Sean Pye from Torquay, who works for What’s On Publications decided to go for a nice visit to Bristol. During his visit he talks about how bad Bristol has got with a video he posted to X, whilst offering to fight anyone from Bristol Antifascists as he was down on the quay and makes a racist slur.

Darren is a Guildford based "auditor" and apparently under a community protection notice preventing him from filming in Surrey. If this is the case, he's already deliberately breached this by filming police in his home town.

Lastly, we can't forget Nigel Murfin. Nigel has a habit of ending up in the local news for harassing women, but he's currently banned from Exeter after an arrest in one of his attempts to assault refugees outside the hotel in Exeter.
