A proscribed British neo-Nazi terror group — many of whose members have been arrested — draws its inspiration from Oswald Mosley's Union Movement (UM) — in which his son Max was a key activist. Sir Oswald was cited by the founders of supremacist National Action (NA) as a major influence on their beliefs, and the group even copied the UM symbol under which Max demonstrated.
In 2014, it was reported that a Hitler-loving university graduate, identified as the then leader of National Action, was also a fan of Oswald Mosley. Benjamin Raymond, then aged 25, had a Facebook picture which featured him posing in front of a Union flag and holding a signature of Mosley Snr.
Raymond, who was living in Bognor, West Sussex, was reportedly pictured performing Nazi salutes and posted on Facebook that he wanted to exterminate Jews and non-whites. He also posted quotes from Hitler and said the German leader's book Mein Kampf changed his life.
Earlier this week, Britain's most senior counter-terrorism policeman warned of the growing threat of far-Right terrorism.
Met Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley said four violent far-Right plots were blocked by police operations last year.
Mr Rowley, who retires next month, warned that a 'significant' proportion of anti-terrorist work involves tackling an 'organised' white neo-Nazi threat.
Several of the conspiracies investigated by police involved suspected neo-Nazis aligned to the banned National Action underground group. <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
