Fascist group discovered discussing lone-wolf attacks

The New British Union, a self-described fascist organisation, has been discovered discussing the employment of lone-wolf attacks in a secret meeting. 

Parts of the meeting, which was held in the Lake District, were captured on video by a reporter for The Mail on Sunday, who described some attendees as wearing Nazi SS uniforms and noted that some members present were as young as sixteen.

During the meeting, the group’s Deputy Leader, Clive Jones, can be seen on film appearing to talk to other attendees, saying: “Are you familiar with lone wolf? I just wondered, if anything, even with just this number here, if we went that way. We could cause, we could change a few things.”

It is understood that Mr Jones said that individuals could be given a copy of The Anarchist Cookbook, the infamous 1971 publication that details how to make explosives, to use in their lone-wolf action.

The New British Union uses the same symbol as its predecessor, the British Union of Fascists, a 1930s group led by Oswald Mosley that infamously clashed with Jews and anti-fascist campaigners at Cable Street in East London.

The group is known for its efforts to recruit children and previously tweeted an advert for “8-16 year olds”. 

Campaign Against Antisemitism closely monitors the far-right, which remains a dangerous threat to the Jewish community and other minority groups.
