KKK UK--coming of the pseudo klans? (concluded from previous page)
 
As a post-script to the above, on 20th September two events took place in East London within a very short distance of each other.  On the one hand, a KKK national relaunch meeting was held, the redirection point for which was Bow Bus garage.  On the other hand, a BNP meeting was sceduled for Bethnal Green the same afternoon.  This latter meeting place was moved at the last minute to Stratford, and BNP members as well as Anti-Nazi League puppets/others under the proximate control of the Searchlight team were directed from one place to the other, so they could beat up an elderly gentleman of pensionable age (John Tyndall) and his wife.  In order to get from the original anti-BNP meeting point (Whitechapel Tube Station) to Stratford, the ANL and others had to pass within yards of where the Klan eventually met.  As far as I know, no attempt was made to disrupt the KKK gathering.  The day after, more free Klan adverts appeared in the Sunday Mirror and (Glasgow) Sunday Mail (21/9/97).  No doubt Searchlight will soon claim inside knowledge of the Klan moot, and provide a disingenuous explanation of why the BNP were attacked and the Klan not.  Could it be that Searchlight and their state paymasters wanted the latter meeting to go ahead so as to foster Klan growth?  Once cannot be certain, but at the very least this whole enterprise has the aroma of state license, if not sponsorship, about it.  Army intelligence?  No thanks.
 
UPDATE (26/10/06)
 
 As predicted,  Searchlight later claimed inside knowledge of the 20/9/97 Klan meeting--one likely soiurce for which was the charmless Linda Miller, in whose flat the meeting was held!   More recently, so-called gangland 'hard man' Bernard O'Mahoney explained in self-serving detail his antics while  accompanying News of the World reporter Gary Jones to a 1996 Klan meeting for the article referenced in footnote 7.  This, indeed the whole book, perfectly captures the mentality of the low-grade police informer O'Mahoney patently is [13].  Subsequently, the Ku Klux Klan has done little in the UK, which has not stopped sporadic if half-hearted media publicity from time to time, usually with Searchlight input [14].  Winder's reference in the original article to having summarily lost his job became a little clearer-- it is alleged he had been using Inland Revenue facilities to track down political opponents.  Nice.  He subsequently became BNP Eastbourne Organiser--presumably enabling him to interface with both the political undead and the soon-to-be dead.
