Eleven people have been arrested across England and Wales as part of an investigation into the banned extreme right wing group National Action, Greater Manchester Police said.

Specialist counter-terror officers from across the UK swooped to detain 11 men aged between 22 and 35 in a coordinated action, the force said.

Five of the suspects were held on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act, while one was accused of possessing terrorist materials.

One of those arrested over their alleged participation in a terror plot was produced from prison.

Six came from the North West of the UK, two were from South Wales, two were from West Yorkshire and one came from Wiltshire.

Eleven properties are being searched across a number of force areas in England and Wales.

National Action was banned in the UK in December 2016 as an extremist group.

The arrests follow activity earlier this month by West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit.

Neil Basu, the Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, said the action had resulted from two separate investigations.
Counter-terrorism policing is committed to tackling all forms of extremism that threatens public safety and security.

"Investigations relating to alleged extreme right wing activity are pursued with the same level or resource and vigour as other ideologies, in order to bring suspected offenders before the courts."
– NEIL BASU

The full list of those held is:

• A 24-year-old man from Seaforth was held on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act, funding terrorism, and membership of a proscribed organisation.
• A 23-year-old man from Newton-le-Willows was held on suspicion of preparation of a terrorist act, funding terrorism, and membership of a proscribed organisation.

I have to agree, the hypocrisy is very glaring

Ditto! Tell me about it, those two serving army chaps were the first to actually get convicted of terrorism offences since the 80's.

Well, people could discuss domestic terrorists, white nationalism, neo-Nazis, xenophobia, right wing terrorism, white supremacy, the latest NFL scores, or even how their tummy feels right now.

Homegrown terrorism perhaps? It's a rather big deal at the moment or is it only of interest if it's BLM or IS?

[AeneasBK]

Are they being charged? That would be where it gets interesting.

The fact that crime commited by nationals isn't as important as crimes done by migrants is a topic that has been done to death in the various migration threads. C'est la vie.

The thread wasn't made for that, it was made to highlight action against a terrorist organization which I feel strongly against

They become freedom fighters so young.

They were arrested.... Should be end of discussion. "Good job police" is all that really needs to be said. Feel like you're trying to bait stupid people with something else. Good luck I guess.

I don't consider BLM a terrorist group, BTW.

Sure, this is your first time here?

How is he an anti-white racist?

As for your last comment, you are correct. Nobody is actually pushing genocide by mass immigration. That's simply paranoia by the racists and xenophobes. Immigration is an example of freedom, and freedom is awesome.

Arrested but not prosecuted and it isn't over - It's important to note that action is been taken against these dangerous ideals and that terrorism is terrorism regardless. Again I don't see your point since we regularly have threads about terrorism yet for some reason this isn't important or newsworthy
