They have a new leader and are operating out of a warehouse in Warrington, Cheshire, says campaign group Hope Not Hate.
A far-right group proscribed by the UK government as a terrorist organisation is still operating in secret in a town in Cheshire, a new report by campaign group Hope Not Hate has revealed.
Hope Not Hate claim that the group has a new leader also, whose identity we could not verify.
The report claims that the terror group are: “actively recruiting, training and working out of a converted warehouse in Warrington”; the report goes on to detail the exact location of the building.
“Up to a dozen NA members from across the country regularly train inside the warehouse using knives and baseball bats”
Claims the report on the group who were banned in 2016 — the first such instance of a far-right group being proscribed under UK terror law.
“On at least one occasion, members have been ferried to a local hospital to deal with injuries sustained while [their new leader] puts them through their paces in preparation for the “race war” he and the other leaders of the group feel is imminent.”
The report reads.
In 2015, a member of National Action, Zack Davies, attempted to murder a Sikh man Sarandev Bhambra.
Before they were banned, the group regularly travelled around Britain hosting marches featuring Nazi chants and salutes and banners featuring swastikas and facist imagery.
In August 2015, the group sent a letter to Liverpool’s mayor Joe Anderson threatening “race riots” if he cancelled their event.
The group was banned in December 2016 under UK terror laws.

As secret police arrested opposition leaders in the middle of the night, Ken Livingstone backed the collapsing regime of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, blaming the country’s troubles on an “establishment elite” that previous governments had failed to “execute”.

Sssshhh. Don’t tell them about left wingers wanting to kill people who hold different political views.
And don’t what ever you do mention the poverty socialism has causes in Venezuela.
1. Talk about others to try and distract
2. Blame the wrong sort of socialism
3. Blame the Yankee imperialist.
It’s not working.

I’m surprised that Donald Trump isn’t too busy to comment on this article…

It would be interesting to find out what various things could have happened to make these people join such an extremist group. As with ISIS there’s always a background story. What can be done to prevent these people ( usually young men who appear to have a need to belong) from being attracted to such groups.
