The Big One: "Stop Filming Us" β€” Far Right Turns on Its Own Auditors

Source: Searchlight Magazine, 10 Jun 2026 Key figures: Dion Wragg, Steve Laws (Restore Britain), Sam Melia (Patriotic Alternative), Alex Yerbury (National Rebirth Party), Anthony Barnes (AY Audits), Thomas Moffitt (Young Bob)

The far right's army of "auditors" β€” the confrontational YouTubers who film protests, migrant hotels, and street conflict for clicks and cash β€” are facing a furious backlash from their own side because their obsessive filming is handing police the evidence needed to lock people up.

Dion Wragg, a far-right foot soldier jailed for 2 years 4 months for his part in the 2024 Southport/Manvers hotel riot, ranted on X after being convicted on evidence built from auditor footage:

"8 months inside due to degenerate grifting auditors posting videos online with clear faces of patriots at the protest! You're not helping our cause, all you're doing is damaging our movements… putting people's freedom at risk to earn a few quid from views. They are basically grassing on the nationalists they claim to support!"

Steve Laws (Restore Britain's hardline fascist wing) posted:

"I'm yet again reminding you all to stop filming faces. If our guys are getting a bit tasty, don't fucking film it. You're putting them in the shit."

Sam Melia (Patriotic Alternative, recently released from prison for inciting racial hatred):

"Any uprising would be immediately nipped in the bud thanks to these auditor cunts who film every moment in HD."

Alex Yerbury (National Rebirth Party) singled out Young Bob (Thomas Moffitt), a teenage auditor whose footage of the Southampton riot (3M+ views) clearly showed rioters' faces:

"Are you aware that by filming this, all you are doing is creating a pile of evidence that can be used against people that you sympathise with in court?"

Yerbury had his own Portsmouth branch organiser Luke Jahn filmed fighting with police in Southampton β€” footage widely shared.

AY Audits (Anthony Barnes) went on the defensive. In a 50-minute livestream from his car, he rambled about the "grass" and "snitch" accusations:

"These words are very bad words to call people… they could incite people to have a lot of trouble, yeah?"

Searchlight notes the irony: "The possibility of auditors violently clashing with their own political bedfellows β€” that could be the best social media content yet."


πŸ”΄ Young Bob (Thomas Moffitt) Assaulted in Manchester (15 Jun 2026)

Source: Searchlight Magazine, 15 Jun 2026; The New World, 17 Jun 2026; London999

Thomas Moffitt (Young Bob) β€” the 17-year-old teenage auditor whose footage put Southampton rioters behind bars β€” got a taste of his own medicine in Manchester.

He tried the Charlie Kirk "change my mind" grift: set up a debate stall on Market Street, film arguments with passers-by, edit to make them look stupid, collect the clicks. A tip-off went round, and a multi-racial group of school kids (~16 years old) recognised him and took a dim view.

He ended up dumped on his arse and had to be rescued β€” by a group of black men and women who stepped in to spare him further embarrassment.

Searchlight's take: "For a young man who fancied himself a savvy operator on the far-right scene, it is quite a legacy. And it turned him into a hate figure with some sections of the far right. He was a 'grass'."

The New World ran a profile piece the same week: "Meet Young Bob, the teen Christian nationalist star of the UK's hard right" β€” describing him as having "a wet-lipped intensity reminiscent of Peep Show's Mark Corrigan" running "the Confrontational YouTuber playbook to perfection."

He'd also been energetically canvassing for Restore Britain's doomed Makerfield by-election campaign alongside "some of Restore's most notorious nazi recruits."

DP Audits films "crackheads, litter, begging gangs and street fights" β€” described by Scottish Daily Express as an "English YouTube 'auditor' – real name Paul". He's also known to operate in Coventry and Glasgow.


