From the Fabian ‘Wolf’ to the Communist Fist, the Left’s Long Romance with Violence
23rd February 2026
In a quiet corner of Lyon, a young man lies dead, his skull fractured by the boots of masked militants. Quentin Deranque, a nationalist student whose only crime was to stand in defence of women exercising their right to peaceful protest, has become the latest offering on the altar of left-wing fanaticism. The suspects charged with his murder are not lone wolves or aberrant criminals; they are the uniformed enforcers of La France Insoumise, men with direct ties to a far left wing parliamentary party and funded, indirectly, by the French taxpayer.
But as the French establishment begins to question its fifty-year-old assumption that the pariah of politics must always be the far right, we in Britain would do well to cast our gaze closer to home and begin rounding up the trolls of the far left for closer inspection by Prevent.
For the beast that stalked the streets of Lyon has a long pedigree on these shores. It often wears the mild-mannered guise of the Fabian, the academic Marxist, and the well-heeled Labour Party activist. And its philosophy, whether dressed in the tweed of the don, the Palestinian keffiyeh or the combat jacket of the Antifa thug, leads inexorably to the same destination: the doxxing, the intimidation, and ultimately, the grave.
