A disgusting far-right hate-preacher, in the UK. There should be no place for this kind of hateful, ill-informed, misleading, divisive, & dangerously irresponsible rhetoric in twenty-first century Britain.
Did some British people really learn NOTHING from WWII & the #Holocaust?

“Wesley Russell” is a Patriotic Alternative -affiliated streamer & rising star of the dangerous far-right neofascist movement. HOPE not hate revealed that he is Alec Cave, from Milton Keynes.

Cave hosted the little-viewed “Renew Britannia” show, since rebranded as the “Nefarious
Podcast”.
He has also hosted a run of episodes of the Patriotic Talk “aftershow”, where the main hosts hand over to less prominent, and often younger, activists in the British far right.

Cave runs a growing Telegram channel & has been touted by Patriotic Alternative's Mark Collett as “the brightest young star” of PA, & was afforded a speech at the national PA conference in 2021, indicating that he is being lined up for a more prominent role in the organisation.
On 30 October 2021, Mark Collett took to the
stage at a Hotel in the Lake District to address the national conference of Patriotic Alternative , the largest fascist group active in the UK - many claim they are behind the wave of protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers.

Mark Collett, the founder and leader of Patriotic Alternative, told the assembled crowd of over 200 far-right activists: “Today, I want to talk about victory”.

At the 2021 Patriotic Alternative 'conference' Collett described the event as “the biggest nationalist conference of its kind this century”, representing “a huge turnaround in fortunes that we, as a movement, have had since the demise of the British National Party in 2010.”
Collett is the BNP’s former head of publicity &
a lifelong Nazi. Sadly, there is some truth in the claim that, since its launch in September 2019, Patriotic Alternative has provided leadership for the UK’s beleaguered fascist scene not witnessed since the collapse of the BNP.

Like the BNP, PA aims to lay the groundwork for a white ethnostate, but differs markedly in both organisation & strategy, posing a different
kind of threat.
PA adopts a multi-pronged approach, using various forms of traditional campaigning and
online activism.

It's aim is to spread explicitly racist & antisemitic messages and to build far-right communities. By downplaying its underlying Nazi doctrine and presenting a superficial “family friendly” image, it has drawn recruits from across the splintered British far right.
Patriotic Alternative has had some success in uniting the remnants of the BNP with former Conservative & UKIP hardliners, fascist hooligans, antiMuslim Tommy Robinson supporters, politically homeless “identitarians”, alt-right social media personalities & #Holocaust deniers.
The resurgence of the far-right is very real, & a cursory glance at any reputable news outlet reveals a terrifying rise in far-right activism & domestic terrorism.
Here's a summary of just some recent far-right terrorists in England.

We now know that the UK has experienced more far-right terror attacks & plots than any state in Europe.
Around a third of all domestic terror threats now come from the far Right - often inspired by far-right #propaganda - according to the head of MI5.

Grotesque far-right rhetoric - including the use of antisemetic tropes & conspiracy theories, as well as the dangerously irresponsible "invasion" rhetoric - has been shamelessly normalised & mobilised by the current UK Government & the right-wing press.

A growing wealth of evidence - largely ignored by the billionaire-owned Tory-supporting press who were so keen to discuss #antisemitism when Corbyn was LOTO - STRONGLY suggests that many high-ranking
@Conservatives do NOT honour #Holocaust survivors.

One part of the problem is that British people simply do not know about the horrors of Nazi ideology, nor the economic & political causes of Hitler's rise.
Worse still, UK Government Ministers DO know all this, but choose to plough on regardless.
