Alex Davies, 27, is accused of being a member of a proscribed organisation. A court heard National Action had planned to ‘complete’ the work of Adolf Hitler’. Davies was today described in court as National Action’s second in command. He denies being a member of a proscribed organisation. The trial continues The alleged co-founder of a neo-Nazi terror group intent on ‘all-out race war’ and which ‘celebrated’ the murder of MP Jo Cox has gone on trial accused of being a member of the organisation after it was banned. Alex Davies, 27, is accused of being a member of the proscribed organisation, National Action, by setting up an off-shoot following its ban in December 2016. Barnaby Jameson QC, prosecuting, told Winchester Crown Court that the organisation aimed to complete the work of Adolf Hitler, and co-founder Ben Raymond had coined the phrase ‘white jihad’ – meaning ‘white terror’ – for the group in a ‘throwback to Nazi Germany’. (…) Mr Jameson said the group’s symbol, was ‘a direct nod’ to the symbol of the ‘Sturmabteilung’ meaning storm detachment – the paramilitary wing of the Nazi party. Mr Jameson said the group ‘advocated the same Nazi aims and ideals – the ethnic cleansing of anyone who did not fit the Aryan Nazi mould: Jews (primarily), Muslims, people of colour, people of Asian descent, people of gay orientation and anyone remotely liberal.’ (…) Mr Jameson said that Davies’ Nazi idolisation led him, with a convicted member of National Action, to post a photograph of them carrying out a Nazi salute in the execution chamber at Buchenwald concentration camp in May 2016, causing a ‘massive storm in Germany and internationally’.
