After far-right Traditional Britain Group is exposed in an ITV documentary, oddball founder and ex-jailbird Gregory Lauder-Frost responds
Last night ITV screened an hour long documentary that “examined the resurgence of the far right in Britain; its expansion on and use of the Internet and social media; the internationalization of the far right with cooperation and contact between groups and individuals on a scale not seen before; the recruiting of more women and young people to different groups, and the impact that this is having on British society.”

Annabel Mullin launches a bold new political movement in the Royal Borough of Kensington & Chelsea in the wake of the council’s incompetence being exposed in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy This evening, at a public meeting in Kensington, former Liberal Democrat candidate Annabel Mullin will bring together “a diverse group of […]
In Exposure’s Undercover – Inside Britain’s New Far Right, produced by David Henshaw, not only did several courageous journalists go undercover within far right organisations but one also managed to infiltrate a meeting of the crackpot Traditional Britain Group in Mayfair, London. At that gathering, the compere was heard to suggest that there are “10 million aliens in this country who are ‘producing children all the time’” and referenced the group’s policy of seeking “voluntary repatriation of aliens to their natural homelands.”
In response, Gregory MacLennan Scholey Lauder-Frost (or ‘GLF’ to his mates) – a previous The Steeple Times ‘Moron of the Moment’, a man jailed in 1992 for theft and an individual prone to such remarks as describing Baroness Lawrence OBE, the community relations campaigner and mother of the late Stephen Lawrence, as “no friend of the English people” and “a complete nobody” – issued a statement defending the ragbag organisation he founded in 2001. In it, he branded Hope Not Hate as “far left… communists” and claimed “the TBG does not hate anyone… [but] we would prefer it if they remained at home.”
Elsewhere, in a video shared on YouTube, another farcical fool named Martin Sellner – the leader of the Austrian New Right movement – referenced the Traditional Britain Group’s members as “very British characters” and “patriots.” Plainly, he’s never met the likes of Lauder-Frost and the ‘Half Biscuit’ Viscount St Davids fan Benjamin Duncan.

Not him again.
Greggers speaks much sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Australia is making itself MAGA by turning back the boats and you f***ers in the UK should do the same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No more nasty $$$$$$ seekers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ben Duncan – What is he thinking joining this vile collection? I got the impression all he liked doing was fake tan and parading around parties in Belgravia.
Am I to understand that to be on the liberal left is ok and the use of social media etc while anyone with a different viewpoint using the same methods of promotion should be stopped. Not the democracy I joined up to!!
Abuse can come from the far left or the far right. Most lunatics I’ve personally encountered (and I speak as someone who has been involved in several especially unpleasant incidents) are right wing, racist and weirdly love animals more than humans. This article, however, was about a television programme that seems to have upset an especially unpleasant crank, Gregory Lauder-Frost.
That’s why the Traditional Britain Group (and others like them) always block and bar people’s comments on their social media if they express a different viewpoint?
Some very nasty people out there. I made the mistake of supporting Brexit and now I regret the country that came about as a result. Very sad to witness in my declining years.
‘GLF’ would be better called ‘Great Lumbering Fool’
Yet another incident where Steeples makes fun of the plight of the innocent decent heroic gent Viscount St David – Rhodri was taken from the arms of his loving wife and child and you make fun of it. Disgusting and I think Gregory makes rightful points too.
Your village is out looking for their idiot and you need to go home.