Charlie Veitch β€” Legal Collapse & Bodyguard Ditch (Feb–Mar 2026)

Sources: Manchester Evening News, Searchlight, Reddit r/manchester, r/unitedkingdom

Charlie Veitch β€” Manchester-based auditor and conspiracy theorist, formerly of "Love Police" fame β€” hit major trouble:

  • Charged with public order offence (Feb 2026) β€” banned from Manchester city centre
  • Reddit threads on r/manchester: "Charles Veitch charged with public order offence" (2 Feb 2026) β€” 113 upvotes
  • Also posted to r/unitedkingdom (23 Feb 2026) β€” "He is due to appear before magistrates"

Fred Willis leaves Veitch, joins fascist network

Searchlight Magazine, 9 Mar 2026: Fred Willis (aka Fred CPO) β€” formerly Charlie Veitch's bodyguard and enforcer β€” left Veitch and is now active with the Manchester fascist network that:

  • Attempted to attack MP Hannah Spencer (Gorton & Denton by-election winner) on 8 Mar 2026
  • Includes Chris Messenger (known online as English Ned) and anti-trans extremist Steve James
  • Previously assaulted a Stop the War meeting featuring Zarah Sultana MP

Fred Willis was caught on video pulling a man's ponytail and dragging him to the floor during a confrontation. A Liverpool Against The Fash Facebook post (21 Mar 2026) calls him "the cowardly bully" β€” "Fash Fred gets flattened."


Knockout Audit β€” The Fastest Growing Street-Content Channel (2026)

Knockout Audit films nightlife confrontations β€” club queues, kebab-shop scuffles, street fights, protest lines. CreatorDB describes it as "a specific kind of video the British YouTube algorithm cannot stop serving in 2026."

Boxing pivot: McInnes has also been leveraging his boxing background for content β€” "Knockout Audit BOXING WAR | UK VS Ukraine" (126K views), "Knockout Audit Boxing | UK VS Israel" and "They Gave Me Every Round | Knockout Audit Boxing" (51K views) β€” effectively turning street beefs into actual organised fights between UK and international participants.

Beef connections: Knockout Audit has been involved in multiple documented beefs:

  • "Bro Was Beefing With Knockout Audit" β€” Tyrone1MC Instagram, 14 Jan 2026
  • "He Made A Fight Call Out Live On Stream" β€” Tyrone1MC, 25 May 2026

Effectively a gossip/beef channel for the UK auditor scene.


The Laughing Auditor β€” Legal & Drama

The Laughing Auditor (John Hunter) β€” 79.9K subscribers as of Jun 2026 (per CreatorDB) β€” has his own legal baggage:

  • FOI request (Jul 2025): "What charges did John Hunter aka The Laughing Auditor plead guilty to?"

Rumble β€” "Auditing the Auditors" Series

The channel Chill In The UK on Rumble has been running an "Auditing the Auditors" series:

  • Episode 3: "Who is Auditing Britain?"
  • Episode 5: "Who is The Laughing Auditor?"

Suggests a meta-commentary genre emerging around the auditor scene β€” Rumble being the deplatforming refuge for when channels get banned on YouTube.

Niche & Obscure: Criminal Pasts, Sex Offenders & Hypocrisy

AJ Audits (Anthony Styles) β€” "Protect the Children" Activist Was a Paedophile

Sources: The Sun (Sep 2025), Byline Times (17 Apr 2026), Reddit

Anthony Styles, 59, ran the AJ Audits YouTube channel where he'd livestream outside asylum hotels ranting about "protecting children" from migrants. He was a fixture of far-right activism in London and Epping.

The Sun exposed him in Sep 2025: he was a convicted child sex offender. The man screaming about migrant men being a danger to kids was himself on the sex offenders register for abusing girls.

Reddit r/unitedkingdom thread (Sep 2025): 369 upvotes, hundreds of comments. Byline Times followed up in Apr 2026 as part of their wider investigation into the criminal pasts of the auditor scene, naming him alongside other offenders.

DJE Media (Curtis Arnold) β€” Convicted Sex Offender Filming "Audits" While Monitored by Police

Sources: Manchester Evening News (Dec 2025, Jan 2026), UKNIP, Sex Offenders Database, Byline Times (Apr 2026)

Curtis Arnold, 36 β€” runs DJE Media, filming "grot spots" in Manchester (Piccadilly Gardens fights, drug use) for YouTube. His backstory is far darker:

  • Convicted sex offender β€” monitored by Thames Valley Police. The Manchester Evening News ran a piece titled "The sex offender pointing a camera in your face" (Dec 2025)
  • Convicted of trespassing at Chequers β€” the PM's official country residence (2024)
  • 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order (Oct 2025) β€” "gym groomer" who conned women and teenage girls
  • Banned from TikTok (Jan 2026)
  • Uses the alias Daniel James Edwards (hence DJE Media)
  • Has a dedicated entry on the UK Sex Offenders Database (ID O-8090)
  • Byline Times (Apr 2026) revealed his server had a channel named "xxx-rated-adult" where fellow auditor DP Audits was also present

Despite all this, he continues posting content, filming vulnerable people, and calling himself a journalist.

