Morgoth is a pseudonymous fascist social media influencer. The Geordie first gained a following among the extreme right via his blog “Morgoth’s Review”, which launched in 2014 and gave commentary on cultural and political issues. The comments section of the blog routinely received hundreds of posts, functioning as a far-right discussion board.

He has since broadened his platforms, establishing a presence on Twitter in 2015, with his current account at almost 53,000 followers; a YouTube channel in 2018, amassing 66,800 subscribers; a Telegram channel in 2020, with almost 15,000 subscribers; and a Substack in 2022. 

While Morgoth’s video content tends towards euphemistic language, his writing, especially for his now-defunct blog, leaves no doubt about his extreme racial hatred and authoritarian instincts. For example, in 2015 he wrote that he would be unmoved to watch migrants drown at sea: “Even if I imagine myself standing on the Italian shoreline in the Spring sun watching a boat full of blacks sink sending them all to their deaths I would still feel the same.” In another post entitled “Merry Holocaustmas!”, he wrote that “the Holocaust is the primary tool used to cripple whites in the genocidal war the Jewish community is waging against them”. 

In March 2015, Morgoth also spoke positively of Jack Renshaw, then a prominent figure in National Action (NA), a neo-Nazi terror group that would be banned under anti-terror legislation the following year. Morgoth quoted Renshaw’s extreme antisemitic outpourings, and claimed that he had contacted Renshaw to write for his blog. Renshaw has since been convicted for a plot to murder an MP and child sex offences, and is serving life behind bars. 

Morgoth has also shared NA propaganda celebrating the murder of Stephane Charbonnier, the editor of the French magazine Charlie Hebdo, by Islamists in 2015. In total, twelve people lost their lives in the attack on the magazine’s offices in Paris.

Morgoth also established links to the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative (PA) since its early days, appearing regularly on the show of PA leader Mark Collett and other related figures. 

Despite this long history of extremism, Morgoth has featured on the personal podcast of James Delingpole, The Spectator columnist, who referred to him as “one of the smartest people on the planet”, and been quoted on GB News.