Have you taken your medication today? Because you definitely are on something.
He has quite an odious aura to his persona. Who invented the ridiculous name?
He should be sent wherever hence he came too.
Deport GLF!
Has Mr Steeples *ever* met Mr Lauder-Frost? If not, how can he write these defamatory articles?
Or is his knowledge purely media-based, therefore Left-wing.
So, anyone who disagrees with you and Lauder-Frost is plainly “left-wing”.
What rot.
And why do you use two email accounts to write to us and two names? You trip yourself up by having sent them both from the same IP address.
One can see from the tenor of this article, and from the deliberate choice of a dreadful photo of the subject, that the writer is far more odious than Gregory Lauder-Frost, a popular and much-liked person.
A second comment from the same IP address. What a lot of support your chum has. The man is a disgrace and has a criminal conviction.
The photograph is public domain and Lauder-Frost chose to give the interview. If he seeks out publicity, such is life.
As for Lauder-Frost being “much-liked”, I don’t think the large number of people of people who protested outside his workplace (he boasts about that) would agree with you.
And why do you use two email accounts to write to us and two names? You trip yourself up by having sent them both from the same IP address.
I can see only that the wind changed and his face got stuck that way. Poetic justice given his ridiculously pompous fake Wikipedia page.
Let us remove the hysteria and examine with a bit of forensic skill why often quite good people are drawn to political extremes.
The other day, a violent Somalian was awarded £80,000 by an idiot High Court judge.The judicial reasoning was that the Home Office, led by the utterly useless Rudd, has falsely imprisoned him prior to deporting him.
Our Somalian friend had a string of convictions for acts of violence. How he must have laughed.
We readers of the ST are more blessed than others. We lived lives untouched by crime or the problems of suddenly finding that a community that was once friendly has been highjacked by religionists with little tolerance for British values.
My wife is Japanese. I can assure you that when you go to live in Japan you do it their way or it’s the highway.
The point I make is a simple one.
The tolerance of the indigenous British has been stretched to breaking point by a political class that treats constituents as idiots. The net result is that the likes of Lauder-Frost gain entry.
We know that Ethel Jones is simpleminded so we excuse her idiocy in inferring that Brexit has changed the character of this country. Apart from the USA no country has been as welcoming to refugees as this one.
If politicians actually listened then we would not see the rise of the extreme right or the extreme left.
Teehee.
I rather assume that undergarments have become twisted over the criticisms posted elsewhere of the role of this page in having a man imprisoned for giving his rightful opinion.
A very unBritish thing to do, but that really depends on the expectation that one has of the originator. If not very high, then of course it’s to be expected.
Give them the tools and we would all be in the oubliette for having expressed an unfavoured opinion. Still the rag needs publicity I suppose.
You sound like a very f***ed in the head kind of person.
Considering Lauder-Frost is an immigrant himself, it’s curious that he’s spent decades ranting and raving about immigration to “our” country.
Perhaps he should return to God’s Own Country if he dislikes the United Kingdom so much – I’m sure his comedy Scottish toff act would go down a storm in Newcastle, New South Wales, his birthplace and homeland.
As a newcomer to your esteamed organ I note that the preponderance of -ve critique aimed at the TBG is concentrated on character assassination of GLF.
ie. Shoot the messenger and ignore/bury the message.
Such is the way of the most of the shoot & scoot extremists of the world.
For those of you who do wish to criticise the TBG’s message:
THERE IS AND HAS BEEN, FOR MANY YEARS NOW,
AN OPEN INVITATION TO ANY OF ANY PERSUASION BUT VIOLENT,
OF ANY POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, OTHER VIEW/SLANT/STANCE,
INCLUDING YE LEFT WING, TO GIVE AN ADDRESS PROPER
TO THE TBG ANNUAL CONFERENCE.
ie. Address/lecture to be to TBG expected standards usual and expected –
For eg:
See any addresses to conference, and indeed to events other, on *YouTube.
To that standing offer:
+ Personal security of lecturer + reasonable retinue accompanying, guaranteed.
+ No barracking of any lecturer is allowed during address
(*See conduct of audience usual)
BUT
the lecturer is expected to withstand and respond to a Q&A session at end of his/her piece.
(*Again – See conduct of audience usual)
+ All reasonable expenses paid.
+ A free lunch is given (sic).
To date, the response from the masses has been:
SFA. but for the united left wing against everything, predictably, stating
**They will not share a platform with Nazis.’
**To that:
YOU WOULD BE THERE TO LECTURE. NOT SHARE A PLATFORM!!!
In reflection:
But then again, if it’s not in their Little Red Book etc***, it must be fraternising with ‘The Enemy’ !!!
(***Other flavours of distortion are available)
+ + +
For meself:
I look forward to 2022 TBG Conference.
I’m sure I will hear of new aspects various to the general malaise of the zeitgeist.
I am of opinion that it will tend to an echo chamber if no opposing views are given.
+ + +
ENDINGS
For a fact to lodge in your braincell:
The TBG was founded by the disaffected/disgruntled who found they were excluded from expressing their point of view to UK Top Tables various
(aka, Amongst other platforms, Parliament)
despite the said disaffected/disgruntled were very well connected, to say the least they being members of The Houses****.
**** Other venues/vehicles were tried!!!!
