Tony Lecomber bites the dust
Ketlan | 18.01.2006 19:16 | Anti-racism | Culture | Social Struggles
Tony Lecomber, Group Development Officer for the BNP, appears to have either been sacked or resigned after 'making a serious error of judgement in speaking to a non-member about matters which could be misconstrued and which could thereby possibly have caused embarrassment to the party.'
In 1985, Lecomber was convicted on five counts for offences under the Explosives Act, including possession of homemade hand-grenades and electronic timing devices and earned himself a three year sentence. In 1991 he was sentenced to a further three years for unlawful wounding for his part in an attack on a Jewish school teacher who he caught trying to peel off a BNP sticker at an underground station. He has a total of 12 convictions. Sweet guy.

Anthony Mark Lecomber (born 1963), usually known as Tony, is Group Development Director for the British National Party and has been active in far right politics since the early 1980s. His role is mainly behind the scenes in planning BNP election campaigns, but his history of convictions for violence and plotting explosions have given him prominence in anti-BNP publicity.
Lecomber joined the National Front in the early 1980s, but allied with John Tyndall who was already being blamed for the NF's poor performance at the 1979 general election. When Tyndall split to form the New National Front and later the British National Party, Lecomber followed him. For a time he changed his name to Tony Wells, fearing that Lecomber sounded too "foreign." He became editor of Young Nationalist magazine. In 1985 he was convicted of three counts under the Explosives Act for possessing home made hand grenades, and sentenced to three years' imprisonment. This conviction led to his rhyming nickname "The Bomber".
On his release he returned to activity with the BNP, and worked to try to build up BNP branches across Britain. In 1991 Lecomber saw a Jewish teacher removing a BNP sticker at a London Underground station and attacked him. This assault resulted in a conviction and a further sentence of three years' imprisonment. He was released in time to play a key part in the BNP's by-election win in Millwall ward of Tower Hamlets in September 1993.
Later in the 1990s, Lecomber became closer to Nick Griffin and supported Griffin when he successfully challenged John Tyndall's leadership of the BNP in 1999. Tyndall identified Lecomber as the man primarily responsible for undermining him. Under Griffin, Lecomber became, in effect, Deputy Leader of the BNP, and acted as national agent during election campaigns.

Coincidence--hardly

"Sounds like its going to be covered in the Sundays"--no doubt with Statelight (sorry Searchlight) riding point yet again. Nonetheless, despite the anticipated acres of coverage, & subsequent UAF Leaflet/poster campaign, an answer to the question of who exacty Lecomber might have suggested this "embarrassing" activity on behalf of will be as little covered as MI5/Special Branch/Searchlight complicity during & after Copeland's nail bombing campaign. Never mind, the truth will eventually out, despite the Sunday newspapers.

Apologies if this post is duplicated (upload hitch?)

1) Griffin's former Security Team, headed by Warren Bennett, has permanently (for the moment) gone, leaving in what might be called a slick TWOC-like getaway....
2) The exact approach of an "embarrassing" nature made by Lecomber to a non-BNP member was to Liverpool hard man & ex-BNP member Joe Owens. Information from a reliable source states that to the utter shock and astonishment of Owens (rumoured to be a regular church-goer--funerals mostly) Lecomber suggested he take 'direct action' (of a lethal kind) against various members of the political establishment: in common Scouse paralance, solicitation to commit murder.
The interesting question therefore (aside from the timing during Griffin's trial) is precisely which fraction of the state apparatus Lecomber has acted on behalf of in this endeavour and indeed over the last few years.

So share, Larry. Let's hear more about this. And, just out of interest, why haven't the Sunday rags picked the story up? I can't see them letting something like this go - particularly in the closing week of the trial.

1) The v. recent update to Searchlights 'Stop the BNP' website, & indeed the Electronic Loose Cannon by Webster (no enemy of the state or Searchlight he....) confirms to me I am on the right track.
2) Inevitably, the desire of snapping media poodles for a disinformational 'scoop' will have to be balanced against a desire to prevent Griffin & Collett having an excuse to appeal--so most likely the story will appear just after the trial is over.
3) I have said more elsewhere (Urban 75) so will leave it there for now--suffice to say, I am pleased to have riled you Mr Bullshit Exemplar. Now go and give yourself some auto-erotic pleasure, why don't you?