ST Audits (Christopher Lee Matthews) β€” Pro Wrestler Turned "Migrant Hunter"

Source: HOPE not hate (May 2024, Mar 2025)

ST Audits is Christopher Lee Matthews, 53, from Stoke-on-Trent. Before becoming an auditor/migrant hunter, he was a professional wrestler and doorman. HOPE not hate describes him as "highly secretive" and "one of the most aggressive and confrontational activists."

He was involved in a "major spat" with another migrant hunter (unnamed in the reporting), reflecting the internal rivalries within even the most niche corners of the scene. Spotted at the Britain First rally in Nuneaton (Mar 2025).

Steve James / Edge of the Matrix β€” Green Campaigner β†’ Nazi Fellow Traveller

Source: Searchlight Magazine (16 Mar 2026)

Steve James (real name Jefferies), who runs the channel Edge of the Matrix, has one of the strangest radicalisation arcs in the scene. He started as a green/environmental campaigner and ended up as an anti-trans extremist auditor who attacked a Green MP.

Searchlight's headline: "From green campaigner to harassing Green MP β€” the radicalisation of Steve James." He now runs with the Manchester fascist network (English Ned, Fred Willis) and was part of the attack on MP Hannah Spencer in March 2026.

Lee Scheres / Unmasked Antifa Exposed β€” The Doxxer

Source: Searchlight Magazine (30 Mar 2026)

Lee Scheres, from Leeds, runs the Unmasked Antifa Exposed X feed, where he routinely identifies and doxxes opponents of the far right. Searchlight profiled him in their "Do not feed the animals" feature as a key figure in the auditor ecosystem β€” not a filmer himself, but the intelligence arm supplying targets to the confrontational channels.

Banaman β€” Sheffield's OG

Banaman (60.5K subs, 426 videos) is a Sheffield-based auditor who predates the current "migrant hunting" wave. His content is more classic police-accountability auditing β€” bailiffs, car boot sales, council offices. Less directly political than the newer wave, but represents the earlier, milder form of the genre that the current mob has evolved from.


Interpersonal Beefs & Facebook Group Gossip

English Ned vs "The Girls" β€” The Big Fallout

A direct post on the group asked: "Does anyone know why English Ned and 'the girls' MKR, My brakes don't work... have fallen out? I can't see any videos or announcements as to what's happened."

English Ned (Chris Messenger) β€” the loudest mouth in the Manchester scene β€” has fallen out with Kelsea (MKR Audits) and Rachel (Mybrakesdontwork / The Lesbian Cartel). The exact reason isn't public, but they were all charged in the same affray case and given bail conditions banning them from contacting each other. The group suspects the falling out predated the arrests.

Post-raid, Ned was spotted violating his bail conditions β€” caught walking "within metres of one half of the lesbian Cartel" in a London video. Group comment: "Bail Conditions for both mean they can't be near each other by accident or on purpose."

KC Audits (Kyle Clouston) β€” The Grass

Kyle Clouston (KC Audits) is widely believed in the group to have spilled the details to police, leading to the raids. One post: "Thanks to KC Audits for spilling the tea Chris Messenger - English Ned Kelsea/Rachel - The Lesbian Cartel..." β€” suggesting he gave up the whole network.

Another group member named Harry Jackson as "the one that got English Ned // KC Audits house raided etc" β€” either Jackson was the source or Kyle is being blamed for Jackson's information.

English Ned Gets His Teeth Knocked Out

Multiple group posts reference Ned getting attacked. "English Ned has had his teeth knocked out?" β€” reportedly by Antifa. Another post recounts Ned after an assault: "I've had worse punches off me daughter, you dirty animal Venezuelan whoppers... That lad stamped on me head an snapped me Β£260 glasses, they were Vivian Westwood as well officer."

