The United Patriot Front’s Kevin Combes : Rapist jailed

[Update (November 2, 2025) : Sadly, it seems like the remnants of the UPF — now to be discovered in the ranks of the National Socialist Network (NSN) and its various satellites — have elected not to pass the Stahlhelm around in order to help Mr Combes: not even a Give Send Go! But speaking of the NSN, one of its recent recruits, Nigel Clifford (AKA ‘Stirling Cooper’), has been profiled in An Andrew Tate insider is helping Australian Nazis recruit teens (Sherryn Groch, The Age, November 1, 2025):

A close friend of misogynist influencer Andrew Tate is part of an aggressive recruitment drive to draw rich and isolated teenagers into the ranks of Australia’s neo-Nazis.

An investigation by this masthead has found that a key member of the National Socialist Network (NSN) is one of Tate’s close associates – and that the Nazi organisation is now using Tate-style propaganda videos to target vulnerable young men.

Ah: the affordances of teh Intarwebs eh?

In somewhat related news, the Australian Federal Police have announced (October 29, 2025) the formation of a new taskforce ‘to combat an online criminal network responsible for a range of crimes, including the sadistic exploitation of Australia’s youth’. Further: ‘Members of the network are typically young males from English-speaking countries with common beliefs on violent extremism, nihilism, Nazism, satanism and sadism … In Australia, 59 alleged offenders have been identified as members of this decentralised online crime network.’]

Neo-Nazi bodybuilder/personal trainer Blair Cottrell was once the fuehrer of a fascist grouplet called the ‘United Patriots Front’ (UPF), whose core membership included Kevin Combes of Perth.

Yesterday, Combes was sentenced to ’13½ years in jail for the horrific and terrifying rape of two young women 35 years ago’.

Between 2015–2017, Blair Cottrell’s UPF constituted itself as the political vanguard for the similarly short-lived Muslim-hating protest movement Reclaim Australia; much as Tom Sewell’s National Socialist Network (NSN) now forms the vanguard for the migrant-hating March for (White) Australia (M4WA).

I last examined what became of the UPF’s leadership in May, 2021. A quick update would note that:

• Shermon Burgess briefly converted to Islam before RETVRNing to his embrace of Nazism, and it was while wearing a Totenkopf polo that he led and spoke at the Canberra leg of the M4WA on October 19 to denounce (to some applause) ‘race traitors’ etc.

• Blair Cottrell now works as a personal trainer and otherwise remains a binfluencer who trails along after Sewell’s NSN and Matt Trihey’s National Workers Alliance (NWA); Trihey, once a member of the NSN’s predecessor The Lads Society, was the principal ‘organiser’ of the October 19 M4WA in Melbourne/Naarm.

• After successfully negotiating his various legal difficulties, like Cottrell, Neil Erikson popped up again at the M4WA in Naarm in August.

• Tom Sewell has raced ahead of the rest of the UPF pack, cucked Cottrell for leadership of the neo-Nazi movement, and could now reasonably be considered Australia’s Most Talented Nazi. Currently, he resides at Barwon Prison, awaiting trial over the the attack on the sacred site at Camp Sovereignty in August, the thrilling final chapter of the M4WA in Naarm.

Finally, on the October M4WA, Tom Tanuki provides the following account, which is highly-recommended (and as always: Never Read The Comments):
