- Horrible prick, spends his days screaming about lefties and communists, says he's got six kids. Yer da's got a YouTube channel!
- Another Frauditor exposed! Peter James David Sherman aka Laudy Visits from Southampton. History of multiple failed companies. In 2023 got an award for Young Entrepreneur of the year. Original YT account was deleted due to multiple violations. Likes to document so-called "migrant" hotels. #grifter
- ** Part 3 of Noncey Arnold ** More info on Curtis Arnold aka DJE Media and the offences caused by him. Showing yet again these frauditors can't be trusted, are very violent and some seem to be convicted criminals.
- ** Part 2 of Noncey Arnold ** To the right is Curtis Arnold aka DJE Media's mugshot and to the left a huge newspaper front page about him, yet he's still able to stream and get close to the public which is very worrying.
- Convicted s3x offender Curtis Arnold aka DJE Media (yes another frauditor) has had his Tiktok account deleted. Less money to grift from now.
- Thanks to @arc-161.bsky.social for allowing us to use their platform to host the full report - arc161.noblogs.org
- Lastly, we can't forget Nigel Murfin. Nigel has a habit of ending up in the local news for harassing women, but he's currently banned from Exeter after an arrest in one of his attempts to assault refugees outside the hotel in Exeter.
- Reece Grant, aka STB (Stop the Boats) Audits is currently languishing in a French jail cell after attempting to join Danny Tommo in France. Reece spent the day desperately calling Tommo, who completely ghosted him. Reece decided to go it alone...
- ....harassed some refugees in Calais, got arrested, and is now housed in an immigration facility in France, awaiting deportation.
- Noticeably absent from the march were a couple of local fascists currently facing some legal trouble following recent arrests.
- Veteran Exeter fascist Thomas Dunne was also present. Dunne has previous links to Turning Point UK, going back to at least September 2024 when he was interviewed regarding ‘two-tier policing’ after he was arrested for wearing a burqa and pretending to pray inside a branch of Debenhams.
- Newly on our radar following UKIP’s visit to the city is Sam Smith, also of Exeter, who also goes by ‘Da Smix MC’ and ‘Sam Da Smix’
- Also making his comeback on the far-right street scene after a long absence was Reform member Frankie Rufolo, briefly famous for burning a Quran in a branch of Wetherspoon. He attended wearing a Reform badge, and a Marine Le Pen T-Shirt
- Britain First were represented on the march by Chris John of Torquay, and fascist thug Nick Hubble of Exeter. Hubble, like Bamford, is a relative of Nigel Murfin. Hubble was recently arrested for assaulting an SUTR activist that was attempting to stop him from harassing refugees.
- Unfortunately for Bamford, his behaviour appears to be meeting some resistance from the local community. He arrived in Exeter to see his face splashed all over the city, referring to him as a “cowardly Nazi”. Bamford was overheard calling his Mum to let her know their address had been exposed.
- Also making an appearance in Exeter was Troy Bamford of Barnstaple, who spent many a Saturday outside the Hampton hotel, shouting abuse at vulnerable women and children through a megaphone.
- These three, alongside Dean’s partner - Ellie Castle - are now the driving force behind the far-right’s renewed street presence in and around Exeter. Castle works at St Leonard’s pharmacy in the city, where we’re sure her patients are not yet aware of her far-right activity.
- The other key members of the SWPA are Matt Dean of Exeter, and Charlie Finney of Torbay. Finney hasn't attempted to decouple his business - The Removal Man Torbay - from his far-right views and posts. Dean isn't shy - announcing himself as a "full on educated ethno-nationalist historian racist"
- Rowe has also been heavily involved – on a local level – in Operation Raise the Colours, organising the erection of flags in Cranbrook and Exeter, and leading a doxxing campaign against a local business owner who was pictured taking down flags.
- It was at these hotel protests that a new face began to emerge – Jordan Rowe – who is now the driving force behind the ‘patriot’ movement in south Devon. His group, the South West Patriots Alliance, have formed alliances with Britain First, as well as Flag Force Plymouth and Bristol Patriots.
- All of these characters made attempts to intimidate refugees attempting to leave the hotel, who were attempting to walk to the local bus stop with their children. Without the presence of local antifascists, Murfin, Grant and Heal presented a real threat of physical violence towards the refugees
- These protests were led by Murfin, alongside Marie Townsend, regional organiser for BF in the south West, as well as YouTube ‘auditors’ Reece Grant and Troy Bamford, ReformUK’s Dutch Dudgeon, Tory Cllr Alison Sheridan (now of ReformUK), and Pete Heal.
- Although the far-right could initially muster only a handful of protestors, heavily outnumbered by local antifascist and community groups who came out to defend the refugees - they built an alliance over the summer and were eventually able to present a sizeable force outside the hotel each week.
- Nigel Murfin was concerned about the image of his party – Britain First – due to the type of refugees at the hotel being exclusively women and children, but became the main tormentor of these refugees, when the opportunity presented itself. Murfin has previous convictions for harassing women.
- Despite acknowledging that the hotel was housing only women and children, the nascent fascist movement in and around Exeter made plans to begin protests outside.
- That all changed in summer 2025, with the wave of far-right protests outside hotels housing refugees, including the Hampton at Exeter airport. The individuals that marched through Exeter on the 17th of January first encountered each other in and around these protests.
- Until the summer of 2025, Devon had been fairly quiet in terms of major far-right street activity this decade, outside of the racist riot in Plymouth in August 2024, which also happened to be led by Nick Tenconi.
- Who were the Devon men marching through Exeter on the 17th of January? They were very excited by the arrival of Nick Tenconi with UKIP, Patriots of Britain and Turning Point UK - so much so that they completely abandoned their 'unity' messaging, and switched to 'mass deportations'
- ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.
- Part 2: Criminal record is something Byron Taylor aka Patriotic Christian cannot debunk. Further proof of this with the two photos and link below. He wore a mask to conceal his identify, fully knowing he's scared and has something to hide. www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/glouces...
- Part 1: Byron attempts to lie about his criminal record that he didn't assault three school pupils. As a result of his racially abusive violence he was jailed for 18 months, apparently this was "debunked 3 years", someone tell him you can't debunk a criminal record.

- ** Bluesky Exclusive before IG ** Ex-UVF terrorist bank robber Mark Sinclair aka Freedomdad73 attended a Bristol protest on 10/01/2026. Below is Mark with a gun robbing a bank in 2003. He's harassed Sinn Fein politicians, involved in animal cruelty & lied about being in MI5. One dangerous man!

- ** Bluesky First before IG ** Nigel Christopher Michael Murfin aka Devon Audits has a history of harassing, threatening, abusing and misogynistic behaviour towards women that shouldn't be tolerated. He continuously instils this behaviour even today! One vile, horrid frauditor.