Most Hated Auditors β€” Group Rankings

  1. Auditing Britain (AKA Reda Bouadi-Clifton)
  2. DJE Media (Curtis Arnold β€” convicted sex offender)
  3. English Ned (Chris Messenger)

The Fake Manc Accent Mystery

A post asked: "Who's the guy from Wales that moved to Manchester a couple of years ago and started putting on a fake Manc accent?" β€” suggesting one of the auditors is originally Welsh but affects a Manchester accent for the camera. Identities speculated in replies but unresolved.

Billy Moore & Turbo β€” The Enforcers

Billy Moore (a YouTuber who covers protests and events) is referenced as providing support to Turbo (another auditor) β€” "getting him 5 grand free holiday and dental work soon when his probation ends." English Ned is quoted backing up Billy Moore's antics: "as English Ned would say... is rightttttt mateeee."

Updated β€” Tommy Robinson Telegram channel (20 Jun 2026): Billy Moore was confronted at a protest by Darren Gee, described as "the deranged bald grass that is despised by everyone." The TR channel ran a full post about it:

"Billy Moore, a YouTuber who covers events of a broad range, including protests, is confronted by the deranged bald grass that is despised by everyone, Darren Gee, screaming... Degenerate little rat needs to get a job, and stop collecting the blue giros."

Darren Gee appears to be a new figure in the grass/snitch ecosystem β€” someone considered a police informant by the far-right scene itself. No other mention of him found across sources yet.

Creepy Curtis & Charlie Veitch on Lockdown

Group posts reference Curtis Arnold (DJE Media) being spotted in London: "Creepy Curtis is panting like a pig running around London" while "Charlie Veitch is on lockdown" β€” confirming even within the scene, Curtis is viewed with contempt.


BF Birmingham "March for Remigration" β€” 20 Jun 2026 (Saturday)

Sources: Britain First Telegram, Birmingham Mail (21 Jun 2026), Bluesky

Britain First held a "March for Remigration" in Birmingham city centre on Saturday 20 June 2026.

The march:

  • Gathered at Birmingham New Street Station (Grosvenor Casino side), midday
  • Marched a small loop through the city centre
  • Bluesky counter-protest organiser: "There were so few Biffers that they didn't even meet each other on the tiny loop of the march"
  • BF Telegram claimed "the crowd in Manchester was bigger, Birmingham will be even bigger" β€” real turnout appears to have been small
  • Final BF Telegram post: "These two idiots turn up to our March for Remigration today" β€” likely auditors or counter-protesters

Cherry Reds bar story: Birmingham Mail (21 Jun): Cherry Reds bar on John Bright Street was applauded for refusing to serve Britain First members during/after the march. The story went viral on Bluesky via @antireform (29 likes, 9 reposts).

Counter-protest: Organised by Brummies United / Stand Up to Racism, gathering at Victoria Square at 11am.

Auditor presence: Given the "two idiots" comment on BF Telegram, auditors from the scene likely attended to film β€” consistent with every other far-right event in 2026. Not yet confirmed which channels.


Source: Searchlight Magazine, 11 Apr 2026; Facebook β€” Audit The Auditors UK

Six auditors were arrested and charged with affray following police raids in Manchester, relating to a demonstration in November 2025. Their bail conditions ban them from Manchester city centre and from contacting each other.

The charged:

Alias Real Name Channel
English Ned Chris Messenger English Ned
KC Audits Kyle Clouston KC Audits
MKR Audits Kelsea Leigh Cunliffe MKR TV
Mybrakesdontwork Rachel Davies My Brakes Don't Work / The Lesbian Cartel
Davethemancpatriot David Casey Dave the Manc Patriot
Slick Tube Ricky Jones Slick Tube

The Lesbian Cartel β€” Kelsea and Rachel run a joint YouTube channel called exactly that (@thelesbiancartel), live-streaming Manchester protests and nightlife. They were doing a "HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!" Manchester live stream on 1 Jan 2026 before the raids hit. The Facebook group Audit The Auditors UK used the name to spill tea: "Thanks to KC Audits for spilling the tea Chris Messenger - English Ned Kelsea/Rachel - The Lesbian Cartel..."

Kyle Clouston (KC Audits) was the one who apparently spilled the details, leading to internal bad blood. Slick Tube (Ricky Jones) is still active, posting Nottingham walk content as of Jun 2026.


