Among the other community-minded types drawn to Ashlea’s movement are Paul Cox and Mark Smith. In 2016, the pair were jailed for 7.5 and 9 years respectively for their role in a Class A drugs enterprise in which £200,000 worth of cocaine was found across 15 properties.

One member is notorious Salford gangster David Totton, who was jailed for a brutal assault on two casino workers, and was later banned from every pub in central Manchester after driving his car into a nightclub following an altercation.

Simon likes to claim that she speaks for her area and that AFE is defending the community against unvetted men being housed in Salford.
But just who are the men that Ashlea Simon surrounds herself with? Are the men of AFE just salt-of-the-earth locals with legitimate concerns? Let's take a look:

In Salford, over 45 homes have been targeted in a spate of racist vandalism.
One person who has conducted a campaign of identifying and filming supposed HMOs on social media is former deputy leader of the far right group Britain First, Ashlea Simon.
Simon now runs her own group, All for England.

Shocking new @hopenothate article about the new far right group All For England. Struggling to think if we've ever come across such a small group with so many horrifying people in it! hopenothate.org.uk/2026/10/2…

Ashley Pollard was jailed in 2019 as part of an armed robbery gang that targeted businesses with female employees, seeing them as soft targets. The gang attacked nine shops and a travel agent, terrifying the very community AFE claims to defend.
The judge described the gang as “not intelligent”.
Another member of the group with a penchant for brutalising shop workers is Daniel Cooke. Jailed in 2019 after a terrifying attack in a B&M where they threatened staff with a zombie knife, the judge noted Cooke and his accomplice had an “appalling” criminal record, including robbery, burglary and drugs offences.
Turning Point UK has serious questions to answer.
Al Jazeera’s new investigation exposes the links between a Northern Irish paramilitary hitman and Turning Point UK, a far right group run by Nick Tenconi and Jack Ross.
This is not the first time undercover footage has brought controversy to Turning Point UK.
Far-right influencer Young Bob said that Nick Tenconi is a “f*cking idiot”, Turning Point UK is “under-managed” and “will not go anywhere”, and Tommy Robinson’s support base is “brain dead”. 😬

TPUK claim they are not far right and say that all extremists will be told to leave their protests.
But as HNH Head of Intelligence Matthew Collins puts in the documentary: those claims mean nothing because TPUK are in association with hardened extremists.
This week’s footage shows exactly what that company looks like.
According to Nigel Farage, Reform has vetting problems because it’s impossible to predict what people will say in the future.
But it seems even past comments can slip through the net.
Meet Sarah Wood, Reform Council Leader in Kirklees.

Wood is certainly not the first Reform Kirklees councillor to make headlines for the wrong reasons.
In just one example, Councillor David Rowan called for former House of Commons Speaker John Bercow to be hanged:
