Talk:Martin Webster

Untitled

I removed the following sentence:

He is an active cyclist and is a member of recreational cycling groups.

I can find a lot of links on google refering to a Martin Webster and cycling but no confirmation as to whether or not it is the same person. As a consequence (and because it is pretty trivial anyway) I have removed the sentence until this can be ascertained for sure. Keresaspa 15:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

I've just reverted this nugget from Bills Gate. I tracked his edits after correcting another page to which he'd added similar claims: I'm not particularly familiar with this page's editing history (although I would imagine it sees its fair share of unconstructive additions) - but it might be an idea to keep a particularly close eye on it for a little while ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 15:59, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Webster v Hain v Webster

The following was added above (I've moved it down and attributed it) by anon user 86.162.233.159 at 14:10, 8 May 2011:

I just added this to the main page, and it has been removed already. Please check your facts; it was Hain who sued Webster and not vice versa as those morons in the SWP claim - A Baron.

If you're going to use citations please ensure you use accurate ones, not garbage like the SWP. It was Hain who sued Webster; he won the case and was awarded £5 damages. I remember this but you don't have to rely on old codgers like me, check for example the Times, which has no axe to grind and has at least some semblance of objectivity.

Despite the unacceptable tone of this and the lack of editing protocol, he has a point. Renton writes that "In 1982, Peter Hain brought a libel case against Martin Webster of the NF. He wanted to stop Webster from printing allegations that Hain had encouraged violence in South Africa and Britain, and especially that as a teenage South African, Peter Hain had organised a series of urban bombings which culminated in several deaths." (Source: The Anti-Nazi League as social movement)

In The Observer on 4 March 2007, Hain said "A couple of years later I sued the NF's Martin Webster for libel - and he admitted in court the Anti Nazi League campaign had basically stuffed them." (Source Ed Vulliamy, "Blood and glory").

Other sources support this. What is generally agreed is that the trial caused extreme damage to both Webster and the NF when Webster; he had attempted to use the trial to attack the ANL but was forced to admit that the NF had been severely defeated by ANL activity. That's what the article should say and I will correct it to reflect this. Emeraude (talk) 17:59, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
