Dear Dr Reid

We believe it is imperative that you take action against websites such as Redwatch,
Noncewatch, Blood and Honour, Stormfront and the VNN site that incite violence
against individuals. We agree with Angela Eagle, MP, who speaking about Redwatch in
a Commons debate on 21 June said: "There appears to be a pattern of violence which
is aimed at individuals who are targeted by this website which cannot simply be a
coincidence. … Hate websites do not deserve the protection of the principles of
freedom of speech when they seek to prevent others from exercising their democratic
rights."

Redwatch responded by posting a photograph of Angela Eagle with a report of the debate.

Although the websites may be hosted outside the UK, the people who run them and
provide information to them are in the UK and their names are known. A court in
Quebec in June convicted a Canadian citizen for wilfully promoting hatred through a
racist website that he created and managed, although the site itself was hosted
outside Canada. The same action should be possible here.

These nazi websites not only incite violence against individuals but also offer
bomb-making instructions themselves or include links to other far-right terrorist
websites from which manuals on bombing and poisons can be downloaded.

Two men, Kevin Watmough from Leeds and Simon Sheppard who lives near Hull, have been raided by police. Both of them have previous criminal convictions and are connected to the Redwatch, Noncewatch and Blood and Honour websites. Within weeks of their computers being seized for examination by the police, they have reequipped and are back in action. Just how long will the police keep extending their bail?

We urge you to act now.

Yours sincerely

Mark Mozaz Wallis
