The prosecutor said SRN’s “clarion call was for the expulsion of all minorities and a white revolution”.
The group’s online campaign "comprised virulently racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic propaganda" which sought to stir up war against those it classed "as race traitors”

“The group describes homosexuality as a disease,” the prosecutor said.
Jurors heard that that SRN was “hostile to democracy and sought to recruit and radicalise others".
SRN was banned last year as a terrorist organisation

The 15 charges relate to a period in 2017/2018 when the defendant allegedly controlled the SRN website and Twitter account.
Prior to SRN, Dymock was allegedly active in the group Vanguard Brittania and - later - in the Sonnenkrieg Division

Prosecutors say his control of the SRN website – which he denies controlling – is shown by financial transactions, emails, log-in details found at his home, and an IP address
The court heard the site had changed to a logo for the Sonnenkrieg Division around the time in 2018 he was expelled from SRN, an event it justified online for his “ties to Satanists” and “shifting the focus of SRN from a political to a religious angle/esoteric death cult”
In an email allegedly written by Dymock he had described his expulsion by saying: “I’ve been couped in a powergrab by my 2nd in command… He is accusing me of being a Satanist”
The court heard that, among other messages, he had sent a text saying he had a “great dream” where he went around executing gay men (the actual word used was a homophobic slur) with a 44 magnum revolver
He'd also sent messages using a racial slur beginning with n along with the neo-Nazi slogan 1488, jurors heard
The court heard that in October 2017, Dymock – under the alias Blitz – used the Iron March forum to describe SRN by stating “we are focused on building a group of loyal men, true to the cause of National Socialism and establishing the Fascist state through revolution”
The prosecutor said that SRN “targeted a younger demographic, and required potential members to have a grasp of National Socialism and the associated ideologies before joining, and they filtered prospective members with online interviews prior to meeting”
