A far-right agitator who was filmed by 5Pillars being arrested at an anti-mosque protest near the Lake District in July has been exposed as a “Heil Hitler” T-shirt wearing Islamophobe with a history of racist activism. Ryan Ferguson, 25, has been identified as the activist who was arrested at the protest against a new mosque being built in Dalton-In-Furness. 5Pillars witnessed Ferguson attempt to confront anti-racism demonstrators at a counter-demo across the road when police stopped him. In the footage Ferguson can be heard protesting against being called “Nazi scum” by the counter protestors prior to his arrest. However, it turns out Ferguson has a long, vile history of far-right activism including being pictured at a Britain First rally in May wearing a T-shirt with widely recognised neo-Nazi branding. Ferguson, from Barrberry Crescent, Liverpool, attended the far-right rally in Birmingham on Saturday, May 17, and was seen at the head of the march in the company of co-leaders Paul Golding and Ashlea Simon. But in a picture provided to the ECHO by campaign group HOPE not hate, Ferguson is seen wearing a T-shirt with a Polish slogan and the numbers “88.”
