Threat from neonazis ‘remains high,’ extremist expert warns six years after murder of Jo Cox
Members of the Neonazi group The Base

THE threat from British neonazis “remains high” six years on from the murder of Jo Cox by a far-right gunman, an expert on right-wing extremism warned today. 

Speaking on the anniversary of the Labour MP’s death, Professor Matthew Feldman said society should remain vigilant to “lone wolf” attacks despite the dismantling of the far-right National Action (NA) group. 

The neonazi organisation was proscribed as a terrorist group for glorifying the murder of Ms Cox, who died after being stabbed and shot by Tommy Mair outside her constituency office in Birstall on June 16, 2016.
