Lancaster UAF blog is the only daily-updating anti-fascist news source in Britain. The first port of call for any serious anti-fascist, LUAF's dedicated team of volunteers bring you news reports, original investigative articles, informed comment and so much more - and it doesn't cost you a penny.
We don't mind because that's the kind of people we are!
But behind the scenes there are costs we have to meet, like huge telephone bills, travel expenses, campaign costs, computer equipment, stationery - not to mention hours and hours of unsung work ferreting out facts and information and putting it all together. And we'd love to expand our operations, to become bigger and better - the best anti-fascist resource there is bar none.
Now we can't do that while we're worrying about the phone bill, so we have a little proposition to put to you.
If you're a regular you'll know how useful this resource is - so good that even the fascists come here looking for the truth their own leaders won't tell them. And you'll know it's been one of the most worthwhile projects in 21st century anti-fascism. While other anti-fascist sites wither and die, LUAF marches on.
So what we need, as you will have worked out, is donations!
Not just the odd bung here and there (though that's very welcome - be our guest!), but also regular, reliable monthly donations from those splendid anti-fascist folks who know a good cause when they see one.
At the top-right of the sidebar you'll see a rather nice graphic urging you, in the most polite terms, to donate to LUAF. Click it and you'll go directly to Paypal, from where you can painlessly donate as much or as little as you like.
What we'd like you to do is to set aside a small sum each month (how about £2 - less than the price of a pint?) to be remitted to us.
We can promise you - hands on heart - that every single penny will be spent on supporting and expanding the operations of LUAF and we promise not to take your money into the pub, make land purchases in Croatia, tour the USA, start double-glazing companies, invest in a mortgage-flogging outfit or spend it all on a third-rate record company producing rubbishy recordings by the likes of Nick Griffin. And you'll never be able to hire a skip from LUAF.
So there it is. What do you say? £2 a month! Will you miss it - nah - but we can use it and we will, every last penny, to the fight against fascism.

Consider it done and as a little EXTRA thank you from me for all your hard work please accept this small lump sum which is only to be used for an xmas knees-up:))
Good luck with this guys. You certainly deserve the support.
Brassic at the mo after a boozy weekend, but £10 next week then £2 a month, more if poss, after.
It's got to be worth it guys. Ketlan and co have never let us down so we owe them. Hands in pockets, c'mon!
As you say Lancaster UAF is the only regularly updated anti-fascist site in the country, whilst there are dozens of regularly updated Nationalist sites.
I think this says something about the appeal of your cause. No one is going to maintain a site that isn't being visited.
Thanks all.
As the post says, this is to allow the operation to expand. Obviously, with the Nutzis looking in it wouldn't be wise to discuss how, but it really will be worthwhile and you'll be very glad you contributed.
So please chip in what you can, and if you can donate a small regular sum every month, so much the better.
It is proper that those who utilise the UAF make a contribution towards the cost.
Unfortunatley I have reasons not to wish to contribute via "Pay Pal"
I can also appreciate why UAF do not wish to give out details of thier main bank account as the Nutzies, from Griffin and "Green Arsehole" down would use this information to try and disrupt the LUAF, and defraud the public.
It does occour to me that it might be in order that LUAF set up what is known as a "Collection account".
A collection account is a bank account where standing orders, Direct debits, BACS transfers, cheques etc are paid into, and cleared through.
At the end of every week or so the cleared balences are paid into the main account. The standing instruction to the bank is very simple. The only transfer allowed is the cleared balence out of the "collection account" into the "main account"
Both the Coop Bank and the Unity Bank deal with such matters on behalf of "Social" funds, though the other main clearing banks are very familiar with this collecting/main account method.
In circumstances perhaps you (collectivley) could use my e-Mail address to reply to me so that I may issue the appropriate instructions to my bankers to credit LUAF with a fiver a month !
And for those who surf this site £5 pounds a month is not a unreasonble burden -
After all its less per month that "Green Asehole" wanted to keep his "site open"
Hear the words of an "Old Sailor" one who is tired of the Sea
Okey dokey. Same as Xman tho, spent up at mo, but I won't miss a pint of lager of a Fri so that's yours.
Come on guys. let's invest in this group. After all they're fighting for all of us!
