  1. > Members collected knives, daggers, machetes, high-velocity crossbows, rifles, pump-action shotguns, knuckle dusters, CS spray, baseball bats and *a longbow.*

    I wonder what the story is behind the single longbow. Was only one of them able to use one?

  2. This guy looks so normal, not what I imagined.

    Goes to show paranoia or war fantasies can get to a dangerous level.

    “We need to be inside the institutions so that we can be in a position to influence things, and obviously you won’t last long if you’re too blatant about being a Nazi. It’s what Adolf did.

    Makes you wonder if there are these types in the mainstream/tabloid media, driving people into these sorts of views. Or are they mostly radicalised online, by the likes of infowars, 4chan users, dodgy youtube videos and those weird far-right blogs full of unchecked claims?

  3. To put this in perspective, a man has recently been handed a seven year sentence and a £1m fine for distributing dodgy streaming sticks.

    In the eyes of our criminal justice system, heading a far-right terrorist organisation whose members have been stockpiling weapons and likely planning attacks is slightly worse than selling devices so people can illegally stream the football.

  4. 1 year more for being a Nazi than the guy that sold dodgy Premier League football game boxes got. Seems reasonable.

  5. I just want to point out that Davies has gotten less prison time for buying weapons and setting up a terrorist group than protesters will get if they cause “serious annoyance” (Whatever that means) under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill (10 years).
