I was a fascist boot-boy, Matthew Collins. Independent Review 10.3.04, pp6-7. Interview with Matthew Collins, a former National Front organiser and Combat 18 activist who became an informant for the anti-fascist magazine, Searchlight. Collins says he had a political change of heart after participating in a brutal fascist attack on a meeting, mainly attended by Asian women, at Welling library in south London, in 1999. Seventeen people were hospitalised as a result of the assault. After his cover was blown Collins fled to Australia "with a working visa obtained by Special Branch", where he has been living for the past 10 years.

Justice for Andrew Jordan, Richard Price. Labour Left Briefing April 2004, p18.

Informe annual 2003. SOS Racismo, April 2004. SOS Racismo has published the 9th Annual Report on Racism in the Spanish State. The report is divided into thematic chapters, which include the attempts at "sealing" frontiers, the criminalisation of migrants as a result of the Ley de extranjería (the Spanish immigration law), the longstanding discrimination against the Roma community, police harassment, labour exploitation, Islamophobia and educational segregation. The authors feel that the report illustrates how racism is becoming established in the Spanish state, something that "calls out for a massive and urgent social reaction". Available from SOS Racisme, c/Bou de St. Pere, 3, Barcelona; www.sosracisme.org/sosracisme
