Ian Mather:- As Gerry pointed out the far right have their own dirty tricks department, in the form of an Internet site called Redwatch. It is composed almost entirely of photographs of anti-fascists, environmentalists, liberals, and anyone else the fascists dislike. Not infrequently the photographs are captioned with names and addresses of the people in them, together with invitations to pay them a visit.

He has since had further threats, which have resulted in armed police being stationed outside his home.

If anyone like that is living anywhere near me, I want to know about it.
