News from Fantasy Island

Page was created by user:dissidentcongress who, based on other things (c.f. Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress and MediaWiki:VfD-Populist Party UK) appears to be a vandal who is updating pages for either vanity or publicity reasons. No evidence that Harrington is a major figure in any way, shape, or form. Snowspinner 22:25, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)

That's taken from the edit history section of Patrick Harrington's ego trip of a Wiki page. It means that Snowspinner had the Great Fantasist sussed for the nobody he was (and is), so Snowspinner deleted the page. Of course the Fantasist put it back.

He spends a lot of time on Wiki, does the Fantasist - it's what general secretaries of fighting unions do when they're not ordering blogs into existence.

For instance, when Harrington and his BNP buddies hijacked the One Big Union the Fantasist began playing the fascist with the Onion's Wiki page, deleting links and references to the "official" Potter/Hawke faction using his regular name, "doublethink" - which goes clear against Wiki's policy on conflicts of interest (but that's the skulking way the Fantasist operates).

Now don't forget that just as the Fantasist created a Wiki account and began telling the world what a Very Important Person he was, YOU can also create a Wiki account - it takes seconds and you can immediately begin editing some truth into the pages of the Fantasist, the Onion, Third Way, the BNP and all the other fascist liars making a corrupt joke of the peoples' online encyclopaedia.

In the post below this we deal with the emergence of the Accentuballs PR company as a Force To Be Reckoned With when it comes to stopping Pentecostal churches pastored by black people being built in east London, but all the resources of the mighty Accentuballs couldn't save the Fantasist's "moneybomb for liberty" scam from going straight off the rails.

We're not interested here in the scam or the lying claim that the "moneybomb" raised only £2050 (which had better show up in the accounts next year, Patrick) of the £100,000 it wanted, what we are interested in is the fact that the Fantasist's pretend political party registered itself with the Electoral Commission as "The National Liberal Party - Third Way".

It's a fact that the Electoral Commission would not have registered the name "National Liberal Party" without the qualifying " - Third Way" as a legitimate (and decent) Liberal Party was already in existence. The Fantasist and his former National Front buddies who run the NLP-TW knew this very well, so it seems that all along they have been conning the Electoral Commission as they have completely dropped the all-important " - Third Way" qualification from almost every mention of the "National Liberal Party", even the title of their website:


That's very naughty, as the Fantasist and his band of dreamers aren't playing a fair game - so we thought we'd let the EC (and the real Liberal Party) in on the plot. Why not do the same yourself?

Rounding off (yet another) week of failure for the Fantasist, we see that the One Big Huge Vast Onion allowed its domain names to expire...


...but the Onion has (just) gone back online, so if you want to read the "Aprill 2008" bulletin (the latest) and cough up towards the £250 answerphone appeal (the Big Idea at this year's Onion conference), you can.

We'll pass. Always wants somebody else's money, that Fantasist.

Accentuate PR rises without trace - until you read about it here

It's here at last! (But we're not linking to it.) The brand-spanking new website of Accentuate PR - public relations consultants to (apparently among others) "a Trade Union, political parties and a range of community groups".

Whoo! Not bad, eh?

Well... yeees, it is bad, because it's nonsense.

Accentuballs is a one-man band run by ex-National Front man and long-time friend of Great Fantasist Patrick Harrington, Graham Williamson, and like everybody associated with serial failure Harrington, Williamson has a penchant for making extravagant claims that have no basis in reality, such as:

HOW DOES IT (Accentuballs) DIFFER FROM OTHER PR COMPANIES?

The classic public relations company will be an independent business contracted to promote another company in general, to manage a specific campaign or promote products or services. It may use advertising, press coverage or printed material to build brand awareness and values.

Whilst Accentuate may use these tools too campaigning groups are not usually trying to sell a product or services but a message.

