A‘racist, homophobic, neo-Nazi terrorist’ who ‘glorifies and idolises’ Adolf Hitler set up a club to train likeminded right-wing extremists, a jury has heard. Ashley Podsiad-Sharp, 42, was the founder of the White Stag Athletics Club and created a channel for the group on the messaging app Telegram, in which he called himself ‘Sarge’. Denise Breen-Lawton, prosecuting, told Sheffield Crown Court on Thursday: ‘The defendant is a racist, homophobic, neo-Nazi terrorist. That is the prosecution case. ‘He glorifies and idolises Adolf Hitler and everything that the Nazi movement stood for and is still standing for.’ Ms Breen-Lawton added: ‘The defendant hates Jews, hates people of colour, hates homosexuals and he believes in the supremacy of the white man.’ She said that Podsiad-Sharp trained ‘like a soldier’ and kept himself fit for the ‘coming conflict’, as set out in a publication in his possession called the White Resistance Manual. The prosecutor detailed how this publication contains information on how to kill people, use various weapons, build bombs and evade detection by the police. And she explained to the court how the manual opens with a white supremacist mantra, calling for armed resistance to the ‘threat to the white race’ from Jews and non-white people. She said the document was found on a laptop in Podsiad-Sharp’s dining room and is ‘clearly a terrorist manual’.
