Watching RedWatch

Wotcha | 22.10.2003 23:27 | Anti-racism | Sheffield

RedWatch have added new sections covering South Yorkshire and Chesterfield and we have done some probing into who is behind this...

Simon Sheppard - RedWatch

Following is some info from doing DNS lookups. After that is some results from Google.

It appears that the sites do not comply with the AUPs of the hosts -- for example, is this not harrasement:

http://www.redwatch. org.uk/index2.html

"Remember places, traitors' faces, they'll all pay for their crimes."

Followed by pages listing names, photographs and even addresses of adults and children involved in anti-war demonstrations.

Fuck a duck... that website is the most hilarious collection of loony nazi tripe I've ever seen... usually they just stick to the usually lynching threats but this Sheppard's got everyone on his list... Jews, gays, blacks, women...

I think secretly he wants to suck a rabbi's cock, and the desire has driven him insane.

Nice to see he used to work for the Guardian though.

nice research!

Anyway of getting the site shutdown?

Shutting down sites?

23.10.2003 09:03

Obviously, Nazi bollocks like this needs to be attacked, but I think people might want to think twice about trying to get sites shut down by pointing out the acceptable use stuff. This could easily cut both ways, and lots of anarchist/ radical left sites could be interpreted as 'threatening' or inciting property destruction etc etc.Just a thought!

Seems like a nice boy!

I think it's worth being aware that these 'red-watchers' have been scrolling the sheffield indymedia archives for the last couple of weeks, resulting in them using an article to beef up their SOUTH YORKS REDS section.

Also, their related guestbook has been updated by pasting info from Sheff-IMC newswire.

These "activists" of the far-right are taking the lengthy and possibly methodical task of looking through the archives with the intention of using peoples photos and cross-matching "intelligence". Nothing to get totally paranoid about but still worth bearing in mind when future submissions are made to the Newswire.

By adopting a sense of vigilance we can keep the fascist threat to the back of our minds while carrying on with what's important. It's necessary to have an understanding about the interest they've been taking in us recently, while the worst thing that could happen is to allow this negative shit to take over.

If you are looking at these sites ensure you are masking your ip address.

...fashion tips for this autumn...

23.10.2003 20:12

this season, avoid too much white.

but remember brown or black shirts will often cause offence.

if you must wear a peaked cap this autumn then only a baseball cap will do.

jack boots are so 1945 - wear trainers or, even better, sandals with some rainbow socks.

pink and silver are definitely this season's colours.

and if you're feeling angry don't break something - break bread with your neighbour.

check the sheffield star for more fash-ion tips:
