Meet Tom Holmes The Rotherham fascist..

underclassrising.net | 08.06.2010 04:16 | Sheffield

A BNP activist is living a secret double life, desperate to prevent his employers from finding out about his extremist views – despite having stood as a candidate in last month’s election.

Meet Tom Holmes The Rotherham fascist..
Meet Tom Holmes The Rotherham fascist..


Tom Holmes (25) received 715 votes in the recent elections for Rotherham Council but has managed to keep his politics a secret from his work colleagues.

Holmes brags online that he is a “gold member of the British National Party” and models himself on his idol, Nick Griffin. However, he has hidden his political beliefs from employers TalkTalk, where he works as a field representative. In one online post he confessed: “I’m done for if my boss decides to look my name up as I was in the local papers. I told a ickle porkie and said I stood as an independent. Half of the office staff I work with are foreign…I don’t believe they’d be too understanding of my BNP loyalties.”

Holmes has even discussed online with pals measures he would take against his company if they discovered his true identity and tried to take action against him.

The self-stlyed “loyal Griffinite” was left running scared when one local nearly revealed his identity and BNP links. “One day I’m gonna run into someone that knows me and out me as a BNP candidate in front of one of my colleagues,” he explained in an online posting. “Only just started this job not quite ready to get the sack yet. Someone in Dinnington recognized me whilst I was with a colleague but thankfully couldn’t put his finger on where from.”

The far-right loner has become obsessed with online chats since his girlfriend left him over his views on immigration. He now uses his Facebook profile to vent his anger and regularly posts rants in support of Griffin, the EDL, and even conspiracy theorist David Icke. He says: “The BNP is in no-way affiliated with the EDL. But I admire them for standing up for their country. We’re doing it by the ballot box, they’re doing it the old fashioned way – a visual presence. Either way we’re both standing the same fight.”

He also uses his profile to discuss his contempt for co-workers “the people (at work) are a bit gay…who the fuck high fives in this day and age?” he declared in a rant. “Whoo wheyy we have to try and prove to ourselves that we’re a fun office so we’re going to go wheyyy then hand-slap each other whoo! – grow up ya gang of twats”

Holmes uses his page to discuss his “black book” of people to be “put up against the wall” as well as his anticipation for the coming “race war”. He also spends much of his spare time chatting online on his own personal adult chatsite – friendlychatrooms.co.uk

Contacting his boss

08.06.2010 08:21


His employer, TalkTalk, is owned by Carphone Warehouse.

So, his boss is the Chief Executive of Carphone Warehouse, Charles Dunstone.

Perhaps contact him and ask when this fascist will be fired?

I'd be interested

doesn't he look proud

It must be very odd working with a bunch of people you' hate and would like to see thrown out of the country ( or worse )Doing high- fives , trying to be friendly ,taking your turn getting the teas and coffees - or whatever they do at TalkTalk. Rather than report him to his boss though ,wouldn't it be better to notify Holmes' fellow workers about what a rat they have as a colleague?

The real Barnsley Bill would never say such action is the way forward the aim of this information is to let people know who they are working with, and stop abusing my name i disagree with The Far Right and would disagree with the throwing of paint or any damage, is it not The Far Right who act like such thugs?

Sad People?

13.06.2010 16:46

"Persecuting someone for having different views to your own. How sad lives you must live if you're busy harassing and stalking some lad just going about his life."

Lets just take a look at this piece of shit you just wrote shall we?

WE are persecuting someone? SO the BNP do not persecute ethnic miniroties, LGBT communities, working class rights/resistance movements at all?
Its just a BNP tit getting a taste of his own medicine.

Now, the accusation of being sad for "persecuting" a fascist - Tom Holmes is a nasty little twat who persecutes others merely on account of theiur skin colour, gender preference, political stance, to the point he feels he has to join and actively campaign for a political party that would repress said minorities and pro working class movements.
How sad is that? Sadder than giving a racist, homophobic class oppressor a taste of what he gives out?
No.
Tom Holmes is getting everything he deserves, if you persecute others you must expect the same back.

