MINISTERS moved to ban US-based neonazi organisation the Base today, branding it an extreme right-wing terrorist group.

Anti-racist campaigners welcomed the decision but complained that the government had not also taken steps to outlaw “violent groups that are actually active in this country.”

The Base, formed in 2018, has sought to recruit militants to carry out terror attacks with the aim of sparking a “race war” and establishing a white-ethnic state.
