Britain faces new fascist terror threat
Fascist bonehead march through London

FASCIST terror plots are a "surging threat" despite the collapse of longstanding far-right groups across Britain, a new report by Hope Not Hate warned yesterday.

The anti-racist group’s State of Hate report suggests a younger generation of extremists are successfully radicalising people online, pointing to the case of Finsbury Park terrorist Darren Osborne, who drove his van into worshippers outside a mosque last summer.

The report noted the British National Party, Britain First and English Defence League (EDL) were “mere shadows of their former selves,” while convictions had hit militant groups like the North West Infidels “very hard.”