Many of those of us who enjoy reading this website on a regular basis hope that these donations will not lead to some utterly unjustified investigation of Mr Ossowski's Invalidity Benefits.
Perhaps though the Lancaster Deptmt of Work and Pensions Office should be informed anyway - just to clear up any misconceptions.

Gosh, how brave you must feel after typing that. What a valiant and fearless fighter for your cause you are.
Many, many thanks for the kind comments and the contributions so far. Be assured that every penny is appreciated and that not a single penny of your donations will be spent on anything other than our fight against the far-right.
'Gosh, how brave you must feel after typing that. What a valiant and fearless fighter for your cause you are.'
'..Be assured that every penny is appreciated and that not a single penny of your donations will be spent on anything other than our fight against the far-right.'
You sound rattled, Ketlan. I shouldn't worry - provided the accounting for these donations remains transparent, you'll have nothing at all to fear.
Your thanks are really not necessary, may of us who support this site recognise the valuable work that you do, we understand the time and the committment needed to run what is probably the No 1 blog in the country if not the world, we applaud what you are doing.
Unlike the sticky fingered NAZIs we know where the money will be going. So to the trolls i say get back in your hovels and dont try and tar us with your brush.
"Gosh, how brave you must feel after typing that. What a valiant and fearless fighter for your cause you are."
What a fucking grass he is, you mean.
"Be assured that every penny is appreciated and that not a single penny of your donations will be spent on anything other than our fight against the far-right."
You don't have to tell us that - we know it anyway. Ignore these morons who are trying to stir the shit. Any decent person will back LUAF up.
"You sound rattled, Ketlan "
yawn
I wonder if you have seen the latest Searchlight (November issue), page 7.
Under the headline 'Just a load of old rubbish?' and a photo of a pile of shredded paper, the following item:
'Searchlight has recently been handed a rubbish bag full of shredded paper. It is claimed that the bag contains BNP documents from two years ago which the Treasury Department was keen for the outside world not to see.
We currently have no way of ascertaining whether this claim is true but we will endeavour to find out.
While we have not got the time or resources of the Iranians, who painstakingly put together US documents left behind after the Americans fled Tehran, we will have a go.
What we can certainly say is that an initial examination of the bag does indicate that it contains BNP documents of some sort.
So, if Searchlight discovers anything interesting we'll be sure to let you know.'
If Searchlight discovers (after painstaking and time-consuming reconstruction) that this is, in fact, just a bag full of shredded rubbish, will they be sure to let us know?
I do hope so.
"You sound rattled, Ketlan "
yawn
Tired? Maybe a rest from your activities would do you good.
'What a fucking grass he is, you mean'
Well, you've got a point. But what about the recent Searchlight letter to BNP members - inviting them to grass up other members of
the party? You shouldn't try and have it both ways.
(On second thoughts that's probably exactly how you like it.)
Threats, insults and attacks. It's no wonder decent people regard the BNP and the other nazis out there as scum.

Yes, you nutzis would like that, wouldn't you?
The problem (For you) is that he and the others that operate this site have friends that are prepared to support this noble cause, unlike you Billy, who would even spit on you were you on fire?... It's true what they say, that a nutzis best friend is his right hand LOL at your sad little lives

Blah, blah
Who cares, are you contributing or not?
Keep the BNP fuckwits off this thread Ketlan. Good response so far, don't let them pollute it.
"we promise not to take your money into the pub, make land purchases in Croatia, tour the USA, start double-glazing companies, invest in a mortgage-flogging outfit or spend it all on a third-rate record company producing rubbishy recordings by the likes of Nick Griffin. And you'll never be able to hire a skip from LUAF."
LOL Bloody funny.:D
Titter ye not ! A year or so ago I was out of work. Whilst job hunting I was acting as a political organizer in my part of South Wales
Needless to say an "anon" letter went into the Job center suggesting that I was being paid for the time I spent putting the boot into the local version of the BNP, known as the "Yakidas".
Not very clever, read yer regulations correctly, the one thing you can not be hit for is working and signing as an agent or political organisor. All you have to do is sign that you are prepred to attend an interview, or place of employment at 24 hours notice.
