Ninety years ago today, Oswald Mosley tried to march his Blackshirts through the Jewish East End. 🧵 He had thousands of uniformed fascists behind him and 6,000 police clearing the way. But the people of the East End got there first.

We go after the people who profit from dividing communities, and we aim to build communities strong enough to shut them out.

It's what HOPE not hate does every day. Our researchers track emerging groups and expose the people behind them. Our organisers work with communities across the country, bringing people together to build something stronger than the division the far right wants to create.

They took apart the lie that Jews and immigrants were to blame for poverty and bad housing. In streets once written off as Mosley territory, people tore up their BUF membership cards.

So antifascists kept organising. They went street by street. They organised tenants, fought slum landlords with rent strikes and stopped families being evicted, including families who had backed Mosley.

A week later, gangs of fascist youths ran down Mile End Road smashing the windows of Jewish shops and the British Union of Fascists actually gained recruits in the weeks afterwards.

The story of Cable Street is an important one. But the fascists did not stop organising, and one confrontation did not finish the job.

The masks and matching black serve the same purpose as Mosley's uniforms: to look like an army and make a community feel outnumbered.

Today they plan to turn up in black uniforms and balaclavas to disrupt a Stand Up To Racism and Trades Union Congress (TUC) anti-racist demonstration in Birmingham. We uncovered the plans in advance and alerted organisers and police.

Last month, around 300 men dressed in black, faces hidden behind balaclavas, marched through Dover with the new far-right network Patriot Platform. Similar scenes followed in Portsmouth.

Months later, Parliament passed the Public Order Act 1936, banning political uniforms in public. That detail matters right now.

Jewish families stood alongside Irish dockers, trade unionists and neighbours from across the community. More than 100,000 people filled the streets. On Cable Street, they built barricades from timber, paving stones and an overturned lorry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFY4...

Fantastic research from my colleague @dlhnh.bsky.social here, blowing a secret plan wide open and naming the key nazis behind it.

Even some on the far right think the plan is reckless. National Rebirth Party leader Alek Yerbury told his members that Turner’s plan “boiled down to just replicating the NSN”, warning of “leaders all facing jail, organisation destroyed”. "The levels of naivete... is dangerous."

1173

The NSC's private Telegram "code of conduct" demands discipline, but reassures members they can "always praise Adolf freely". The group has also adopted the slogan “Blood and Honour”, a motto used by the Hitler Youth.

1215

Also involved is "Chazza" (AKA Charlie), a recent White Vanguard splitter from Birmingham. He is behind The Right Side Podcast, which hosts longform interviews with prominent fascists.

2196

Linked to the fascist groupuscule Vanguard Britannica, Barker is notorious for harassing asylum seekers in Calais. He later became a prominent member of Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain.

1183

Welsh activist "MD" and Luke Jahn, formerly of the Homeland Party and NRP, are also on board with the NSC. While Lorcan Barker, AKA Angloid, plans to film Sunday’s event.

1184

Jared Allpress, AKA Hail, leads Aryan Front, a “racial holy war” group that officially folded in May, citing “raids and arrests”. However, members continue to operate on the extreme right and plan to regroup under a new name.

2207

Turner’s arrival has already caused a split inside White Vanguard. Last month, leader Kai Cunningham was forced out and replaced by Declan Finch, AKA Declan Young, from Havant. Finch is now trying to marshal WV activists for Sunday's march.

1185

Also involved is Russian-born Alexander Zaslavsky, AKA Joseph, another former NSN activist now based in the UK. We exposed Zaslavsky in August for his activity with White Vanguard. hopenothate.org.uk/2026/08/07/w...

1238

The group was founded as “Albion Assembly” by Ryan Turner, a former EDL activist from Manchester who later became a core member of Australia’s National Socialist Network before it was banned. Deported back to the UK this summer, he wants to bring the NSN's militaristic marches to British streets.

1247

They intend to turn up in black uniforms and balaclavas carrying a banner reading "Stand Up For Racism". We have informed the organisers and the police.

1305

Behind the plan is the National Socialist Collective, a new group bringing together activists from Active Club England, White Vanguard, Aryan Front and the National Rebirth Party.

❌ Myth: The far right are “defending Christianity” against secularism, Islam and “cultural Marxism”. ✅ Fact: Church leaders aren’t having it. Churches Together in England said “the Cross and the Gospel must never be co-opted to support messages that breed hostility towards others”.

