Calls grow to ban Patriotic Alternative

CALLS to ban neonazi group Patriotic Alternative grew today when BBC Wales broadcast the findings of an undercover investigation.

A BBC reporter spent a year posing as a new recruit to the far-right group, during which its members were recorded using racial slurs and saying that migrants should be shot.

Former counter-extremism commissioner Dame Sara Khan told the BBC she believes the Westminster government should change the law to make groups such as Patriotic Alternative illegal.

Under current legislation, the group cannot be banned as it does not advocate terrorism but Dame Sara argued that Patriotic Alternative was “creating a climate conducive to terrorism.”