CJ Audits (Charles Johnston) β€” The NI Exception

Source: CrimeWorld (Jul 2024), YouTube

CJ Audits (Charles Johnston) is a Northern Ireland-based auditor filming PSNI stations. In Jul 2024, cops went to court trying to ban him from filming outside police stations. He's still active β€” "CJ Explores UK & Ireland" series, posting as recently as Jun 2026. One of the few NI-based auditors, making him a bit of an outlier in an England-dominated scene.


News Now Yorkshire (Michael) β€” Sued the Police and Won

Source: YouTube, Facebook

News Now Yorkshire (Michael, ~37K subs) has one of the rare legal wins in the auditor scene. He sued West Yorkshire Police after being threatened outside a police station and won Β£3,500 compensation. His video "I Sued West Yorkshire Police For..." got picked up by other auditor channels. Still active as of May 2026 posting police station audits. One of the more legally-savvy operators.


Ben Mills (The Ginger Patriot) β€” Environment Manager by Day, Auditor by Night

Source: Searchlight (Mar 2026), LinkedIn

Ben Mills runs The Ginger Patriot channel. His LinkedIn profile lists him as Environment Manager at Konica Minolta Business Solutions UK β€” a corporate sustainability job. By night/weekend, he's in the middle of far-right protests and auditor confrontations, photographed by Searchlight at the centre of the Manchester auditor pack at an anti-Trump demo. One of the more surreal "double life" characters in the scene.


Peripheral: Advance UK vs Restore Britain (Auditor-Adjacent)

Source: Searchlight, 17 Mar 2026

Ben Habib (Advance UK) leaked a voice note calling Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain "full tilt racist" β€” Habib claimed Restore members called him a "Paki" due to his Pakistani heritage. Restore Britain trolled back with a post: "Go full tilt for Restore Britain."

This is party-level politics but directly involves figures (Steve Laws, Alex Yerbury) who also feature in the auditor drama above.

πŸ”΄ Young Bob Arrested & Held Overnight (Late Jun 2026)

Sources: Rebel News (Save Young Bob campaign), Searchlight Magazine, Facebook, Instagram

Young Bob (Thomas Moffitt) was arrested and held overnight by police following the Manchester incident. Rebel News launched a crowdfunding campaign for his legal defence, with founder Ezra Levant flying to London to connect him with Tana Adelmann β€” one of the UK's most experienced free speech lawyers (she's represented Tommy Robinson for years).

The "Save Young Bob!" campaign frames his arrest as the state silencing independent journalism. Several court cases are now active simultaneously:

  • Young Bob's own defence (arrested, held overnight, charged)
  • Daniel Rushby ("Ponytail") β€” the Stand Up to Racism activist who attacked Young Bob on Market Street, arrested and charged with assault
  • The original Southampton riot sentencing already underway

Daniel Rushby aka "Ponytail" was arrested several days after the 15 Jun incident. Facebook posts from various groups spread the news: "Stand Up To Racism activist Daniel Rushby, aka 'Ponytail' has been arrested for his role in the vicious attack on 17-year-old activist Young Bob." Footage shows him grabbing, punching, restraining the teen, and stealing/busting his camera equipment.


πŸ”΄ Young Bob Returns to Manchester β€” Round 2 (27 Jun 2026)

Source: Searchlight Magazine β€” "Round two in Manchester: Young Bob stays on his feet but loses on points" (27 Jun 2026); Stand Up to Racism (1 Jul 2026)

Young Bob returned to Market Street one week after being assaulted, this time with more infrastructure:

  • Fred Willis (his bodyguard, ex-Charlie Veitch enforcer, public school-educated thug)
  • A flimsy Chinese-made gazebo and a new banner
  • Hired muscle for protection

The result? He was heavily outnumbered by counter-protesters. Stand Up to Racism set up an opposition stall that was "flooded with people aggravated by Moffitt and eager to join the opposition to his far-right project."

Searchlight's verdict: "stayed on his feet but lost on points." SUTR reported the provocation attempt largely failed.


