they're referring to him losing an eye from a shotgun cartridge bunged onto a fire.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I would point out that the lovely old bloke is not a fascist and doesn't move in dodgy circles. I can't remember what he did before he retired, but he is quietly intelligent, measured, and not given to sensation and hyperbole and I regard his information as reliable. He doesn't do tittle-tattle. I'll be seeing him again at the end of July so I'll press him for more details. He does hate Griffin though. Probably wasn't keen on fighting in WWII and then seeing twats like Griffin twisting WWII history to suit his own ends.

Well with no supporting info or evidence it doesn't mean much - it's something that Searchlight/linked people have been hinting at with zero info or evidence provided for years as well - no french fascists prepared to say it happened for money, no one challenging his story etc. I suspect the two are related.

Well, apart from the fact that I'm bursting with curiosity about it.

About the eye........the story about him getting shot by French fascists incorrect....did he piss them off? Yes and quite a few others....The shotgun cartridge and fire ..close but not correct. Suffice to say he was fucking about with things he shouldnt have been.
