We can reveal that fascist party Patriotic Alternative (PA)’s East Midlands regional organiser, known by the online pseudonym “Anglofolk”, is 32-year-old Anthony Joseph Burrows, from a village close to Alfreton in Derbyshire.
Burrows is the author of a lengthy “advanced guide” to cybersecurity, published on PA’s website, which advises fascists on how to conceal their identities and avoid being “doxxed”. In the guide, Burrows brags about how difficult he is to track down online.
Burrows is the director of an engineering services company. A significant part of his far-right activism has been encouraging fascists to boycott the products and services of Jewish and ethnic minority-owned businesses, and to develop a parallel economy.
Burrows runs a Telegram channel with 1.15k subscribers, created in January this year, which he uses to give neo-Nazis practical tips on topics from shopping to cyber-security. The channel has promoted another which contains terrorist manifestos.
Burrows created a number of social media accounts using the Anglofolk pseudoynm in October 2019. His posts venerate Adolf Hitler and Oswald Mosley, and frequently reference anti-Semitic memes.
Burrows assumed the position of East Midlands organiser after the region’s previous incumbent stepped down in June 2021. Burrows was present at PA’s national camping trip in Edale last month where the photograph above was taken.
