Luke Connors laying into Jeremy Costello on Stormfront made some pretty damn good copy the other day.

We figured, if the lad got that pissed off about an Australia First member not only sieg heiling a Rabbi, but then having such a sheer lack of self-preservation that he would tell a JOURNALIST about it… well, imagine how he would feel about senior Australia First figures organising Blood & Honour gigs.

We thought he’d probably be a bit cheesed off, but we didn’t think that he’d throw in the towel.

Luke Connors resigned from the Patriotic Youth League at 1:14am on Saturday the 11th of March, 2006.

When approached for comment regarding his hypothetical reaction to an Australia First member organising Blood & Honour gigs, Luke wrote:

Before I answer tell me this…..

1. Who is the member?

2. How long ago was this?

You are very likely to get a straight answer If your information is correct {and I have a feeling it is}. I have had just about enough of bloody nazis or half nazis of former nazis making me and everyone around me look bad.

This could very well be the last straw with me for this unfortunate so make sure to back up your statements {amazingly enough you and your friends have been known to stretch the truth a little}.

Lotsa love

Lukey wooky

When told that the guilty party was Welf Herfurth, and the guilty date was the 25th of Feb, he had this to say:

Is he in Australia first?

He is a bit of an interesting customer, I couldnt quite figure him out untill I checked out the German scene more closely, Its a strange place Germany. Welf should know better than to be associated with that B+H stuff, it is as even you have probably figured out, nazi to the core. If Welf is associated with B+H and AF then Australia first should probably have a little chat with him.

…

An ultra conservative militant youth group, thats what we wanted and thats what we thought the Newcastle people could give us. We just wanted to be able to express our views in our own community, one of our founding members in Melbourne had his family flee from the nazis for being outspoken Catholics for Christs sake!! {he has since left for obvious reasons}.

We never wanted a bar of this shit, but when you join something you give it a go, that is the Australian way, but after having to explain the latent tendencies of the Newcastle boys time after time to a multitude of ravening journos {God I hate those bloody vultures} I think that Ive done my part over the past couple of years

…

Dont get me wrong Jim is one of the most dedicated and hard working people I have ever met, everyone makes mistakes and they should not be punished for them for the rest of their lives {David Irvings case being a good example}.

He has inspired me quite a bit but he is all too ready to surround himself with the wrong people {which is not the best thing to do when you have such an incredibly colourful past yourself} I do wish him all the best but untill he has an organisation free of idiotic anti semitism {how many Jews are there in Australia anyway? JESUS CHRIST!} and moves himself away from unreconstructed elements {if you dont know what I mean you need your head checked}, I dont think I can support him any longer.

…

That said Dr Jim is not a nazi, neither are a most of the people in Aus first or the PYL but until the few {influential} Nazis are thrown out most of those good people will toil away for nothing. Its sad but its the way it is.

…

Consider this my resignation to the PYL. Its been great and we did try to do some good things {not from your perspective but thats life, opinions are like arseholes…. } but the actions of a few ended in the discrediting of all. You cant break ranks at a time like that but maybe I should have, thats the benefits of 20/20 hindsight.

…

P.S

If you have a free speech bone left in you {which I personally doubt}, then you will print this letter in full when publishing it, I have little to no faith in you but hey, everyone deserves a chance or two.

Yours in mutual disgust.

Luke Connors

NOTE: We have not printed the whole letter, contrary to the deep, passionate desire of Mr. Connors. There was a bit of irrelevant (but very witty) banter, however nothing here is presented out of context. We feel that Luke will be happy with this result.

Finally, as we do whenever somebody retires from a group, we wish ya the best of luck for the future, mateo. You made a bunch of bad decisions, but now you have the opportunity to get your life back on track. Perhaps take up competitive juggling, or synchronised acrobatics?

Luke Connors, formerly of the Patriotic Youth League, I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of you. (Prime Minister in 2012?)

UPDATE: Luke wishes it to be known that while he has quit the Patriotic Youth League, he still intends to be involved in far-right politics. In his own words, he’s “as retired as the Rolling Stones.”

We read this as meaning that he should have retired 20 years ago, but hey, each to their own.
