Nigel Murfin aka Devon Audits
A lot has already been written about Mr Murfin, particularly his multiple convictions for harassing women, but there are some recent developments of note.
Nigel is an interesting case. He’s perhaps the most obvious example of an auditor taking an open role as a key local fascist organiser, as well.
Alongside his role as as chief-clown-with-a-camera, Nigel is also a member of fascist party Britain First, claiming to be the bodyguard of leader, Paul Golding. Murfin was at the front of the failed Britain First march through Manchester on the 21st of February. He travelled to the protest with fellow auditor grifters Troy Bamford from Barnstaple and Kane More from Lyme Regis; as well as an assortment of fascists from across Devon.
Nigel lives in Bideford, north Devon, and has family links in Exeter, including his brother-in-law and fellow Britain First security team member, Nick Hubble.
Nigel has also been the main link connecting fascists across the south west in recent months, attending and organising far-right protests in Plymouth, Exeter, Tavistock, Bridgewater and Bristol. He’s currently on bail and not allowed to attend protests in Exeter, after racially abusing a security guard.
He’s the admin of the Facebook group ‘Our Exeter, Our Plymouth’, of which, interestingly, ReformUK Exeter City Councillor Anthony Payne is a member, alongside a who’s who of Devon and Kernow based fascists. Nigel presides over a feed of far-right disinformation content, much of it AI generated.
He’s also been using the group to cry about ‘far-left tactics’. It appears local antifascists have chosen to release the identity and activities of Flag Force Tavistock leader – John Carpenter – to his local community. This follows an attack by Carpenter and Murfin on a peace vigil in the town, and Nigel threatening, on Facebook, to attack a Together Alliance fundraiser, also in Tavistock. He didn’t show up, as opposition mobilised.
Now that locals are fighting back, Nigel’s not happy. Interestingly, his use of the words “harassment, fear and distress” is very similar to the wording used in his convictions for harassing women.
Complaining to the police when his bullying meets resistance is fairly typical of Nigel. He spends his weekends punching down on the most vulnerable people in society, and then tries to use the supposed disability of a fellow fascist as some kind of excuse for his bullying behaviour. It’s a familiar story with Nigel’s complaints about “scrounging immigrants”‘ when he himself has relied on state support for his entire income, for decades. He’s a bully, he’s a projecting hypocrite. Guess what? He’s a fascist.
He’s also recently jumped on the Christo-fascist grift. Pathetic. This guy hasn’t been to church since his christening – or his court dates, for that matter.
He’s desperately trying to up his grift game, asking his pals in all the local fash movements to support him.
