I'll do it this afternoon
I was watching this riot documentary earlier and about 6 minutes in up pops Alec McFaddon with a copy of the Morning Star in his hands! Apparently he works with something called Salford Prison Project now but he was one of the main people in TWAFA who were, as far as I recall, the north east bit of Searchlight. They don't get much of a mention in BTF but I was wondering if anyone knew the extent to which TWAFA was involved with Searchlight? I was involved with the short-lived, yet pretty fucking awesome, North East AFA but I was not really fully aware of the issues around Searchlight at the time.
I wasn't a major player as I'm not a good fighter, unlike some of the other comrades who gave very good accounts of themselves on several occasions but I did do stuff like write reports of our benefit gigs in FT and letters to local press etc.
I actually wrote a couple of times to the Sunderland fanzine 'A Love Supreme' but they never published anything at all or even send a reply and I often wondred if it was because the editor was also Alec McFaddon's son. I just want to make it clear I've got no evidence of this and it's pure idle speculation on my part.
