I can't help but feel that Peter Lazenby hits the nail on the head in the final quote from Matthew Taylor's article in today's Guardian on the sinister and disturbing website, Redwatch:
"I feel a degree of anger against the authorities that they have done nothing about this site. They have said repeatedly that there is nothing that can be done, but I simply don't believe them. We have quite rightly managed to close down paedophile sites and others that are deemed unacceptable, and I am sure that if Redwatch was targeting the richest 100 people in the country, it would be swiftly dealt with". [My emphasis.]
Lazenby's anger against the authorities is understandable in light of the fact that he is one of individuals targetted on the fascist website due to his work as a journalist for the Yorkshire Evening Post, reporting on the far right.
UPDATE
The scum behind Redwatch.

Darren - look at the London section, you'll recognise a few faces...
Scroll down the Scotreds section and you will find yours truly supping beer from a can with 2 friends from work . One of the May-days .
Should we be offended that the SPGB lit-stall was never featured ?
Bill,
Do they know that they're featured?
Perhaps it would be wise to have a quiet word?
Alan,
I'd have been more surprised if they had a photo of you without a beer can in your hand. ;-)
I've passed a message on - one of them is an ex-member, and the otehr features prominently on a wikipedia article anyway, so I doubt he's botehred, but one taken on a stall outside HO worries me a little...
I think if I was a member of the Millies I would also be concerned that on the same page it appears that someone took a number of pictures at one of their youth day schools.
It may just be pictures that a fascist has lifted from a SPEW/CWI website, but it doesn't look like it.
That seems to be part of the tick - one of the scotland pictures looks like it's in someone's house (the lassie in the Wob t-shirt) - intimidation. Frankly, it works - spooks me.
Totally understand.
I was spooked when I discovered I was on their one time, and it wasn't my picture just a chopped up email from the UK Left Network that happened to have my name in it.
Give yourself an ulcer :P

I consider being on Redwatch to be a sort of badge of pride - although my very low-key activities hardly merit such an accolade.
Nice to see someone else using Gang of Four lyrics on a blog by the way!
