Far-right activists banned from entering Britain

Maybe they wish to catch up with the Labour Party.

A controversial US preacher has become the first person to be banned from Ireland under a 20-year-old power.

Steven Anderson, a pastor from Arizona, runs the Faithful Word Baptist church and openly expresses anti-gay and anti-Semitic views.

His website claimed that he was due to preach in Dublin on 26 May.

However, an online petition calling for Mr Anderson to be banned from Ireland was created in response, and gained 14,000 signatures.

Mr Anderson has previously called for the death of former US President Barack Obama and praised the gunman who killed 49 people in an attack on a gay night club in Florida in 2016.

Steven Anderson is one of America's most controversial preachers.

He was born and raised in Sacramento, California, and started the Faithful Word Baptist Church in December 2005 from his Arizona living room.

According to the church's website, he met his wife Zsuzsanna "while soul-winning" as an 18-year-old on the streets of Munich in Germany.

The couple have been married for more than 17 years and have 10 children.

The church's website says Mr Anderson has memorised "well over 140 chapters of the Bible".

The website describes the church as an "old-fashioned, independent, fundamental, King James Bible only, soul-winning Baptist church".

Mr Anderson claims to have his materials translated into more than 115 languages.

Irish Minister for Justice Charlie Flanagan signed an exclusion order for Mr Anderson with immediate effect on 10 May under the Immigration Act 1999.

It is the first time an exclusion order has been granted since the creation of the act 20 years ago.

Mr Anderson has been banned from a number of countries, including the UK.

Mr Flanagan said he had signed the order "under my executive powers in the interests of public policy".

These fascists really don't understand how repulsive everyone else thinks they are.

Tommy Robinson has failed in his bid to end contempt of court proceedings against him.

High Court judges, sitting at the Old Bailey, ruled that fresh action should go ahead.

It is alleged the far-right activist committed contempt of court by filming people in a criminal trial and broadcasting footage on social media.

Judges heard that Robinson’s alleged behaviour outside Leeds Crown Court in May last year was of “great concern” to the attorney general.

The 36-year-old, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, claimed the action against him was “politically motivated” in an address to supporters before Tuesday’s hearing.

In written submissions to the court, government lawyer Andrew Caldecott QC said that Robinson’s solicitors had “advanced various reasons why contempt proceedings should not be pursued”.

They included the “exceptionally arduous” conditions of imprisonment he had already endured, a “medical matter”, delay, and the “cost to the public purse”.

The English Defence League founder was jailed for 13 months in May last year.

But a contempt finding made against him was quashed by the Court of Appeal in August and he was freed from prison after serving two months of his sentence.

The case was then referred back to the attorney general, who announced in March that it was in the public interest to bring fresh proceedings.

]No right wing hate there.

A neo-Nazi who planned to murder Labour MP Rosie Cooper in a terrorist attack has been jailed for life.

Jack Renshaw, 23, from Skelmersdale, Lancashire, must serve at least 20 years in prison.

A judge at the Old Bailey said Renshaw, who earlier admitted preparing an act of terror, wanted to "replicate" the murder of Jo Cox.

Renshaw made a Nazi salute towards supporters as he was led to the cells from the dock.

He pleaded guilty on the first day of his trial to buying a machete to kill the West Lancashire MP and making threats to kill police officer Det Con Victoria Henderson.

A jury twice failed to reach a verdict on charges relating to his membership of banned neo-Nazi group National Action.

Sentencing him for the terror plot, Judge Justice McGowan said Renshaw's "perverted view of history and current politics" led him to "an attempt to damage our entire system of democracy".

She said: "You praised the murder of Jo Cox in tweets and posts in June 2017. In some bizarre way you saw this as a commendable act and set out to replicate that behaviour."

The judge added Renshaw had made "detailed arrangements" and studied Ms Cooper's itinerary.

Giving evidence during his first National Action trial last summer, he said he wanted to murder the MP "to send the state a message".

He got as far as buying a 19in (48cm) Gladius knife and told members of National Action about his plan during a meeting in a Warrington pub in July 2017.

The plot was foiled by whistleblower and former National Action member, Robbie Mullen, who was secretly passing information to anti-racism charity Hope not Hate, which informed police.

Police arrested Renshaw and found the machete hidden in an airing cupboard at his uncle's house.

In a victim impact statement, Ms Cooper said it was "like something out of a horror movie".

Friends and family had encouraged her to stand down from Parliament but she refused because "that would allow tyranny to prevail".

After the sentencing, Ms Cooper said "justice has been served".

Renshaw was also jailed for 16 months in June 2018 for four counts of grooming adolescent boys.

Det Con Henderson, who was investigating the child sex offences, said she "had sleepless nights" until he was arrested.

"I am not prepared to let Jack Renshaw ruin my everyday life," she said.

The judge praised the two women and told Renshaw: "You have not defeated them."

She said he had acted in a polite manner towards Det Con Henderson while planning to kill her in an act of revenge.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it presented evidence that persuaded Renshaw to plead guilty, including online research on cutting the jugular artery and how long it would take someone to die from the wound.

Jenny Hopkins, CPS head of counter terror, said: "Jack Renshaw was prepared to act on his white supremacist world view and plotted to kill a Member of Parliament - a plan reminiscent of the abhorrent murder of Jo Cox MP."

Renshaw was also jailed for three years in 2018 for stirring up racial hatred in two anti-Semitic speeches in 2016.

The case was then referred back to the attorney general, who announced in March that it was in the public interest to bring fresh proceedings.

Plea for calm after Blackburn 'axe attack'

The incident is just the latest outburst of violence to hit Bastwell in 2018 and 2019, amid fears opposing families have clashed in public once again.

The latest targets of censorship in the UK are the anti Jihad and human rights activist Tommy Robinson, one of his associates Danny Tommo and a whole host of UKIP supporters and those of a similar mind were permanently suspended from Facebook and Instagram. I’ve also heard that the Israeli commentator Brian of London has also been banned from these platforms as well. The author Peter McLoughlin has also had his book, ‘Mohammed’s Koran’ taken down. This book which is a line by line examination of the Koran, was removed by the Amazon book sale site. This is an amazing and worrying act of censorship by Amazon bearing in mind that this site seems to have little problem in selling copies of Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. Britain is currently a land where there is a lot of digital book burning going on and it scares the hell out of me and should scare everyone.

At the end of the day they're a bunch of gutless cowards.
