Yesterday, we wrongly reported that National Action had been banned. This was due to editorial oversight, and the article was changed with a retraction within a few hours (because unlike the Jews have claimed, we do not publish fake news, and the very, very rare times we make a mistake we fix it quickly).
Yesterday, I spoke with National Action founder Benjamin Raymond, who said it was extremely unlikely that the group would actually be banned.
He wrote up an article about why he didn’t think it would be banned, which we published last night.
Well – today it was actually banned.
BBC:
A British neo-Nazi movement is to become the first far-right group to be banned under terrorism laws in the UK.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said National Action was “a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organisation”.
An order laid in Parliament to proscribe the group – making it a criminal offence to join or support it – is due to come into effect on Friday.
It will be the first time a group engaged in extreme right-wing activities has been proscribed.
Under the Terrorism Act 2000, the home secretary can proscribe an organisation if it is believed to be “concerned in terrorism”.
National Action describes itself as a “National Socialist youth organisation” and says its movement is aimed at the “broken right-wing”.
Ms Rudd said the group had “no place” in Britain.
She said: “National Action is a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organisation which stirs up hatred, glorifies violence and promotes a vile ideology, and I will not stand for it.”
Proscription makes it a criminal offence to belong to the organisation, arrange meetings in support of the group or wear clothing or carry articles in public which arouse reasonable suspicion.
Penalties for proscription offences can be a maximum of 10 years in prison and an unlimited fine.
There are currently 70 international organisations that are proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000 – the majority of which are Islamist groups. A further 14 organisations in Northern Ireland were proscribed under previous legislation.
Following the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox, a branch of the group tweeted praise for her killer, Thomas Mair.
Mair was jailed for life last month after being found guilty of murder.
The home office said it took the decision to proscribe National Action before Mair’s trial.
On its website, National Action said it carries out “demonstrations, publicity stunts, and other activities” to spread the message of “National Socialism”.
This is the offending image that they claim was promoting terrorism:
A Thomas Mair Pepe.
I think it was actually drawn by one of our readers. And I’m pretty sure that isn’t promoting terrorism. In fact, Mair wasn’t even a terrorist, he was just a murderer/assassin.
I talked to Ben again today, and he said the decision probably won’t stand, and they are planning to appeal it.
But this is still nuts. It’s totally unprecedented in British history.
Effectively, this sets a precedent to classify any right-wing activism as terrorism, which is insane.
It may in fact lead to classifying all Pepes as terrorism.
These kikes are terrified.
But nothing can stop us now.
