The antifascist hero I introduced earlier in the week has never had any recognition. It’s time to say thank you.

Hi keith,

I’ve had a really great response to my email earlier this week about Arthur. If you didn’t see it, here’s a quick summary.

Arthur is an antifascist hero. Arthur is someone who volunteered to go undercover in the BNP in the 1990s. Working with him, we were able to wreak havoc on the fascist party. Information Arthur supplied helped the police catch the London nail bomber.

But there was one thing Arthur never asked for back then. Recognition. Arthur told no-one about what he was really doing. Even family members thought he’d become a neo-nazi. He could have claimed some of the £70,000 nail bomber reward, but Arthur didn’t want any publicity.

It’s time to say thank you to Arthur. We’ve set up a page where you can leave a message of thanks. He’s a humble hero, and I know that our messages of thanks will mean a lot.

 

At the weekend, I am going to get them nicely printed and bound and I am going to give them to Arthur as a token of our thanks.

And don’t forget, if you have Netflix, the new documentary about the London nail bombings comes out today.

Thanks,

Nick

Hundreds of people have been saying thank you to Arthur.

Hi keith,

Nick’s email earlier this week about Arthur has sparked a deluge of thank you messages to this antifascist hero. I’ve been reading through and wanted to share a few.

Thank you for your bravery, courage and strength in fighting against fascism and the BNP. I don't know where we'd be without people like you in the struggle against hate - we cannot thank you enough! I am so grateful.
Wan Y, Bristol

Arthur – you’re a hero. Thank you for your bravery and your dedication to the antifascist cause. You are an inspiration. I’m so glad that you are being recognised.
Frances O’Grady, TUC

Thank you Arthur, what you have done for the fight against fascism is nothing short of amazing.  My grandmother was a holocaust survivor, she had nightmares till the day she died.  I've tried to support anti fascist/racist organisations for most of my life, way back to Rock Against Racism in the 70's but I don't think I could ever have had the courage to do what you have done. Thank you.
Nigel B, Eardisley

Thanks,

Liron
