Home Secretary Amber Rudd today banned a neo-Nazi group, branding it “racist, anti-Semitic and homo- phobic”.

The Cabinet minister took action to proscribe the National Action group. Its members have praised Thomas Mair, who murdered Labour MP Jo Cox in June.

Ms Rudd said: “As Home Secretary, I am clear that the safety and security of our families, communities and country comes first.

"National Action is a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organisation which stirs up hatred, glorifies violence and promotes a vile ideology, and I will not stand for it. It has absolutely no place in a Britain that works for everyone.”

they get to have rallies in federal buildings in our country's capital and smugly hail Trump as if it's the beginning of some of their outlandish fantasies.

Neo-nazis are in serious denial. The US is too diverse for their depraved fantasies to become real policy.
