Many of you are familiar with the Hope Not Hate website which is an extreme left wing webpage. The site is usually associated with Nick Lowles, but Lowles also has another associate who contributes to the website on a regular basis, this person is called "Matthew Collins" who has previously been involved in the political right wing scene before admitting that he was in fact a police informer.
Collins runs his own blog page called "The Insider" was involved with the BNP and the NF in the 1990`s, Collins also joined combat 18 where he was involved in violent racist attacks on ethnic minorities, and also attacks on socialists, in fact Collins was actually one of the main instigators of the violence. Matthew was expelled from the National Front for attempting to provoke NF members into violent confrontation with communists, the NF leaders wanted the NF to remain as a political party and expelled Collins because of his continuous actions in inciting violence. When it was revealed that Collins was working for the police he was rewarded by his pay masters who moved him to Australia, and set him up with a job and a complete new existence. Collins took part in a television documentary in which he was seen grovelling and condemning his far right past, in actual reality Collins was a police infiltrator from day one. Collins claimed that if he returned to England he would be killed by the right wing, a couple of years after the documentary was made Collins did return to the U.K to live and found a job working for a communist group called searchlight. There have been no attacks on Collins since his return to the U.K, so this was a mass exaggeration, in fact Collins has deliberately continued to provoke the political right in Britain by posting abusive comments about them and laughing at attacks on them. Clearly Collins is immune from prosecution and has actually written books admitting his part in violent attacks on people.
Gerry O Hara who was a former searchlight activist condemned Collins as a police and Government infiltrator, also the political left in general have refused to associate with Collins and his police informer colleague Nick Lowles, who are both paid for their activities.
