Michael Horgan is an NHS nursing associate in Nottinghamshire, and is the man behind the Michator Media brand. Since appearing at an anti-migrant protest in Cannock in February 2023, Horgan has steadily grown his social media following and his YouTube channel.
Throughout 2023 and 2024, Horgan has attended a further anti-migrant demonstration in Cannock, as well as in Rotherham and Wakefield and the long-running and calamitous camp outside RAF Scampton. More significantly, Horgan has spent the last two years attached to a small group of migrant hunters including Amanada Smith (AKA Yorkshire Rose) and Alan Leggett (AKA Active Patriot). Together, they have headed to sites of temporary migrant accommodation around the country, with Horgan generally tagging along to locations in the Midlands and Yorkshire.
Horgan’s content is less regular but higher quality than that of Smith and Leggett, and he has established an readily identifiable style with eye-catching promotional stills. His YouTube growth, however, remains slow. Horgan also never appears in front of a camera, though some videos contain commentary.
