The BBC ran an article on Red Watch.

"Action urged on far-right website Angela Eagle Ms Eagle's constituent was attacked A far-right website which publishes leftwingers' addresses has come under fire in the Commons in the wake of a knife attack on a union activist.

Alec McFadden narrowly avoided being blinded in the attack, which resulted in cuts to his face and hands.

Labour MP Angela Eagle urged ministers to take action against Redwatch after the attack at her constituent's home.

Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker said it was difficult to close down websites like Redwatch which are hosted abroad.

But he said action could be taken against people who incited others to violence.

A man was currently on bail over suspected public order offences relating to Redwatch."

Sheperd facilitates a number of fascist sites, including Redwatch and the British People Party's own site, and the Blood & Honour/Combat 18 site, all 3 of which are leased to Kevin Watmough. Both Watmough's and Sheperd's details are widely known, and in fact have been posted on Indymedia numerous times.

The cops know full well who runs Redwatch - Kevin Watmough of Leeds (address widely known), current leader of the "British People's Party", and in the past his pathetic pals Tony White and Tony Foye. The site is registered, along with other fascist sites, to Hull paedophile, Simon Sheperd.

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure it is registered to this Simon Shepherd. I've just run a WHOIS search, and redwatch.net is registered with a company in New York called ProtectFly.com, who register domains on others' behalf in order not to make their details public. redwatch.org.uk is registered to the National Front at a PO Box address in Hull. redwatch.co.uk is registered to the same address, but in the name of the White Nationalist Party. All three sites are hosted by a company called NearlyFreeSpeech.

Has anyone thought about the legality of a denial of service attack on these sites? Surely there is a case to be made that it would be an act of self-defence?

I might be wrong here, but isn't pro-paedo mental-health-case Simon Sheppard based around Hull, which explains the two Humberside PO Boxes...
