A NEONAZI gathering in Kent was shut down by anti-fascists from across the country on Saturday.

Patriotic Alternative, a new far-right party led by former members of the British National Party (BNP), had been seeking to gather prospective members in Sevenoaks for a hike.

The party’s south-east England branch claimed that the hike had gone ahead. But an image it posted to its Twitter feed showed only five people in the woods, covering their faces with a party banner.