πŸ’€ Britain First Implosion β€” Golding Admits Empty Coffers & All for England Split

Source: Searchlight Magazine β€” "The grifters last stand? Golding tells Britain First 'party coffers are empty'" (24 Jun 2026); Stand Up to Racism (1 Jul 2026)

The most significant far-right organisational development in weeks:

  • Paul Golding publicly admitted Britain First is in "serious financial trouble" in a social media post pleading for donations
  • Party coffers empty β€” activist base haemorrhaging to rival group All for England
  • Ashlea Simon β€” Golding's former romantic partner and deputy leader β€” set up All for England, a new Nazi fragment that has absorbed BF's North West activist base
  • Alex Merola defected to All for England
  • Parallel to earlier Jayda Fransen split, who left BF citing Golding's "extreme domestic abuse" and claimed he "watches Hitler speeches every morning while eating his breakfast cereal in his underpants"
  • Searchlight headine: "With its coffers empty, its activist base haemorrhaging to rival group All for England, and Paul Golding's reputation in freefall, Britain First's long, slow death spiral may finally be entering its terminal phase."

Stand Up to Racism (1 Jul 2026): "Britain First is split and demoralised... The most significant of these is the split between Britain First and a new organisation, All for England, which has been set up by Ashlea Simon, Golding's former romantic partner and deputy leader."

The far right in Plymouth had their own falling out "worthy of Eastenders." Flag Force (Plymouth-based far-right group) rolled into Restore Britain after a split with Britain First local activists. The soap opera played out on public Facebook pages and included:

  • Threats and accusations of grifting
  • Trading of bible verses
  • "Comic book dressing up"
  • Kept local anti-fascists "amused for hours"

πŸ›οΈ Hill St Blues β€” Britain First Birmingham & Auditor Attacks on Journalist

Source: Searchlight Magazine β€” "Hill St blues: Britain First activists turn on Golding after humiliating Birmingham fiasco" (20 Jun 2026)

Britain First's Birmingham "March for Remigration" on 20 Jun was a disaster:

  • Barely 200 attended vs 800+ anti-fascist counter-protest
  • The march was "less than a quarter-mile loop" completed in under 10 minutes
  • Activists turned on Golding internally after the humiliating turnout

Key detail β€” auditors attacked an independent journalist: "An independent journalist was attacked by auditors from a 30-strong pack which – surprise, surprise – included English Ned, Paul Dunbar (DP Audits), Billy Moore" β€” the same auditor pack from the Manchester scene turned up and physically attacked a journalist at the event.

The Cherry Reds bar refusing service to BF members went viral on Bluesky.

The Manchester Six (English Ned, KC Audits, MKR Audits, Mybrakesdontwork, Davethemancpatriot, Slick Tube) had their bail conditions extended: "The Lesbian Cartel BAN EXTENDED until OCTOBER (3 more months)."

This means Kelsea (MKR Audits) and Rachel (Mybrakesdontwork/The Lesbian Cartel) remain banned from Manchester city centre and from contacting each other or the other co-defendants through to at least October 2026.

KC Audits (Kyle Clouston) also posted a video showing the charge sheet (blurring out names), confirming the affray charges relate to the November 2025 demonstration incident.

πŸ“Œ Peripheral: Posie Parker Whitechapel & Anti-Fascist Counter-Mobilisation

Source: Stand Up to Racism (1 Jul 2026)

On Saturday 27 Jun, Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull (Posie Parker) and ~30 supporters attempted a rally in Whitechapel, East London. They were met by 150 counter-demonstrators from Women Against the Far Right and Tower Hamlets Stand Up to Racism, leaving "the racist rally stranded under a tree in Victoria Park."

Keen has increasingly aligned with Tommy Robinson, speaking at his 16 May demonstration and the 2 Jun Southampton rally that descended into rioting.

βš–οΈ Charlie Veitch β€” Court Date & Trial Set (30 Jun 2026)

Source: Manchester Evening News (30 Jun 2026), Reddit r/unitedkingdom

Charlie Veitch (Charles Veitch) appeared at Manchester Magistrates' Court on 30 June 2026 to deny a public order offence.

  • Charge: Using threatening/abusive/insulting words or behaviour with intent to cause harassment, alarm or distress
  • Alleged offence date: 2 August 2025 (over 10 months ago)
  • Plea: Not guilty
  • Trial set for: October 2027
  • Bail: Released on bail pending trial

This means Veitch avoided the city centre ban (previously reported) but remains on bail and won't face trial for over a year. The alleged victim and specific incident haven't been publicly detailed beyond the August 2025 date.


