The neo-Nazi organisation Blood and Honour, which is linked to parts of the skinhead music scene, has become the first extreme right-wing group to have financial sanctions imposed by the UK government. Treasury ministers said they had “reasonable grounds to suspect” Blood and Honour of being involved in “terrorist activities through promoting and encouraging terrorism, seeking to recruit people for that purpose and making funds available for the purposes of its terrorist activities”. The assets freeze – which was extended to all aliases or affiliate groups including Combat 18 and 28 Radio – means nobody in the UK can provide funding or financial services to those named organisations. This is a different government response from proscription – in which the Home Office issues banning orders on extremist groups. (…) Over the last decade, six extreme right wing groups have been banned – or proscribed – by the Home Office as terrorist organisations, the first being National Action in December 2016. The list also includes Atomwaffen Division, Feuerkrieg Division, Sonnenkrieg Division, The Base and The Terrorgram collective.
