I think it’s optimistic to think that weirdos need a particular organisation to get into weird stuff
Mr Davies admitted posing for the photo, alongside Mark Jones, a convicted member of National Action, but said that he was "not proud" of it.
He described the gesture as a "completely spontaneous action" which he later felt "ashamed of."
The jury previously heard that members of National Action "celebrated" the murder of Jo Cox MP when she was killed in her constituency in June 2016.
Mr Davies told the court that he had not agreed or been involved with Twitter posts put out by National Action accounts that "celebrated" her murder.
The defendant added: "I felt bad that she died, I feel sorry for her kids, I feel sorry for her husband."
When asked whether he shared the views of Jo Cox's killer, Thomas Mair, Mr Davies described him as "a crazy man" who committed "a nonsensical act."
To commemorate the occasion, here's my favourite Alex Davies story, about the time he turned up to do police station support for the arrestees at a Swansea White Pride march, realised there were antifascists in the police station listening to his phone call so he started talking about how much he respected them, then legged it.awww poor little boy

On doing a nazi salute at concentration camp and celebrating murder of Jo Cox
Ai!To commemorate the occasion, here's my favourite Alex Davies story, about the time he turned up to do police station support for the arrestees at a Swansea White Pride march, realised there were antifascists in the police station listening to his phone call so he started talking about how much he respected them, then legged it.
Alex Davies was described as "the founder, the galvaniser, the recruiter", and would welcome fellow neo-Nazis to Swansea, take them for days out in Mumbles and for ice cream.
He jokingly told jurors: "The life of a terrorist."
Prosecutors and counter terror police believe Alex Davies is unique in British history for founding two far-right terrorist organisations.
First National Action, and then the "continuity group" as it was described in court, NS131. They are organisations that now sit alongside the likes of so-called Islamic State, the IRA and Al-Qaeda.
It was put to Alex Davies in court: "You are a neo-Nazi, yes?"
He replied: "Sure."
A case of Magritte British patriot pipes downWould not envy the job of the defence lawyer who presumably had to argue that the founder of National Action was not a member of National Action?
Fairly visible in this picture from that article:Nation Action had links with Azov both through their international front organisation Misanthropic Division and with Mark Jones , partner of Miss Hitler, visiting Azovs HQ in 2017.
turned out nice againAlex Davies jailed
Alex Davies: Founder of neo-Nazi group National Action jailed for eight-and-a-half years
Alex Davies was described by the prosecution as the "extremist's extremist" who had a unique place as an individual who founded two different far-right groups both banned under terror laws. He was found guilty in May.news.sky.com

Will be watching the rest soon. The BNP claim is especially stupid as even the Guardian years ago printed a retraction. It does illustrate that Collins lies as he breathes, like Lowles/Gable.Saw all but the last episode yesterday and spotted the Collins BNP claim
The court heard how counter-terrorism intelligence linked Edward with posts on the social media platform GAB, which invited support for a banned organisation.
They began investigations under the auspices of Operation Lightbox.
His online activity included posting a video created by the banned far-right group National Action and praising the 3D printing of firearms.
Anti-terrorism officers then carried out a search of Edward’s home in September 2022 where they found the large quantity of weapons which amounted to “an armoury”
A rear bedroom was also being used to grow cannabis.

Id assumed quite a lot of the ten years had something to do with this, though I don't know the details of how much this 'plantation' consisted of.Edward also had an indoor cannabis plantation that he was growing to sell.
Yes I’ve not seen a breakdown of the sentence - quite a lot going on there!Id assumed quite a lot of the ten years had something to do with this, though I don't know the details of how much this 'plantation' consisted of.
In fixing the custodial term, I have considered all of the circumstances of the case.
In relation to charges 8, 9 and 10 (the terrorism offences) you will be subject to an extended sentence of 15 years with a 10 year custodial term and a 5 year extension period during which you will be subject to licence conditions fixed by the Scottish Ministers. If you break any condition of licence you can be recalled to prison. The custodial term will be backdated to 9 September 2022.
In relation to the remaining charges, I impose the following periods of imprisonment which will be served concurrently, that is at the same time, as the extended sentence on charges 8, 9 and 10.
In relation to charge 7 (an offence under the Terrorism Act 2000 but with a lesser maximum period of imprisonment) I impose a period of imprisonment of 8 years.
In relation to charges 1 and 2 in cumulo (that is taken together), I impose a period of imprisonment of 5 years.
In relation to charge 3, I impose a period of imprisonment of 2 years.
In relation to charges 5 and 6 in cumulo, I impose a period of imprisonment of 7 years.
In relation to charges 12 and 13 in cumulo, I impose a period of imprisonment of 2 years 6 months.
In relation to charge 14, I impose a period of imprisonment of 2 years.
Under part 4 of the Counter Terrorism Act 2008 you will accordingly be subject to notification requirements for 30 years.
Thanks for the link, it doesn't say specifically what each of the numbered charges are (I've had this problem before when doing through court documents which is very unhelpful).
