:i refused to go along with what the quilliam wanted me to do which was renounce the edl. i wont do that and it was never on the agenda in my email exchanges with ghaffar hussain. he said i’d be asked why i joined, what i did, why i left and what i think know. he then released that load of old bollocks which i was never party to.Richard Bartholomew, Quilliam Foundation Abused by Advertised "Former EDL" Speaker, Bartholomew's Notes on Religion, 17 July 2011.

Hope Not Hate highlighted Brookes' role in the English Defence League and made a number of allegations about her associations:
::From Southend, Brooks appeared to play an organising role in the Birmingham demonstration [in August 2009], though she did have a pair of knuckledusters confiscated by police on the day. She is friendly with underworld figures such as Dave Courtney, Carlton Leech and Mitch Pyle, son of the gangster Joey Pyle, and also knows Jason Marriner, a Chelsea Headhunter hooligan made famous by the television documentary series, MacIntyre Undercover.Nick Lowles, Businessman bankrolls 'street army'- Key Figures, Hope Not Hate, October 2009.

::Brookes, 42, who runs SBK Security in Southend, said: "In Scotland, we will be demonstrating the strength of our support, which, across the UK, is growing at rate of almost 1000 a month. We reckon to have several hundred supporters in Scotland but it is a very big area, so much of it comes from cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh."Stephen Stewart, Revealed: English Nazis Plot To Bring Terror To Streets Of Scotland, Sunday Mail, 25 October 2009.

::Other leading EDL members have accused her of posting racist comments on the EDL internet forum.English Defence League cracks begin to show, Searchlight, January 2010.

==Career==
Having previously worked as a docker and a senior shop steward, McCluskey was appointed an officer of the Transport and General Workers Union in 1979 and in 1990 became national secretary for the union. In 2004 he was promoted to the union's national organiser for all the service industries, and following T&G's merge with Abicus was promoted to Unite's assistant general secretary for industrial strategy.
In 2010 McCluskey was elected the leader of Unite, replacing former joint general secretaries Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson who had been in the post since 2007. McCluskey received 101,000 votes, nearly double that of his nearest rival - Jerry Hicks with 52,000. BBC News, Len McCluskey chosen as new Unite leader, 21 November 2010, accessed 3 March 2015

In April 2014 McCluskey said Unite might not continue to donate to the Labour Party if the party does not win the 2015 General Election.

==Shooting of Adrian Guelke==
Flores provided false intelligence reports that led to the shooting of South-African-born lecturer Dr Adrian Guelke at his home in South Belfast on 4 September 1991.
::The lecturer was an outspoken critic of the apartheid dictatorship, and many years later he discovered that South African Defence Force (SADF) intelligence branch had doctored details from a leaked RUC Special Branch file, to make him a target for loyalists.
::The file, originally about an English-born lecturer working in Northern Ireland, who was a secret link between the IRA and the African National Congress, was revised by a South African agent, Leon Flores, in such a way as to suggest that Guelke was the IRA-ANC link.
::Flores flew to Belfast via London in the autumn of 1991, contacted the UDA, and provided its south Belfast brigade with the revised intelligence report.
::The UDA fell for his story, and targeted the unfortunate academic a few days later.Loyalists at war: Duff ammo saved lives, Sunday Life, 26 September 2004, archived on Micheailin's Irish Republican Fenian Blog, accessed 16 June 2009