I don't believe Tom Holmes exists

15.06.2010 00:35

It just clicked..

a) Not ONE quote from this article can be verified.

b) I can't see any second story from Tom? Surely a genuinely, legit news report would have an official statement released by their victim, the victim in this case being a young lad called Tom?

c) I just googled "Tom Holmes".. the picture you have is obviously a lad aged no more than 18. Yet you claim he's 25, yet according to Wikipedia, Tom Holmes is a 70+ year old who is the leader of the National Front and a huge criticic of the BNP and thus is no way affiliated with them.

d) I just searched Facebook for a "Tom Holmes" as you claim that's where you got the quotes from.......... and couldn't find any picture or page that you claim the quotes are from.

I smell that this is a publicity stunt/dig aimed towards the ageing National Front leader, where you've for some reason slapped up a random picture of a young guy with a photoshopped rosette.

I've just outed this article as a complete lie and a farce.

Here's the real info on Tom Holmes:

Thomas Frank Holmes (born 1931) was the chairman of the far-right British political party, the National Front and a long standing member of the fascist movement.[1]

Holmes is a strong supporter of European nationalism and has stated: "I have contacts with people all over Europe: Austria, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Greece, Serbia, but none of these are official contacts, we have unofficial contacts, yes, we support any European nationalist party"[2] He has also been highly critical of the British National Party (BNP), claiming that they are no longer truly white nationalists and condemning them for having a Sikh columnist in the party newspaper.
[edit] General Elections contested
Date of election Constituency Party Votes %
1979 Yarmouth NF 640 1.2
2001 North Thanet NF 395 0.9
2005 Halifax NF 191 0.5

Wow.. according to the picture you posted, he's looking good for someone born in 1931 innit??????????

lol


BNP bullshit fools no-one

15.06.2010 11:37

Yeah right you voted Liberal, pullo the other one its got swastika's on it.
Everything you say, every so called fact you present in your posts are so blatantly written by a BNP arsewit as to be unbelievable, words like rape, sickos, attacking kids, its traditional spittle flecked BNP guff from the mind of a twisted bigot. Pretending to be Liberal or anti BNP "but think the BNP deserve their freedom of speech" is the oldest fascist trick in the book, so painfully obvious it fooled no-one the first time it was used, let alone this time.

Lets face it, Tom Holmes is a fascist, a bigot, a BNP member and soon to become unemployed, if he hasn't been already. No amount of rabid angry diatribe on your part, or barefaced lies, will change that.
Tom Holmes has been exposed as a racist, a bigot and a sad little man with no life (being as he's BNP - not a suprise there lol)
And now he's got his comeuppance, you can post as many lies as you like as many times as you want but that's not going to change now is it?

1 - 0 to the anti-fascists...

Contradiction

15.06.2010 12:53

You realise of course in the space of two posts you have just contradicted yourself?
First you wrote:

"I know Tom Holmes personally. He stood for my parish. He gives the majority of his money to charity. Including Amnesty International, he's an advocate of harsher sentencing for rapists and paedophiles because he is caring in nature and wants to put the rights of victims first.

He stood for the BNP because he has been let down by New Labour. While his Gran was dying of lung cancer and was refused treatment due to lack of funding he saw outsiders get preferential treatment."

Then in a follow up post you worte
"I just googled "Tom Holmes".. the picture you have is obviously a lad aged no more than 18. Yet you claim he's 25, yet according to Wikipedia, Tom Holmes is a 70+ year old who is the leader of the National Front and a huge criticic of the BNP and thus is no way affiliated with them.

d) I just searched Facebook for a "Tom Holmes" as you claim that's where you got the quotes from.......... and couldn't find any picture or page that you claim the quotes are from.

I smell that this is a publicity stunt/dig aimed towards the ageing National Front leader, where you've for some reason slapped up a random picture of a young guy with a photoshopped rosette.

I've just outed this article as a complete lie and a farce."

So in one breath you tell us you know Tom Holmes and that he is "BNP lite" and not that bvad a bloke (while pretending to be a Liberal, lol)

Then in the next breath you tell us he deosn't exist!!!!

So basically you know this young BNP member who is actually a decent bloke campaigning for what is right but who actually doesn't exist???!!!????!!!!????!!!

Look mate, if you're going to troll, do it properly, don't contradict your own posts you thick as fuck BNP tosser!

Best laugh I've had all day you utter spanner, no wonder e veryone refers to you as knuckle draggers, you can't even lie without contradicting yourself. Funny as fuck!!!

