After 3 months of investigation, we can reveal infiltration attempts being made by far right agitator and potential police informant known to us so far as "Skyler Firth"

Skyler attempted to infiltrate groups across radical spaces through a variety of personae and had some success. Skyler managed to become involved with the Revolutionary Communist Party and Socialist Workers Party Student Society

Skylar also gained sensitive information such as prior knowledge of the Palestine Action Teledyne action. Skyler's behaviour was very risky and was the reason they came up on our radar.

With zero sense of security culture and posts that would typically draw police attention such as claims to be a part of the Animal Liberation Front. Due to this most, groups because of this had the sense to avoid this individual and refuse them access to their space

However, gaining access to a couple of groups and information of a planned action puts every group member at risk and previous spycops infiltration shows that actions can get shut down and lead to state crackdowns.

Generally good rules are vet your members and keep your mouth shut about upcoming actions. Its keeps you and your fellows activists safe

When Skyler failed to get involved in a group, they would lie and claim membership or in some cases they would create their own group and try to recruit followers. Such honeypot ventures included the 'North Yorkshire Hunt Saboteurs'

NY hunt saboteurs are not a real group and their instagram page still remains up. Skyler used the logo of West Yorkshire Hunt Saboteurs and quickly was discredited after posting fake actions from fox hunts that didn't exist.

This all didn't go unnoticed though, Skyler boasted on a stream by the far right streamer Marti Blagborough. Skyler claimed to be a part of Leeds Anti-Fascist Network on the stream and due to Marti regularly networking with Lee Scheres it ended up as a post on Antifa Public Watch

After failing to make much progress in radical left spaces, Skyler took a turn to the right. Skyler was spotted recently at a Zionist demo despite repeated attempts to be involved at pro-Palestinian actions.

Skyler also ran a very short lived tankie campaign called the 'Russian Solidarity Campaign'

In April, a far right group quickly gained the attention of antifascists, a new group called Leeds Patriots appeared to have formed and was trying to recruit. Far right stickers from the group appeared in Leeds, Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon with a protest planned in Leeds

Under the pseudonym 'Jaden', Skyler tried to recruit far right activists and was encouraging actions across Yorkshire. The far right was quickly skeptical, the Yorkshire Patriots and those close to Alek Yerbury believed it was a lefty op and encouraged people to stay away.

While investigations were going on into Skyler, we were able to link Skyler's previous honeypots to the current Leeds Patriots group. After apparent pressure from police and local antifascists, Leeds Patriots cancelled the protest and has ceased all current activities

Skyler then appeared to return to try and get involved in Palestinian activism again and showed support towards Irish Republicanism. This was short lived and an attempt to join the Leeds Palestinian encampment led to Skyler being quickly ejected

Skyler has recently resurfaced using content that would be associated with the alt right and nazi acclerationism such as pepe the frog and skull mask content

What particularly amused us was the "action" in which Skyler appeared to hold Communist flyers that he claimed to have stolen. The "Revolutionary United Front" labelled on the leaflets is in fact another front group that Skyler created.
So essentially he actioned himself 🤦‍♂️

Along with the return to far right activism, Skyler has also returned to his auditing activities. This isn't new, back in 2022, Skyler was taking pictures of police vehicles and claiming to audit them

Now using the profile 'Based Audits', Skyler (holding up phone) has joined up with Marti Blagborough and 'Street Hawk' in auditing, including filming Palestine protests.
Rather curious as it was Marti that was responsible for Skyler getting posted on 'Antifa Public Watch'

These actions led to us to believe that Skyler is a police informant. He has tried to join anarchist, Palestinian solidarity, far right, streamer, animal rights and Communist groups. He often encourages chatter about actions and pushes for people to discuss illegal actions.

He creates front groups and honeypots activists for personal information. Skyler appears to have the funds to travel across Yorkshire and to create stickers and posters for every front group he creates.

This sets a dangerous precedent for those who have organised or still organise with him.