Lecomber bites the dust

For immediate release.
04-04-06.
Setting the record straight.
Around two weeks before Christmas, I received a Christmas card from Tony Lecomber.
I found this rather strange as I have never received one from him any time before,
I thought nothing of it and put it down to simple courtesy and friendship. The message written on the card was a general season’s greetings with a foot note that he would be visiting me sometime between Xmas and the New Year. I found this strange too, as I had not had any contact with Lecomber for at least 18 months. In reply to his card I e-mailed him my mobile number and land line phone number the following day.
Still confused as to why Lecomber would want to travel to Liverpool from London to see me over the festive period, I e-mailed him again and stated, “if it was a fishing expedition on behalf of Griffin he was not to bother.
He then replied, “it was nothing to do with the BNP or Griffin but a personal matter regarding him”.
I then received a phone call from Lecomber several days later saying, weather permitting, he would be down as he was also visiting someone in east Yorkshire.
It wasn’t till after the New Year, when I received another e-mail from Lecomber saying he would be visiting me on the 9th or 12th of January 2006.
He finally showed up on the 12th January, we met around 12.00 noon at the Showcase cinema on the East Lancs. road, Liverpool. Nearby there is a Pizza Hut to which we went, a place I regularly frequent. The Pizza Hut was quiet and we sat down and I ordered drinks while we looked at the menu. We then ordered food and waited for it to arrive, I then asked Tony Lecomber what was the purpose of his visit.
He said to me, “it was now too late to stop immigration” and quoted the recent statistics for London, saying “42% of births were from recent immigrant women and this statistic did not include the births from the home grown ones”.
My reply was “tell me something I don’t know”.
To which he replied “what we need is direct action”. I then asked him what he meant by “direct action”, and he said “targeting members of the establishment who are aiding and abetting the coloured invasion of this country”.
I then replied “what did targeting mean?”
He replied “killing them”. I then asked how that was going to stop immigration?
He replied “it would deter other people filling their jobs”.
I said this was rubbish as it never deterred establishment figures after murders committed by the IRA.
“Take Airey Neave for example”. I then asked him which establishment figures he was referring to.
T o which he replied “the likes of Greg Dyke”.
My alarm bells were now well and truly ringing as to what this man was up to. I then pressed him further on the issue on how these people were to be killed.
He said, “a lot of intelligence would have to be gathered on those he planned to target and cars with false number plates would have to be acquired.
I told him I wanted no part in his mad scheme and whoever embarked upon such a scheme wouldn’t last any longer than the Brazilian lad shot by the police on the tube in London.
We finished our food and left the restaurant.
On leaving I told him I wanted no part in his mad scheme. To which he replied,” if you change your mind give me a call”.
After we parted company, I immediately rang Mark Collett and told him of the conversation I just had with Lecomber, he like I was deeply shocked. I also rang Stevie Cartwright from Glasgow and he said he would call Warren Bennett, head of BNP security and he would inform him about this serious breach of security.
Warren Bennett and maybe Scott McLean, then informed Nick Griffin of the situation. I then received a phone call from Nick Griffin and briefly outlined to Nick the conversation I had with Lecomber.
We decided to meet up on Saturday 14th January at the Chester services on the M56 motorway to discuss this serious turn of events.
I met Nick that day during the afternoon and told him word for word the conversation I had with Lecomber, to my amazement Nick informed me Lecomber was suffering from diabetes and that diabetics were prone to mood swings, this he said “could explain Lecomber’s apparent leave of his senses”.
After I had stopped laughing, I said, “well, it must have been a long mood swing as I got the xmas card two weeks before xmas and I had the conversation 12th January with Lecomber”. To which Nick conceded I was right.
Nick and I spoke for some time and went over every possible scenario to explain his strange behaviour.We both then agreed the man was up to no good, in fact, Nick then said to me “this now explains why Searchlight has always known our exact membership numbers”.
Nick then said” Lecomber will be confronted at the forth coming court case demo in Leeds”. Lecomber did infact turn up at the Leeds demo with his wife and children, something he had never done before,bring his wife and kids with him.
I believe,as some other astute observers told me, he brought his family with him as he anticipated being lamped had he been on his own.
I was also in regular contact with Stevie Cartwright and he informed me, as Nick Griffin did, that Lecomber either resign or to fall on his own sword. I have retained the original text message from Griffin which said “ Tony told to resign or fall on own sword, now let me get on with my court case”.
Before I go any further, Nick Griffin or anyone else in the BNP has not refuted one word I have said concerning this episode. All they have done is release a statement saying Lecomber had approached a non member and said words that could be “misconstrued and bring the Party into disrepute”.
How in the world I could misconstrue someone asking me to kill people is beyond me, I know exactly what Lecomber said and what he meant. As does he.
Several weeks had gone by and i was still led to believe that Lecomber was still working for the BNP. I e-mailed Griffin and asked him if this was the case? To which he replied, “Tony was now passing his job over to another senior member which would take some time”. He also said “ losing Tony a good stratagist,electioneer, activist etc, was a great loss to the BNP and now leave the poor man alone”.
“Leave the poor man alone”? The same poor man who tried to solicit me to murder people. I found this response from Griffin very strange indeed. Instead of using the full weight of a BNP tribunal to bring Lecomber to book and kicking him out of the party, Griffin was more concerned about Lecomber’s feelings.
To this day Lecomber is actively working for the BNP and being paid a salary to do so.
Sadie Graham may have taken over Lecomber’s old job but that is just window dressing by Griffin.
Why was it John Tyndall was expelled immediately from the BNP just for critising Griffin, yet Lecomber who advocated murder can nonchalantly carry on his duties in the BNP on the excuse he is clearing his desk and passing over his job, what a load of bull!!!
I now challenge Lecomber and Griffin to refute one word I have written here, in fact I even made the offer to Griffin to pay for Lecomber to undergo a polygraph test if what I was saying wasn’t true. To date I have not been taken up on my offer.
I could go on and on but that would be pointless, however, ask yourself this question.
Why has Lecomber been treated with kid gloves and the whole matter brushed under the carpet?
Also on a final note, why has Lecomber not received a visit from the police as I am sure they will be aware of his conspiracy to solicit murder?
Well, I’ll tell you who has received a visit from the police, ME! And I was not the one soliciting to commit murder. Very strange?
Whatever Lecomber’s motives were, I don’t know, I am just giving you the facts as I know them.
Joe Owens.
