Start with White Vanguard Part 1
Introducing Archibald Redding from West Bromwich. Archi came out of football culture and was part of many of the 2024 Tommy Robinson protests around London.
Archi like his friends helped to create Youth Alliance and one its key organizers during its short life. Surprisingly Archi was often seen as a moderate by others, he would apologise and make excuses for some of the more reckless actions by Harry Leworthy and Max Cleeve.
He later used this moderate approach to sabotage his former friends within Football Lads Protecting Britain while in a prominent role within their group
Archi however was not by any means a moderate, during in his time in Youth Alliance, he targeted a Palestine stall in his local area punching one of the PSC organisers. As seen in our previous threads, he did not believe that this could be won any other way then on the streets.
Archi turning from football hooliganism down a far right rabbit hole though ain’t a major surprise. Some of his family such as Matt Redding were supportive of the EDL and the Chelsea Headhunters. He would’ve grown up around this racist rhetoric throughout his childhood.
Tomorrow our next thread will discuss one of the main faces of White Vanguard and take a look behind some of the public facing stuff we already know.