13310

❌ Myth: Far-right content is simply “edgy”, “provocative”, “banter” or “common sense”. ✅ Fact: It’s not banter, it’s a business. Rupert Lowe has made over £100k from X creator payouts since 2024 (the Guardian). Outrage literally pays.

1132

❌ Myth: Migrant and Muslim men are the biggest threat to women and children. ✅ Fact: The data doesn’t back that up. Over 90% of rape and sexual assault is by someone the victim knows, and white defendants make up 88% of child sexual abuse prosecutions (MoJ and ONS).

1195

❌ Myth: Violent crime is rising, cities like London are unsafe, and immigration is to blame. ✅ Fact: London’s actually getting safer. The murder rate in 2025 was the lowest since 2014, and neighbourhood crime fell 14% in the year to June (Met Police).

1163

❌ Myth: Police run a “two-tier” system that treats white Britons more harshly than ethnic minorities. ✅ Fact: The “two-tier policing” thing is the wrong way round. Black people in England and Wales are 3.8 times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people (Home Office).

1164

❌ Myth: Immigration is a spiralling crisis, with “millions” of people “invading” the UK. ✅ Fact: Immigration isn’t soaring, it’s actually falling. It dropped 20% in 2025 and net migration nearly halved, from 331,000 to 171,000 (ONS). Small boats are only around 5% of it.

Restore leadership steadfastly refuses to “police the membership”, as they put it. This has emboldened ideological racists of all stripes within the party. If Lowe wants people to stop talking about the party’s Nazi problem, perhaps it should start by taking that problem seriously.

1329

Chris Mitchell is a former PA organiser who went on to co-found the Independent Nationalist Network, later joining the National Rebirth Party. He was convicted of hate crime offences in 2023. He has been photographed with Rupert Lowe and ran a Telegram channel dedicated to supporting Restore.

2256

In 2023, James Munro was exposed by HNH as a member of the militant neo-Nazi group Scottish Nationalist Society. He then joined PA and is a founding member of Homeland. After the expose, a local organiser tried to expel him. The leadership intervened and protected him. He remains active in Restore.

"Martin" from Cheshire is a former member of both EDL and PA. He is also a supporter of the international Misanthropic Division neo-Nazi network that aimed to recruit for Azov Battalion in Ukraine. He was photographed at a Restore branch meeting in Tatton alongside fellow PA member Michelle Smith.

181

Elliot Lowe has been photographed performing a Nazi salute and acts as security for Street Sounds Promotions, Britain's most active promoter of extreme-right music. He was a regular presence in Restore's Greater Manchester mayoral campaign and has been photographed with Rupert Lowe.

1102

Keith McFarlane was a key BNP activist and a repeat candidate for the group for a decade. He went on to dabble in the EDL, and later joined Patriotic Alternative, helping to launch its North East branch. He attended a Restore branch meeting in Gateshead.

Nadya Ivana (AKA Aleisha Aurora) is a Restore activist from Nottingham who has posed in an SS hat in front of a Nazi flag and posted pictures of her copy of Mein Kampf, videos of Hitler, and antisemitic comments. Ivana attended a branch meeting in Gedling and posed in Restore-branded clothing.

Dean Phillpott is co-founder of the Kent Nationalist Movement and linked to fascist groups including Patriotic Alternative and Britain First. He also has convictions for a brutal gang stabbing and possession of a gun. He's a vocal supporter of Restore and has marched with Restore-branded banners.

Jamie Waters is involved in the neo-Nazi music network Blood & Honour, which had its assets frozen in 2025 on anti-terror grounds. Waters, who has been photographed wearing an SS hat, was also photographed at a Restore branch meeting in Plymouth.

Last weekend, Rupert Lowe MP called on "the establishment" to stop referring to Restore Britain as “somehow ‘nazi’”. Unfortunately for Lowe, we have repeatedly exposed the neo-Nazis, fascists and ethnonationalists within the party. 🧵 hopenothate.org.uk/2026/09/29/r...

There is no concrete evidence yet that Lennon is paid by Russia. But when Russian networks promote you, pro-Kremlin propagandists welcome you and you repeatedly parrot Moscow’s lines, the obvious question remains: Russian asset? Or just Putin’s useful idiot? hopenothate.org.uk/tommy-robins...
