“Auditing” is a growing trend amongst the far right. Drawing on the “migrant hunting” style of activism, auditors typically enter hotels housing asylum seekers to harass the staff and residents while presenting themselves as “citizen journalists” who are “exposing” the asylum system.

Over 2025, auditing expanded into a lucrative industry of YouTubers creating monetised content not only within hotels, but at protests and on the street. Provocative and antagonistic, auditors often target counter-protesters and members of the public, seeking to transform racist harassment into viral content. 

Charles Veitch

Charles Veitch is a Manchester-based auditor and conspiracy theorist. Veitch films protests across the country as well as everyday interactions with the general public, spreading anti-migrant hate and antagonising those he meets to maximise views. 

Veitch’s confidence appears to derive from the presence of his bodyguard, Fred Willis, who has kicked, slapped and punched members of the public who have retaliated – even just verbally – to Veitch’s jibes. 

MKR Audits

Kelsea Rouge (AKA MKR Audits) is part of a collection of Mancunian auditors who began mass-producing content during the anti-migrant protests of 2025. Others in the pack include English Ned, Ben Mills (The Ginger Patriot) and the YouTube account “My Brakes Don’t Work”. 

On Halloween, she filmed a protest at the Cresta Court Hotel in Altrincham. The footage showed protesters launching fireworks at the hotel, which houses asylum seekers, with one attendee shouting “get one through the window”. In the same evening, Rouge filmed fellow protesters chanting “jump” at a resident who came to a hotel window. 

Migrant Hotel Manager

Migrant Hotel Manager, real name Adam, is an auditor who previously worked in a hotel housing asylum seekers. He produced videos in which he posed as a resident and entered hotels to ‘expose’ the conditions inside – particularly the food. His videos paint asylum seekers as living a life of luxury off the British tax-payers’ money. 

Adam also posted footage taken from CCTV cameras during his time working at a hotel. Clips featured fights between residents, which Adam crudely captioned “Syria Vs Egypt round 1 fight night!” and similar. In August, Adam was arrested for burglary in relation to the food he had consumed in hotels while filming. 

Harry Jackson

Jackson is a member of the National Rebirth Party, a fascist microparty led by Alex Yerbury. 

He and his ally Ryan Ferguson have worked together to break into hotels housing asylum seekers, harassing residents and hotel employees on camera. Footage shows them walking down hotel corridors, testing which doors are unlocked; when successful, they burst into resident’s bedrooms and harass those inside. 

On his YouTube channel, he also films various protests and far-right events, where he repeatedly tells non-white members of the public that they’re “going home”. 

Ryan Ferguson 

Ryan Ferguson is a fascist activist who, alongside Harry Jackson, has filmed far-right protests and shot content in which he breaks into asylum seeker’s hotel bedrooms. Ferguson has previously been convicted of racially abusing a football player, and was spotted wearing a t-shirt covered with Nazi references, including ‘88’ (short for ‘Heil Hitler), at a Britain First rally in May. 

He became a regular attendee at Manchester based anti-migrant protests over the summer, but was arrested at a protest in Altrincham for chanting “National Action is reforming” and “National Action and Proud!”, a reference to the proscribed neo-Nazi terrorist organisation. 

AY Audits

Anthony Barnes (AKA AY Audits) has amassed over 134,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel. 

Despite being active in the far right since around 2018, Barnes gained traction over the summer reporting on anti-migrant protests in Epping. Since then, he has filmed himself confronting staff at hotels housing asylum seekers all over the country, often refusing to leave premises until forced out by security. 

Recently, his actions earned him a ban from entering the entire county of Surrey. 

DJE Media

DJE Media is the alias of Harrow-based auditor Curtis Arnold, who produces protest vlogs and street-style interviews where he harasses members of the public. 

Arnold is a convicted sex offender, having pled guilty in 2019 to 12 counts of fraud and one count each of voyeurism, causing a person to engage in sexual activity and making indecent images of a victim aged under 18. He had covertly taken pictures of women in a gym, one of whom was 17, while posing as a modelling agent. He later shared the photos online without content to promote his fitness brand. 

In 2024, he was detained and forced to delete his social media accounts after he posted covert footage of policemen removing the body of a missing woman from a river. However, Arnold was able to maintain his presence online through his new alias “DJE Media”, through which he amassed over 250,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel.
