I've just re added a link to 'The Rose & The Oak Leaf' News blog as they have connections with combat18, so it is relevant to the topic matter. I've actually registered on here as I'm not impressed at recieving a message from some jumped up poster called 'Mushroom' who removed the link and accused me of advertising my site, er it's not my site??????

I have just removed the link to "combat 18's website". Whilst non-sympathetic to both organsiations the BNP isn't combat 18 (although perhapps (?) past incarnations of both organisations have been connected), hyper-linking C18 to the BNP website is not NPOV in my opinion Jackliddle 23:55, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)


Is the MI5 stuff actually based in facts or is it conspiracy-theory hogwash? It seems kinda CIA-invented-AIDS-esque.

Even if MI5 didn't control Combat 18, many of it's"far right" "neo-nazi" (or whatever phraseyou want to use) opponents believe it was and in the book White Riot: The Violent History Of Combat 18 by the co-editor of the anti-facist searchlight magazine Nick Lowes says the theory "isn't as ridicouous as it may sound." (or words to that effect).

(From Captain-c) maybe you should include this comment about the MI5 theory as a footnote?

  • I added a section regarding the allegations made against both Charlie Sargent and C18 being a MI5 set-up. One C18 member who regarded these unproven allegations as MI5 disinformation designed to split C18 and cause doubt about Charlie Sargent was David Myatt who wrote and circulated several internal defences of Charlie Sargent and C18. In this campaign of disinformation, people like Myatt believed MI5 used people in the Searchlight organization to spread rumour and suspicion. 65.57.106.52 12:52, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vanessa Regrave

Apprantly Vanessa Redgrave was on Combat 18's hitlist? Maybe this could be added to the site. i have no idea why she would be though.

Vanessa Redgrave is a high profile supporter of the Workers Revolutionary Party -or whatever splinter she now adheres to. Streona 08:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Myatt

I found his piece highly amusing, his concept that people should never on any account be considered guilty of anything (except of course if their origin is anything but Northern European) was as well put as a man without a gra--61.5.136.6 14:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)sp on logic could make and, accordingly, was hilarious with its disregard for reason and rational sense.

[edit] Will Browning?

Find it odd that there's no mention of the activities of Will "The Beast" Browning in here: one of the more extreme members of Combat 18, on the international Neo-Nazi stage, a former colleague of the Sargents, yet no mention?

[edit] Ulster Support For Israel

There should be a citation for this.Whoever has seen Israeli flag flying in Belfast or any Ulster politician talking about Middle East? --61.5.136.6 14:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

They were quite common a couple of years ago. I've added a source. Stu ’Bout ye! 14:42, 23 June 2006 (UTC)


Sorry, but I wasn't sure how to add a new title, so I'm putting what I've got to say here. With regards to the current Combat 18 - and specifically the video in which a man in a balaclava cocks a gun; I'm certain that the video is actually pre 2001, at least. I remember seeing the exact same video on a world in action special report, which I think was broadcasted around 1997.

[edit] POV

However many [weasel words] Ulster loyalists, including members of the Ulster Volunteer Force, have openly stated their opposition to Neo-Nazism,cite pointing out that it was the Republican IRA who collaborated with Nazi spies in Ulster during the Second World War,[Bringing in the IRA here is unnecessary this has nothing to do with the IRA, The UVF where NOT fighting the IRA during WWII]while Protestants remained loyal to British democracy[meaning Catholics didn't?] [Just like they where loyal to British democracy when they received a SHITLOAD of weapons from Imperial Germany?]. Combat 18 has been further blocked from expansion in Northern Ireland by Ulster Protestant support for Israel, whose flag is often flown alongside the British Union Jack in Loyalist areas.[4] Loyalists [all?]] claim to identify with Israel's position as a small country under threat from more numerous enemies who have the sympathies of the wider world. Despite this widespread opposition from Protestant society Combat 18 members are thought to have made links with loyalists in Coleraine and Bushmills. Many C18 members attend the annual Orange Order parades in Northern Ireland. At a 1995 (February 15th) soccer match in Dublin between England and the Republic of Ireland, Combat 18 members led other English supporters in chants of "No surrender to the IRA!" after Ireland scored, and the English fans soon began smashing seating and assaulting Irish supporters nearby. The game was called off, and riot police were brought in to deal with the troublesome supporters. The Garda Síochána were later heavily criticised in the U.K and Eire[?????? thought it was the republic of Ireland!] for appearing to be totally unprepared for the violence despite being given intelligence by their British counterparts that large numbers of known English troublemakers would be in attendance.

[edit] future of c18

whats wrong with that section?every time it gets put up someone takes it down!theres nothing wrong with it! -unsigned

  • they have sections like that on other pages what makes this one any different?there was external evidence to back up many claims!-unsigned

If other Wikipedia articles have predictions about the future, those predictions should be deleted. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The prediction section in this article had absolutely no sources to back up the claims. Wikipedia is only for documenting verified facts. Spylab 14:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

If you can source the content, and frame it as such: sourced predictions, than it's ok by wiki standards. Beam 15:03, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] does everyone like the new layout of the page?

looks rather dashing. -unsigned

  • It does look better now; the images don't mess up the formatting of the headings and text sections. Spylab 13:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infiltration of Combat 18

Why was the section about infiltration of Combat 18 removed ? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.194.104.5 (talk) 23:08, 27 March 2007 (UTC).


Perhaps because it's not sourced, and is of various opinions of different persons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.83.207 (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
