I actually lived in student accommodations with the supposed leader Ben Raymond. He had horrific b.o. and had a shrine to himself in his room.

Most countries, unfortunately, do not have free speech. That includes the UK.
Banning speech pushes extremists into underground echo chambers, where they never encounter critique, and where their martyr-complexes are reinforced by a very real political persecution.

That's circular reasoning though. "They broke the law so they should be punished." Well, does the law make sense? Is it fair? Is it just? Is it principled? I would say no, no, no and no.
If you make laws that are broad enough, people will break them by their mere existence.

So who decides what's a hategroup? And why should hate be illegal? How do you ban an emotion?
Logical fallacy. I'm arguing for free speech and freedom of assembly. I would argue for communists, socialists, islamists and anyone else under the same logic.

How are direct parallels to other ideologies not comparable? Isn't that the point of a comparison? If you exchange the word nazi with another group that has radical and violent ideas, how is it any different?

"A hate group is a social group that advocates and practices hatred, hostility, or violence towards members of a race, ethnicity, nation, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation or any other designated sector of society. "
This encompasses SO many different groups.
if they were helping fund isis, yes. considering ISIS is actively spreading terrorism across the world at the moment, and not just an ideology that isn't currently at war with the world
a hate group that only actual crime currently is their political ideology.
Because someone was bringing up the news of said thing happening. If you wanna be lawful neutral, fine. But as for me, I'm more lawful good, especially when it comes to hate groups who have committed genocide and caused a world war.

A hate group with a very very long history of following up said ideology with action. So forgive me for not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
If the group doesn't exist as a name, it doesn't stop the discussion. That's the base concept of a group, people that share an interest. The group could be disgusting as fuck but such people exist and it shouldn't be a crime to hold dumb or hateful ideas.

Sure, hence the "IMO". I don't agree with crimes that relate to banning ideas, interests or beliefs.
