The sessions are osted by Patriotic Alternative, run by Mark Collet – a Holocaust doubter who tried to lead the British National Party but was kicked out for being too racist. A sinister new far-right group is grooming recruits with Nazi camping trips in the British countryside. Photographs from its weekend jaunts look like a get-together of unassuming paintballers. But the sessions run by an off-shoot of the failed British National Party have a chilling aim – racist team-bonding. They are hosted by Patriotic Alternative, run by Mark Collet – a Holocaust doubter who tried to lead the BNP but was kicked out for being too racist. The ex-Leeds University student was exposed in a Channel 4 documentary. He was recorded saying he admired Adolf Hitler and called AIDS a “friendly disease because blacks, drug users and gays have it”. (…) Hope not Hate, which campaigns against racism and fascism, said Collett’s online campaigning was grooming extremists. HNH researcher Simon Murdoch said: “Collett is a longstanding antisemite who has spoken sympathetically of Nazi Germany, described the Holocaust as the ‘alleged extermination of six million Jews’, and has regularly collaborated with David Duke, a former leader in the Ku Klux Klan.” A report by HNH describes Patriotic Alternative as “a racist far-right organisation with antisemitism at its very core”. It says the group aims to combat what it says is the “replacement and displacement” of white Britons by people who “have no right to these lands”. The report says the extremists warn of “unscrupulous lenders or predatory providers of financial services” and says Britain “should never be used as a pawn for foreign powers”.
