National Action: Alleged neo-Nazi 'bought machete to murder Labour MP Rosie Cooper'

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...our-mp-bought-machete-far-right-a8023056.html

An alleged neo-Nazi bought a machete with the intention of murdering Labour MP Rosie Cooper, a court has heard.

The 22-year-old man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was among six alleged members of National Action appearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

He has been a preparing for acts of terrorism by allegedly buying a “Gladius Machete” – a type of weapon used by Celtic tribes and Roman legions – for the purpose of murdering Ms Cooper in July.

The defendant, from Lancashire, is also accused of making threats to kill a female police officer.

National Action’s alleged regional leader, 31-year-old Christopher Lythgoe, is accused of “the encouragement of murder” by approving the alleged plot at a meeting.

He and the 22-year-old are have also been charged with membership of a terrorist organisation, alongside Garron Helm, 24, of Seaforth, Matthew Hankinson, 23, of Newton-Le-Willows, Andrew Clarke, 33, of Prescot and Michael Trubini, 25, of Warrington.

The men appeared in the dock on Friday, speaking to confirm their names, dates of birth and ages.

Seen much about this in the news? You would think plotting to murder a member of Parliament would be considered headline news, but no, apparently not, even though the group behind it is National Action, a banned group which was connected to the murder of Jo Cox.

It does show the power of the media and how it can be used to manipulate opinion.

I think the stat I have seen is that 'Muslim terrorists' get 477% more coverage than 'white terrorism'

No wonder most of the sheeple who just believe everything they see on TV think they are under attack from Islam

Hitler's propaganda ideas have been well understood by fascists in power in the West

The rise of fascism in Britain appals me. Russia and Breitbart are involved.

A rise in nationalism, Brexit, and then newspaper attack on judges and academia.

It’s like Weimar Germany. After Brexit when the crash comes, it will get worse.

A crash is coming brexit or no brexit purely due to the staggering amount of debt in the system & decline in real incomes in UK for last 7 years. Brexit is just a scapegoat, you will see a European banking crisis before a UK one.

What is the involvement of Russia?

I can't say I have noticed anything sinister as far as Russia or Breitbart, the headlines have been pretty much like this for as far back as I can remember, it used to be the red tops mostly, now the broadsheets aren't that different. Sensationalism I can understand, it sells newspapers, but I am concerned that had an Islamic group been behind a plot like this, it would have been screaming headlines, but because this is a white racist group, it's been ignored in comparison. This sort of insidious drip drip selective reporting is going to have serious consequences down the line. More worrying is the reasons why it would be done like this in the first place.