πŸ†• Knockout Audit β€” "Britain First VS Antifa Birmingham" Video

Source: YouTube β€” Knockout Audit channel; web search cross-reference

Knockout Audit uploaded a video covering the Britain First March for Remigration in Birmingham (20 Jun 2026), titled "Britain First VS Antifa Birmingham". It's marked as "New" with 103K–138K views, suggesting it was uploaded in late June / early July 2026.

The video likely captures:

  • The 200-strong BF turnout
  • The 800+ anti-fascist counter-protest
  • Auditor presence (English Ned, DP Audits, Billy Moore)
  • The Cherry Reds bar refusal incident

Other recent Knockout Audit uploads include "Birmingham | One Mad Friday", "Wakefield Fever", and various Manchester/London street content.


πŸ”„ Peripheral: Richard Inman's About-Face on Rupert Lowe (1 Jul 2026)

Source: Searchlight Magazine β€” "Tommy Robinson's organiser begs Farage to unite with 'treasonous wretch' Rupert Lowe" (1 Jul 2026)

Richard Inman β€” Tommy Robinson's right-hand man and organiser β€” has completely reversed his position on Rupert Lowe:

  • Feb 2026: Called Lowe a "treasonous wretch" driven by ego when Restore Britain launched
  • 1 Jul 2026: Openly begging Nigel Farage on video to "unite and work together" with Lowe

Filmed "apparently in a field," Inman addressed Farage directly, pleading for unity on the right. The about-face reflects the desperate state of the far-right ecosystem post-Makerfield by-election defeat and the fragmenting vote.

This isn't auditor drama per se, but directly involves figures from the wider right-wing infighting orbit (Steve Laws, Alex Yerbury from Restore Britain feature in the auditor scene too).


πŸ“Œ Peripheral: Auditors Expanding to New Cities β€” Nottingham

Source: Nottingham Post β€” "The YouTubers telling the world Nottingham is a dangerous and violent 'hellhole'" (Jun 2026)

As Manchester cracks down on auditors (bans, arrests, bail conditions), the scene is shifting to new cities. Nottingham is the latest target, with DJE Media (Curtis Arnold) and other auditors now filming "grot spots" there. A researcher quoted in the piece: "Manchester has said 'enough is enough', so the auditors are now exploiting cities like Nottingham and it seems as soon as one goes, all the others go to follow."

Slick Tube (Ricky Jones) has also been active in Nottingham, posting walk content as recently as Jun 2026.

πŸ†• DP Audits (Paul Dunbar) β€” Rape & Death Threats Exposed

Source: Searchlight Magazine β€” "Far-right 'auditor' sends rape threats to anti-racist's family" (Apr 2026); X/Twitter discourse (Jul 2026)

Paul Dunbar (DP Audits) has been sending graphic rape and death threats to a pro-refugee campaigner, specifically targeting the campaigner's wife and daughters. Searchlight published the story in April 2026 with screenshots of the messages, including Dunbar writing:

"Yer one day you're getting it. Il see you soon and it won't be filmed. I'm gonna come get a lunch at wagamamas, and I'm going straight for your wife at that nhs trust she works at"

The threats resurfaced on X in early July 2026, with @trevseatonart circulating the details widely. Dunbar continues to operate the DP Audits channel despite the threats, and was present at the Birmingham BF march (20 Jun) alongside English Ned and Billy Moore.

Nitter search (Jul 2026) also shows other X users calling Dunbar out: "DP Audits the ugly little hobbit needs he sparse teeth kicked in" and "The fella dp audits is a sex offender" β€” though the sex offender reference may refer to Curtis Arnold (DJE Media) rather than Dunbar.


πŸ†• Ben Cullen / Raise the Colours β€” Tommy Robinson Associate on Trial for Child Abuse Images

Source: Oxford Mail / ThisIsOxfordshire (30 Jun 2026); Nitter

Ben Cullen, a leading figure in Raise the Colours Oxfordshire (a far-right activist group), appeared in court accused of making indecent images of children. The trial began around 30 Jun 2026.

