The following article was first published on the website of Heritage & Destiny (view the original article here), the UK’s leading racial Nationalist publication of the same name, and is republished here with permission. Originally posted on May 4, 2026.
Lord Hermer KC is at the summit of the UK’s legal profession as Attorney General for England and Wales and Advocate General for Northern Ireland. He is also known to be Keir Starmer’s closest remaining personal ally in government.
During recent weeks Lord Hermer has been criticised for some of his previous work on legal cases that targeted British servicemen. Some have argued that a lawyer shouldn’t be blamed for taking on certain clients and certain cases.
Yet H&D can reveal that Hermer has a far more controversial past, which beyond doubt relates to his personal views and actions and not to anything that can be excused as professional duty.
As a young Jewish student in Manchester during the early 1990s Hermer was a militant anti-fascist, working with organisations and individuals that have a long record of violence and criminality.
In April 1991 the BBC’s Panorama broadcast an interview with Hermer as part of its investigation of growing racial nationalist activity in the Manchester area. (We are grateful to an anonymous patriot who provided us with the video footage below.)
Then known as Ricky Hermer, the young Jew proudly introduced reporters to his militant street activists undergoing martial arts training. He explained that his trained thugs would not only confront “fascist” politics on the streets, but would personally target individuals (by implication in their own homes). Hermer said that if “we [i.e. militant Jews] know somebody who is involved in making lives misery for Jewish members of the community, then we will provide physical opposition to those people.”
“We are prepared if it becomes more openly physical,” Hermer declared, “and we will win.”
What he meant can be inferred from the name of Hermer’s “anti-fascist” journal On Guard – deliberately chosen to copy the violent 43 Group who targeted Sir Oswald Mosley’s postwar organisation.
Many lies are told about the origins of the 43 Group’s name: in fact H&D has good reason to believe that the name was chosen to honour 43 Jewish paramilitaries who were arrested by British forces in October 1939 while undergoing illegal training in Palestine. They received long prison sentences, but Zionist lobbyists eventually secured their release.
One of those original 43 was Moshe Dayan, later Israeli Defence Minister.
The postwar 43 Group carried out many violent assaults on Mosley’s supporters, and was funded by Jewish gangsters including the boxing promoter Jack Solomons and East End mobster Jack Spot.
Some members of the 43 Group were closely involved in anti-British terrorism on behalf of the Irgun, the notorious gang responsible for many murders of British servicemen and civilians, including the bombing of the King David Hotel.
One young 43 Group activist David Landman (who later emigrated to Israel) was actively involved in an Irgun attempt to assassinate a senior British officer, Gen. Sir Evelyn Barker.
During the 1960s some other 43 Group veterans created the equally violent 62 Group, which was later guided by Israeli intelligence officer Monica Medicks (herself a former Irgun terrorist) to evolve into what is now the Community Security Trust (CST).
CST’s founder Gerald Ronson was in charge of finances for the 62 Group, working alongside its “field commander” Cyril Paskin and its intelligence chief Gerry Gable, who until his retirement last year (and death earlier this year) was the editor and publisher of Searchlight. Gable and two other 62 Group operatives were convicted for an illegal entry into the home of historian David Irving, where they aimed to steal documents.
Paskin, Ronson, and Gable planned many acts of political thuggery. One of the last 62 Group operations was in November 1971, when they attacked a conference in a Brighton Hotel organised by the Northern League, an academic racial nationalist group. Paskin and others received suspended prison sentences for affray.
Some years earlier, Gerald Ronson was convicted of a politically motivated assault on a member of Sir Oswald Mosley’s Union Movement.
It seems that these were some of the Attorney General’s early heroes. More specifically, his mentor in militant Manchester anti-fascism was Steve Tilzey, the North West representative of Searchlight, with whom the young Ricky Hermer worked closely.
Several years before meeting Hermer, Tilzey was imprisoned for his part in the kidnapping of a young National Front activist. Passing sentence the judge told Tilzey and his fellow conspirators, who included leading figures in the Trotskyist ‘Socialist Workers Party’: “the weapons you took with you are quite dreadful, capable of inflicting the most serious injuries and of killing in many cases.”
Tilzey and Manchester’s anti-fascist militants were proud of their connections with IRA sympathisers, and most notoriously with one of England’s most infamous gangland assassins, Dessie Noonan – leader of a Salford crime family.
For years, Searchlight worked closely with the Anti-Fascist Action organisation whose London headquarters was in Jeremy Corbyn’s constituency office. One of AFA’s main London activists, Patrick Hayes, was imprisoned for planting an IRA bomb that exploded at Harrods department store in Knightsbridge in 1993.
This is the world of militant anti-fascism. And yet (while there is no suggestion that they were personally aware of or involved in political violence) both Nigel Farage and the Labour government’s Attorney General have admitted working with the UK’s leading anti-fascist intelligence organisations.
Lord Hermer in particular seems to have involved himself in the kind of militant “self-defence” training that – were it carried out by racial nationalist groups – would be demonised as quasi-terrorist. He now has the audacity to cooperate with the Home Office in a politically motivated travesty of justice, excluding numerous patriots from the UK. Victims of this political persecution range from the French scholar Renaud Camus to the young Spanish activist and H&D correspondent Isabel Peralta.
Yet again, it seems that certain tribes consider themselves more special than the rest of us, and are not to be judged by the same standards they impose on the rest of society.