This message is the product. It determines the limits of the marketing strategy and which particular audiences to target. For campaigning groups the message is paramount. The message and the publicity generated will be altogether different from that obtained by the normal PR Company. Accentuate specialises in promoting Campaign groups, whether community groups, single-issue pressure groups or non-establishment political parties. It can also replicate this for individuals. We already list amongst our clients a Trade Union, political parties and a range of Community Groups.

The only place we've seen Accentuballs "strategy" in action is the free post-it-yourself PR-Inside website.

But let's humour Williamson.

His brand-spanking-new Joomla-powered website carries three ringing endorsements, viz:

Graham Williamson has handled or publicity and marketing almost from the beginning. We have found ourselves pitched against multi-million pound organisations. Graham Williamson has been able to present and publicise our position to the media and wider public at a fraction of the cost and is usually more succesful!"

Secretary - Adamsgate Action Group


"We could not have handled the launch of our website without Accentuate's help. They not only promoted the launch but helped focus our message to maximum effect".

National Secretary - National Liberal Party


"Graham Williamson has helped to bring our independent Nationalist Union to the attention of a wider public and helped to devise and implement our recruitment campaigns. He has attended meetings and worked closely with our National Executive at all times. Graham and Accentuate are doing a great job on behalf of ordinary working people in this country who want their views represented and communicated."

President - Solidarity Trade Union


Let's take them in order, shall we?

The Adamsgate Action Group is active in east London, and one of its major successes was a campaign against the construction of a Pentecostal church. Well, of course, ex-National Fronter Williamson worked hard against that - and when you know that the Pastor of the church rejoices in the name Dipo Oluyomi you get a better idea of where the Adamsgate Action Group is coming from.

Oh, did we forget to mention that Graham Williamson is also the Chairman of the Adamsgate Action Group? Well we have now.

The grandly titled National Secretary of the deliberately misleadingly named National Liberal Party is one David Durant. Guess what? Durant is ex-National Front, too. And what's this other name we see on their 20 member roster? Williamson? Graham Williamson? Can't be the same, surely?

Oh, but it is...

Funny thing about the allegedly ultra-successful launch of the NLP website that could not have been handled without Accentuballs' help - nobody noticed then, and they still haven't. We give 'em more publicity than Accentuballs ever did!

Accentuballs is handling the PR for the Great Fantasist's "Moneybomb" campaign, a scheme devised to chalk up £100,000 to the National Liberal Party's bank account by midnight on June 15th. It's well past that deadline now and the "bomb" part of the title seems to be the only part that went according to plan. It bombed. Currently the cheap and nasty webpage put up to milk the moolah is claiming that 205 people have donated £2050 - another resounding success for Harrington and Accentuballs. And almost certainly the biggest load of pony this side of Newmarket racecourse.

And so, inevitably, on to the endorsement from the One Big Vast Huge Useless Onion, general secretary the Great Fantasist. What can we say? What did you know about the Huge Onion before you read it here? 'Nuff said.

So there you go.

Accentuballs - not so much a PR company as a state of mind. As in "delusional".

Fascist party aims to con LibDem voters

Nobody ever accused Patrick Harrington of hiding his light under a bushel.

His towering self-regard and assessment of his own importance have long been a source of mirth to anti-fascists used to dealing with the inflated egos predominating on the extreme right.

Nobody does more to maintain his own Wiki page than Harrington (he prefers to be called "Pat"), the mystery being why he, Wiki, or anybody else should imagine the serial failure to be worth 2,571 words, and why Harrington thinks anybody could care enough about him and his obscure doings to read the self-penned personal bio he seems to paste at the drop of a hat in various places on the web.

As we've often noted, to read anything penned by Harrington is to step outside hard reality. His personal bio gives the impression of a man of political substance and achievement; his writings on the fake union Solidarity's website are of what you might charitably term the overblown variety; and over on the Third Way website we could be forgiven for believing that this fifth-rate National Front successor organisation, of which Harrington accounts himself a "Director", really is some vital think-tank throwing up ideas essential to the good of the nation.

The truth is rather more mundane.

