Neo-Nazi arrests: National Action suspects are in the Army

Four serving members of the Army have been arrested under anti-terror laws on suspicion of being members of banned neo-Nazi group National Action.

Has the Army escaped the image of it being 'full of racists'? and will this potentially hurt recruitment?

Why has there been an increase in far right terrorism in the past 5 years or so? anders brevik killing over 70 people, neo Nazis in America running people over and neo Nazis in the uk killing mps (jo cox) among other attacks?

Isn't this obvious? Response to world events.

It isn't islamic extremism then.....

After all the biggest attacks were 9/11 and 7/7 and they are more than 5 years ago....

Brevik is more than 5 years ago also......

I wouldn't think you'd get as many people trying to counter one off events as what seems like monthly 'part and parcel of living in a city' (Sadiq Khan).

Reason is the Economy.....Always has been.....

America struggled with the great depression and WW2 and it led to the Communist Witch hunts...

Germany struggled after WW1 you got Hitler.......

UK is feeling the brunt of cuts from Austerity............You get the rise of the right and Brexit....

Immigration is only ever a problem in a downturn.

“Part and parcel of living in a great global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job. We must never accept terrorists being successful, we must never accept that terrorists can destroy our life or destroy the way we lead our lives.” Sadiq Khan

"We must never accept terrorists being successful"..........One only has to look at places like Cyprus and the Irish Republic to see that is bollox....

Khan wants to concentrate on lobbying hard to make sure the Grenfell people get a fair hearing......Terrible feeling a whitewash is  around the corner.....
