White called him \"a complete charlatan\" in a public tirade, rocking their shared movement. The row went public this week, as reported in *Crime World* on **5 April 2026**.[[1]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html)\n\nBoth are vocal online figures in Belfast's far-right circles, pushing anti-immigrant views amid rising tensions.\n\n## Key points\n- New rift in Belfast's \"fanatical anti-immigrant movement\" pits **Freedom Dad** against online rival **Freedom Ma**.[[1]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html)\n- **Lisa White**, aka Freedom Ma, was pictured in east Belfast this week; she is a member of Parents Against Predators.[[1]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html)\n- **Mark Sinclair**, Freedom Dad, is a convicted UVF bank robber who has become a prominent anti-immigrant activist and self-styled citizen journalist.[[2]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/far-right-activist-freedom-dad-relives-gang-attack-and-hits-back-at-paedo-jibe/a/143249964.html)\n- Feud exploded publicly via social media, with White's direct attack labelling Sinclair a fraud.\n- Article framed under \"RIGHT DING-DONG,\" highlighting the row's dramatic tone in local crime reporting.[[1]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html)\n\n## Details and context\n**Freedom Dad** (Sinclair) has a history as a UVF member from Belfast's Shankill area, convicted in 2003 for bank robberies in Scotland where he served 18 years. He claimed in court he spied for security services on other loyalists, though this was later doubted; now he streams protests and defends far-right figures.[[3]](https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/07/09/former-loyalist-uvf-prisoner-addressed-anti-immigration-protest-at-dublins-gpo)[[4]](https://hopenothate.org.uk/2025/11/04/patriots-on-the-prowl-the-rise-in-anti-migrant-vigilantism)\n\n**Freedom Ma** (White) belongs to Parents Against Predators, a group focused on child protection but overlapping with anti-immigrant vigilantism. Less is publicly known about her beyond this feud and east Belfast activism.[[1]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html)\n\nBelfast's far-right scene stays small and fractured, with past infighting like Sinclair's rows with other vigilantes over \"betrayal.\" Recent events include Sinclair's March 2026 gang attack in Bangor, which he tied to activist feuds.[[2]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/far-right-activist-freedom-dad-relives-gang-attack-and-hits-back-at-paedo-jibe/a/143249964.html)\n\n## Key quotes\n- Lisa White on Mark Sinclair: “a complete charlatan.”[[1]](https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html)\n\n## Why it matters\nBelfast's anti-immigrant far-right, already marginal, faces further splits that could sap its momentum amid ongoing migration debates. For locals, it means more online noise from ex-paramilitaries but little real street impact. Watch social media for escalation, though these rows often fizzle without broader traction.","hashtags":["#far-right","#northern-ireland","#belfast","#anti-immigration","#loyalism","#feud"],"sources":[{"url":"https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/freedom-ma-vs-freedom-dad-as-bitter-far-right-feud-explodes-into-public/a/145209973.html","title":"Original article"},{"url":"https://www.crimeworld.com/northern-ireland/far-right-activist-freedom-dad-relives-gang-attack-and-hits-back-at-paedo-jibe/a/143249964.html","title":""},{"url":"https://www.irishtimes.com/ireland/2025/07/09/former-loyalist-uvf-prisoner-addressed-anti-immigration-protest-at-dublins-gpo","title":""},{"url":"https://hopenothate.org.uk/2025/11/04/patriots-on-the-prowl-the-rise-in-anti-migrant-vigilantism","title":""}],"viewCount":3,"publishedAt":"2026-04-05T19:29:35.151Z","createdAt":"2026-04-05T19:29:35.151Z","articlePublishedAt":null}