"Success" and "Harrington" are words rarely found in close proximity. The "militant fighting union" Solidarity is largely reduced to issuing General Secretary Harrington's pompous and unremarked press statements and making appeals for funds (a telephone "hotline" - with answering machine - being the latest Must Have for the One Big Union and its 211 members).

And of the Third Way - what does one say about a "party" of 20 members that bores the Electoral Commission to tears with its windy account of its local election performances (successes = 0), admits to having only £88.17 in the kitty (2006), but which allegedly raised £1400 from membership subs (yet £15 x 20 = £300! - go figure), somehow managing to spend £560 of that on vague "internet services" (we thought Wordpress and the Masterplan theme - the very same as used by the BNP - were free).

Harrington is very much a man who rose without trace to lead organisations that campaign without trace.

The Third Way, of course, goes by the dishonest name of "National Liberal Party".

Many entirely honourable and respectable political parties use the word "Liberal" in their titles - most obviously, the Liberal Democrats and the rump Liberal Party. Quite why the Electoral Commission ever came to allow Harrington's "National Liberal Party" to contest elections under that name is a mystery, since the EC normally refuses to allow sound-alike parties to campaign when they believe a title has been adopted with the intention of confusing or misleading voters.

The name game may soon be up, however, for the "National Liberal Party".

On Stormfront Harrington uses the moniker "Doublethink", and - we believe - that of "Completely Blank". On the Green Bigot's forum the poster "Completely Blank" denies being Harrington, despite "Completely Blank" managing to sound in every way like Harrington, even down to the evasions and inflated claims regarding the bogus union Solidarity. At any rate, when Norfolk Unity insisted that Harrington was "Completely Blank", the great man took the matter no further and contented himself with trying to force Blogger to remove a picture from this website.

Giving Harrington the benefit of considerable doubt, we'll say no more on the provenance of "Completely Blank", but go on to highlight a declaration recently made by that entity on the Nazi Stormfront website:
The National Liberal Party intends to contest ten marginal Lib Dem seats at the next general election. In some of these the Lib Dems have a majority of only some hundreds.

There was a National Liberal Party in the early part of the last century so the Third Way's claim to the title could be said to have some historic basis. There is a Liberal Party and a Liberal Democratic party so why not a revived National Liberal Party. After all, in Ulster there is an Ulster Unionist Party, a Democratic Unionist Party, a UK Unionist Party a Progressive Unionist Party and until recently a Northern Ireland Unionist Party. As the EC allows all these varieties of unionism I can see no reason to prevent a liberal nationalist party from using 'Liberal' in its title.
Ignoring the feeble attempt at self-justification as to why a fascist party lays claim to the title "Liberal", the first paragraph of Completely Blank's posting leaves no doubt whatsoever that the National Liberal Party intends to go into the next general election purposed on conning votes away from the Liberal Democrats by confusing itself with the mainstream party, and - they hope - losing the sitting Liberal Democrats their seats.

There can be, and is, no other reason for the NLP to target itself so specifically - only against Liberal Democrats, and only in marginals where a small number of votes will decide the sitting MPs' fates.

No other no-hope party, to the best of our knowledge, has ever gone into a general election fixed purely on unseating MPs by use of deceit and obsfucation.

In our opinion this amounts to a clear intention to mislead voters and to abuse the democratic process on the part of a nasty little organisation made up of no-hopers and fantasists closely connected with the BNP and complicit in the running of the racist party's bogus front groups.

It is also reason enough for the Electoral Commission to strip Third Way of the right to campaign under the spurious "National Liberal Party" title.

We have already alerted the Liberal Democrats to the underhand intentions of the squalid NLP, but visitors (of all political persuasions) to this website can help by complaining to the Electoral Commission, and by bringing this post to the attention of Liberal Democrat MPs and LibDem organisations.

Follow this link to the Electoral Commission's contact web-page, where complaints can be made to each national EC outpost in writing, by email, or by telephone.

Harrington and company may well have over-stepped the mark with their premature blustering. Let's ensure it comes back to haunt them.
