A dangerous far-right group hellbent on spreading race hate across Britain appears to be targeting Warrington after stickers promoting National Action were posted close to the town centre.
The pro-Hitler organisation rides a tide of support for ultra right-wing parties in Europe and has been deliberately targeting young and vulnerable students as potential new recruits over the past year.
National Action posters have also been found at a dozen UK universities.
Their posters and leaflets read: “Cleanse Britain of parasites. The white man is on the march – white power.”
The group also heaps praise on mass killer Anders Breivik, who murdered 87 people in Norway in 2011, and Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh, who killed 168 people in 1995.
New recruits are carefully vetted before being accepted into the party, which has an estimated membership of about 60 nationwide.
Members try and spread their hate-filled views on far-right web forums, by putting up neo-Nazi posters and leafleting in student unions.
They recently held a demonstration at Nelson Mandela’s statue in London, using a banner with the slogan “Anti-Racist is a Codeword for Anti-White” over a bridge in Birmingham and also held a placard-waving “flash mob” in Coventry.
Photographs and videos are then posted online. The group has also told student newspaper The National Student, that this year would “be a reign of terror”.
On hearing about the stickers Warrington South MP David Mowat said: “These people speak for nobody and represent nobody. We don’t need anti semitic racists in Warrington.”
A Warrington council spokesperson said: “Fly posting of any racist, offensive or obscene material will not be tolerated and we will be working with our partners in the police about such incidents.
“If individuals are caught fly posting we can issue a fixed penalty notice of £50 and people convicted of flyposting can be fined up to £2,500.
“The council will also remove any offensive material on public property as soon as possible and people can report fly posting through the Contact Centre on 443322 and online at www.warrington.gov.uk
