Recently added to Who's Who in the Dissident Right, a biographical guide to the colorful characters of the right-wing
Born in 1980 in the North of England, Collett is an extremely short man with a strangely Jewish appearance for someone who mainly blames the Jews for the ills of the world.
He is best known for his professionally produced and relatively successful YouTube channel on which he attacks the usual low-hanging fruit of Leftist insanity in a droning monotone, but puts in enough anti-Jewish dog whistles to keep his audience on the anti-Semitic plantation. This channel was launched in October 2016, soon after the Alt-Right became mainstream news. It quickly gained tens of thousands of subscriptions in excess of normal organic growth, suggesting that it was artificially boosted.
Before the launch of his channel, Collett already had a long and extremely compromised history in British nationalism, but had been pretty dormant for some time beforehand.
He first rose to prominence as a BNP youth leader, when Russel Brand made him the main focus of a documentary he was doing on the so-called "far-right" in 2002. During what was obviously a hit piece, Collett was quoted saying a few things that were relatively normal for young, working class, White kids to say. But this was used to present Collett in as negative a light as possible, forcing the BNP to temporarily kick him out of the party.
In 2004 Collett was in trouble again after an undercover BBC crew filmed him saying "bad words" at a BNP meeting, leading to a trial alongside BNP leader Nick Griffin at which he was acquitted. Around this time, he also started to do graphic design on the BNP's monthly magazine Identity, then edited by John Bean. In 2010, as the BNP started to implode, Collett fell out with Griffin and was therefore left high and dry as an unemployable "ex-Nazi."
Although there is as yet no hard proof that Collett has been "turned," his circumstances and trajectory raise a few red flags. His obvious lack of prospects outside of politics from 2010 onward, along with his late arrival in the Alt-Right, pushing a brand of nationalism designed to seem "moral" and "respectable" to Alt-Righters while seeming toxic, anti-Semitic bilge to normies is troubling, as is this extremely well-known photo of Collett.
Because Collett has effectively been branded as "Nazi Boy" by the British media, his recent attempt to start a political party "The Patriotic Alternative," must be viewed as doomed from the start and therefore serving only to waste nationalist energies, which may indeed be its entire purpose.
In April 2020, Collett broke with Millennial Woes after it emerged that Woes had been behaving in an extremely "degenerate" manner and had been accused of sexual assault by one young lady. This reminded those of us with longer memories that Collett also had his own little "sex scandal" back in 2006, when he and another member of the BNP were disciplined by the party for bringing underage girls back to their hotel rooms during a BNP conference in Blackpool.