Key facts:

  • Cullen is a "principal player" in Raise the Colours, an Oxfordshire-based far-right activist movement
  • He was also present at Tommy Robinson's far-right march in London
  • Accused of downloading over 70 indecent images of children
  • Multiple X accounts (@Gadget440, @I_amMukhtar) called out Tommy Robinson's silence on the matter β€” "Tommy Robinson still has said nothing about his associate Ben Cullen facing trial for downloading over 70 'indecent images of children'"
  • The case echoes the AJ Audits / DJE Media pattern of far-right activists being exposed with child abuse convictions while posing as "protectors" of the public

The X discourse in early Jul 2026 noted the stark irony: a movement built on "protecting children" from migrants finds one of its own facing 70+ indecent image charges, and its leader says nothing.


πŸ†• Ryan Ferguson & Harry Jackson β€” Liverpool Hotel Charges & June Arrest

Sources: Liverpool Echo (Apr 2026); Merseyside Police (Jun 2026); Mirror; Searchlight Magazine

Ryan Ferguson, a Liverpool-based far-right YouTuber who describes himself as a "far-right journalist," has been piling up charges throughout 2026:

Liverpool hotel charges (April 2026):

  • Ferguson (26, of Bootle/Derby) and Harry Jackson (already referenced above as the grass who spilled on the Manchester crew) appeared at Liverpool Magistrates' Court in April 2026
  • Both denied threatening behaviour, racially/religiously aggravated harassment, and aggravated trespass at The Richmond hotel (used to house asylum seekers)
  • Jackson was additionally charged with possession of cannabis (class B)
  • Both granted unconditional bail pending trial, with a case management hearing scheduled

Encouraging violence charge (June 2026):

  • Merseyside Police charged Ferguson with intentionally encouraging/assisting an offence, namely battery under Section 44/58 of the Serious Crime Act 2007
  • The charge relates to a social media post encouraging violence against police
  • Remanded into custody to appear at Wirral Magistrates' Court
  • The Mirror reports Ferguson has 20 previous convictions including a 9-month sentence for racial abuse, and was previously jailed for wasting police time with fake 999 calls

The Harry Jackson connection is notable β€” he's already in this file as the person who grassed up English Ned, KC Audits, and The Lesbian Cartel. The Ferguson-Jackson partnership suggests Jackson's network extends beyond Manchester into the Liverpool scene.


πŸ†• DJ Audits β€” The Drone Auditor (250K Subs, Warner Bros Legal Action)

Sources: Daily Mail (2026); YouTube (DJ AUDITS); Facebook β€” Auditors Exposed UK

DJ Audits (real name unknown, currently refuses to identify himself) is one of the biggest auditors in the UK by subscriber count β€” 250K subscribers and 140.8M total views across 1,467 videos β€” yet is completely absent from most reporting on the auditor scene.

Unlike the Manchester migrant-hotel auditors, DJ Audits specialises in drone-based surveillance of high-profile targets:

  • Flew a drone over Warner Bros Studios (Leavesden) β€” capturing footage of the Harry Potter TV series set and House of the Dragon production
  • Warner Bros taking legal action for infringement of intellectual property rights
  • Daily Mail featured him in a piece titled "Revealed: The YouTube drone auditors who 'terrorise celebs for clicks'" β€” alongside coverage of auditors targeting Luisa Zissman (Apprentice star)
  • Auditors Exposed UK Facebook group: "I hope DJ Audits has a lot of money because Warner Brothers are taking legal action against him"
  • Also known for filming at Libra Speciality Chemicals in Manchester, confronting staff about "compliance"
  • Connected to other auditors in the scene: tagged by Mr Baldy Audits (Belfast-based) alongside CJ Audits, The Laughing Auditor, Marti Blagborough, and Auditing Yorkshire

DJ Audits represents a different strand of the auditor scene β€” less political, more celebrity/property-focused β€” but operates in the same legal grey zone and is connected to the wider network. The Warner Bros legal action could set a precedent for drone-based auditing in the UK.

As of early Jul 2026, Knockout Audit has 188,091 Facebook likes (up from ~187K in late Jun). Subscriber growth continues but has slowed slightly from the 49.6% surge seen in Q2 2026. The Wigan 2v1 ambush video passed 1M+ views.

Doncaster Free Press also covered Knockout Audit's video showing brawls on Doncaster's Silver Street, Hall Gate, and East Laith Gate β€” a 45-minute compilation of nightlife violence that drew local media attention.
