The number of far-right prisoners convicted for terror offences in Great Britain climbed by a third last year to their highest recorded level, and accounts for more than one in six of all terrorists held in prison, according to official figures.

For such crimes as:

Those who have been jailed in recent years include Thomas Mair, who murdered Jo Cox four years ago this week, and a neo-Nazi who plotted to kill another Labour MP, Rosie Cooper, with a machete a year later.

Islamic terror and white nationalist terror being kind of packaged together.


Here in the states, you'd get called an Islamaphobe for comparing the two.

Twitter is isis' biggest recruitment tool. Also this is a political ploy to show the world how not islamophobic they are so theyre doing shit like arresting white people for racist memes then arresting muslims for grooming gangs or acid attacks then the papers call them the same thing. The uk doesnt have free speech so the gov. Is using that to virtue signal.