I have no doubt that letters of complaint have been sent to your Lancaster DHSS already.
So keep yer bank accounts seperate, log yer time, and make sure that you can detail the time taken in your purely voulantery roll.(or however yer spell it)
As a counter attack "Green Arsehole" would seem to be vunerable to the charge of "Blogging" whilst he should be seeking paid employment, In fact he was pimping contributions for a new computer via 'Pay Pal' a month or so ago and money being received. If Lancaster UAF were to publish "Green Arseholes" IPS and home account I am happy to place such information before the fraud investigators. After all, this income effects his status as a recipient of Disability, and any other form of income.
Come on Brothers and Sisters lets do the **** for fraud.
You are a bunch of lowlife scumbags and the only thing you will ever get off me is what you really deserve, and you won't like that I promise.
Now go and die of AIDs you filthy cunts.
'I have no doubt that letters of complaint have been sent to your Lancaster DHSS already'
Not by me, so I wouldn't worry about it.
"your purely voulantery roll"
Exactly.
"You are a bunch of lowlife scumbags and the only thing you will ever get off me is what you really deserve, and you won't like that I promise.
Now go and die of AIDs you filthy cunts".
After reading that particular comment above I have made a decision to donate £30.00 tomorrow and hopefully more later.
its scum like that idiot that make me realise how odious the BNP realy are
irishtony
Couldnt agree more with irishtony, could only manage a small donation this week, but when i get paid will send more.
Please do not allow any more of the offensive troll posting, if there is one word in the english language i hate its the c....word.
Denise I see your old mate Brighton Rock as started a thread about this on Scumfront.
Do you pay him for all this publicity?
"we promise not to take your money into the pub, make land purchases in Croatia, tour the USA, start double-glazing companies, invest in a mortgage-flogging outfit or spend it all on a third-rate record company producing rubbishy recordings by the likes of Nick Griffin. And you'll never be able to hire a skip from LUAF."
"LOL Bloody funny.:D"
Agreed. Nice one Ketlan.
@ anon
Yes, Brighton Rock does seem a little obsessed, doesn't he?
From our point of view, he's the ideal BNP member: doesn't actually do anything physical for his party except to hang around internet forums getting into arguments with his own people and starting threads about me.
If they were all as useless as Brighton Rock we'd have nothing to worry about.
That he has managed to post 24/7 ever since I first came across him seems to indicate that he's one of the "scroungers" he talks about on Stormfront.
I've always entertained a mental picture of him as a snotty little wretch living at home with his mum and an inferiority complex,with his computer as a surrogate girlfriend.
But that describes half of Stormfront. The other half are a more serious proposition out in the wild...
...which is why you should donate today!
Best feckin £30.00 Ive spent in ages
keep up the good work
irishtony
Brighton Rock is the one firm, hard, erect thing that Sid Williamson has in his life.
So Brighton Rock is DG's deep cover PR man on Stormfront.
What an arsehole
Theres an interesting and sensible comment on the stormfront forum that you should know of (if you don't already)
"Indeed. Ketlan Osswoski's Lancaster UAF, and Denise Garside's Voice of Reason, are serious operators. Talking them down is idiotic. They obviously wish to maintain and expand their political activities. The notion that they've now simply decided on a crass ruse to extract personal profit is laughable. And they don't make the mistake of underestimating all of their opponents."
The nazis are obviously worried about LUAFs plans for the future. Go get em guys!!!
A lot of nice compliments theree from the noddys at stormfront
So Brighton Rock is DG's deep cover PR man on Stormfront.
It seems so. He's very good at it, though, as you must admit.
What an arsehole
That too.
20£ on its way
The "hope you die of AIDs (sic) commment must surely have come from Hitler-worshipper Mark Collett, Griffin's plaything who has wet dreams about dear old Adolf taking him from behind.
Please do not allow any more of the offensive troll posting, if there is one word in the english language i hate its the c....word.
I presume you mean "Collett"?
I am happy to say that LUAF have been in contact by private means and it is possible that that in he future LUAF will be able to run bank accounts.
This has ben made possible by a pooling of information.
Could I suggest -
Pool yer information
The more info is pooled the less problems there are !
Can"t wait till the weekend lads, see you there then , luv you lots
