Fascist group banned from campus

Members of National Action are now legally barred from Warwick University campus. The action was taken on October 15 last month.

The National Action party are a neo-fascist group who are notorious for rallying their radical right-wing views across at higher education institutions in the UK and the West Midlands. The group has boasted of being “like the BNP, but more radical” with their slogan: “for a free white Britain”.

Leader of the association, Benjamin Raymond, has exclaimed his radical views: “There are non-whites and Jews in my country who all need to be exterminated. As a teenager, Mein Kampf changed my life. I am not ashamed to say I love Hitler.”

The small group of around 20 people in the National Action association can be typically seen marching around in balaclavas and all-black uniform in order to intimidate people and mask their identities.

Action was taken after a video was posted on their official YouTube channel on the October 5. The footage shows the members touring around Warwick University campus and mocking human rights and multi-cultural posters.

One of the leaders and founders of National Action attended Warwick University last year before withdrawing from the university after he was identified.

The former student Alex Davies received an order stating that “the defendant shall not enter or remain upon land compromising the campus and buildings at the University of Warwick”.

National Action responded to the legal action by saying that they have now “trolled” the University through the estimated cost of over £6,700 in taking up legal action against them.

Aside from the group and former student Alex Davies, another leader of the movement Ashley Bell has also been specifically named in the legal ban. The effect of the order states that in any case that they permit a breach of the order to stay off campus, that “they may be imprisoned, fined or have their assets seized”. ​

It is understood that the National Action group was founded by Alex Davies, Ashley Bell, Benjamin Raymond and Mark James in 2013.
