Neo Nazi has-beens Blood and Honour sanctioned by the Treasury

[Fozzie Bear]

Extreme Right Wing group sanctioned by HM Treasury under Domestic Counter-Terrorism Regulations

The UK Government has announced a full asset freeze against Blood and Honour.

These guys were raking it in in the 1990s and supporting Combat 18. But my impression is that they are ye olde retired home for nazi boneheads in the UK now?

So the timing seems a bit peculiar. Maybe there is an international angle, or the govt needs to seem even handed with the extremism agenda.

Anyway, sucks to be a neo-nazi, eh?

Maybe it's a shot across the bows of the burgeoning right wing movement in the UK?

Empowered by social media giving the green light for hate and bigotry on their channels and corporates falling over to be in line with Trump, we're in for a fucking shitstorm.

Blood and Honour, or "Blut und Ehre" in German, was the motto of the Hitler Youth, among others. The phrase is legally banned in modern day Germany.

It's a disgrace that a group with this name exists in this country. They are well overdue to be stamped on.

I read the post title's "sanctioned" as to formally give permission for something which confused me until I was relieved to read the OP

Readying the state for Trump II?

I wouldn't have thought Blood and Honour had many assets to freeze apart from maybe a couple of boxes of unsold CDs of shitty Oi music, but good to see action taken all the same

They were supposed to have made lots of money from gigs, CDs and merchandise (including 'substances'). Some of it could still be stashed away somewhere, could be what the Government is after.
And while there might not be money being made here Nazi CDs and merchandise are still being sold in US, Europe and elsewhere.

Were any of the convicted from the Farage riots connected? Could that have prompted the move?

You have to question the algorithm that selects similar threads

Looking forward to Musk's hot take.

I remember seeing a bloke with a Blood and Honour tattoo at Glastonbury once and thinking "Wtf are you doing here?" Really weird.

Two of the Sunderland rioters told a court they were in town for a b&h gig it seems Who are the North East right wing rioters?

Yeah, I think i remember seeing the swastika tattoo fella saying that on some social media clip

 

[Sasaferrato]

Are these people being given more attention than they deserve? I appreciate that there will always be 'fellow travellers ' but core numbers must be quite small?

Probably also worth cutting off their funding now in case Elon Musk's political leanings and donations continue along their current trajectory

Yes it's a decentralised network with branches groups across Europe and the US , they have been on Canada's terrorist list since 2019. Sometimes they are branded with C18 and sometimes compete with groups that call themselves C18 mainly over 'merchandise' on the Nazi scene. They have a branch here, very small and recently involved in fisticuffs with another far-right group 1143. Two members of the Ukraine branch were killed in combat in September shortly after attending the Nation Europa conference in Lviv.
