Contract Killers and the Far Right is an Al Jazeera Investigation that exposes the links between the right-wing student movement group Turning Point UK which has organised and participated in anti-immigrant protests in the UK and an armed paramilitary who can arrange murders for money.

The investigation reveals that Allan Nesbitt, a violent criminal with links to a Northern Irish loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force or UVF, and the British Far-Right, is selling murder for hire. It outlines how his involvement in the UK’s recent far right protests and links to culture war groups, has law enforcement experts worried about a possible escalation in anti-migrant violence. 

Turning Point UK is an independent offshoot of one of the most powerful conservative groups in the United States, Turning Point USA. TPUK has been publicly endorsed by senior politicians and former government ministers in the British Conservative Party and Reform Party. The head of TPUK, Jack Ross, introduced our undercover reporter to Allan Nesbitt, from Glasgow in Scotland while organizing fake political rallies for the Zimbabwean government.

During a secretly recorded meeting the TPUK boss revealed that Nesbitt, through his UVF links, can arrange violent attacks for money.