IHTF


The truth about all of this, lol.

15.06.2010 21:58

The person posting as a person who knows Tom Holmes, is Tom Holmes and quoting himself and then pretending it's all a joke is so funny.

As a former member of his website, I found out that he is highly racist and the article is indeed true.

He did indeed stand for election, but didn't get in, his girlfriend did leave him, but because he's 25 and has never had a proper job in his life.

He lives with his grandparents and sponges off of them.

For months I heard all about his elections and listened to his racial slurs, alot of which can be found on the website address mentioned in the article.

He was this big proud Englishman who was proud to be running for the BNP, but confronted here, he's first pretending he joined them due to depression, now he's pretending it was a joke.

He is a former drug addict and alcoholic who lives in a fantasy world, he lies constantly and makes himself look stupid, like he has done above.

Also, if anyone here would like to see some forum posts of his from the last few days where he's threatened to dig up the dead pet of his ex girlfriend because she wont take him back, then ask and I'll be more than happy to pass them on.

To the point

17.06.2010 16:33

Indeed 2 Tom Holmes exists, one that is old, one that is young. Do not mix either of them up.

To hear the young Tom Holmes BNP campaign just youtube this:

Tom Holmes, Aston Man, BNP

Tom has on many occasion been vile abusive and racist. He will of course deny this, as he denies everything he does. I believe in karma. What comes around, goes around.

Tom D Holmes Bollock talker extraordinaire

17.06.2010 18:35

Upper class? Yeah right fuck off, I must be the first upper class lorry loader in history, eating endangered salmon? I'm vegetarian, so fuck off again.

Yeah they said on the Facebook link I posted that you didn't work for Talk Talk but that they would contact your emplyors, and IF you haven't got the sack then I doubt a lot of your workmates want to talk to you, as you are now finding out the BNP are not too popular - as you all found out at the last elections as well ha ha - how many votes did you lose by again?

As another poster has said, you have made a lot of vile and racist comments in the past, and they have been recorded, people are aware, and "karma" might just kick you up the arse yet, especially as the things you have said become more widespread and well known.

I predict a bit of a shit storm coming your way!

IHTF


Oh yeah

17.06.2010 18:41

What did your boss have ot say about this?

"He also uses his profile to discuss his contempt for co-workers “the people (at work) are a bit gay…who the fuck high fives in this day and age?” he declared in a rant. “Whoo wheyy we have to try and prove to ourselves that we’re a fun office so we’re going to go wheyyy then hand-slap each other whoo! – grow up ya gang of twats”

Tom Holmes

23.06.2010 09:18



One only has to look at where Tom goes online to see his constant, lies, abuse, and boasting of taking drugs and drinking himself more stupid than he already is.
Here is a lovely picture of Holmes on his webcam when he lost a lot of weight due to his daily life of Drug taking  http://www.postimage.org/aV1olPh9.jpg  http://www.postimage.org/aV1onVtJ.jpg (don't worry Tom, I have them saved ;) )
Tom Holmes is a serial liar, abuser, and impersonator of people online. Tom also uses www.justchat.co.uk under the names of smiley, and ToMmY-ToXeN.
He now also hides on another site under the name "Tom" on a site called www.patschat.co.uk
Have a look for yourself at this idiots online history and judge for yourself, instead of the bullsh!t he usually comes out.

BZP & legal highs

24.06.2010 00:05

You stir up a very good debate there. Although legal highs are much safer than their illegal counter-parts and are much less addictive, they do have similar side effects when it comes to suppressing appetite.

I'm glad you uploaded those pictures because it was actually one of my key political issues once I get to a high enough level to input my opinion on official policy.

I believe we should take the drugs industry away from organized criminals, take their market away and they will disappear - ending a lot of crime. It will also end a lot of deaths, as the majority of drug-related deaths are caused by the substances being cut.

Where-as the legal highs that you have posted (the top one I believe were called "Fast & Furious" by London Underground and the bottom "Snowball".

I had an interesting discussion about it with a couple of people on FB actually:

 http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4505/pwnedb.jpg

It's a very good point you made - no political party, even the BNP, has an official stance on these legal highs and how to tackle illegal drugs trade efficiently?

I'm sure even the loony lefties agree with me that the government is completely useless when it comes to dealing with the drugs trade.
