Far-Right extremists 'are plotting spectacular terrorist attack in UK', police warn
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 7, 2009

Neo-Nazis are plotting a 'spectacular' terrorist attack on Britain to fuel racial tension, Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism officers fear.

Senior officers have increased their surveillance of suspects to monitor their ability to carry out a deadly attack designed to cause a 'breakdown in community cohesion'. The chilling warning comes after last month's startling gains by the BNP in the local and European elections which many fear may 'embolden' violent Far-Right extremists. Commander Shaun Sawyer, from the Met's specialist operations wing told a meeting of British Muslims: 'I fear that they will have a spectacular ...

'They will carry out an attack that will lead to a loss of life or injury to a community somewhere. They're not choosy about which community.'

His comments came after Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson asked officers to examine what effect the recession could have on far-right violence.

And the news mirrors similar warnings of the threat from far-right sympathisers issued in America in recent months.

So they are pre-blaming the BNP for any “spectacular” attack the Muslims might carry out. Right. And me Mum’s a newt.

Scotland Yard has to use special surveillance to discover terrorist plots by Nazis but only have to watch Youtube to discover terrorist plots by ROPers.

Nazis and Neo-nazis are creatures of the left. There is no such thing as a “political persuausion circle”. It is a straight line from total freedom and liberty on the right to total state control of everything you do on the left.

Nazis were possibly only to the right of Joseph Stalin.

Read “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg for a good history of the interrelatedness of fascism, national socialism, and American style leftism.

True. But the British governmnet’s concern over a handfull of nutjobs when their entire nation is being shanghaied by Islamic rdaicals in large numbers is politically corrrect myopia to say the least.

Far right-wing Nazi’s don’t exist, it’s an oxymoron. Nazi’s were far left-wing fascists just like the democrat party in America and it’s leader, BO.

Good. He just gave the Muslims a free pass because the ‘far right’ will be blamed for any atrocity that happens. WTF?

We had this same kind of leftist paranoia when Clinton was in office. Funny how the “right wing extremists” and “militias” haven’t killed near as many people as the Muzzie terrorists in both America and GB.

I didn’t see anything in this article about evidence: just “fear.”

The most nazi-like population of which I am aware are the Muslims. “Mein Kampf” is still a best seller in arabic...

I don't know anything about this British Nationalist Party except what I have viewed on the BBC and read in this article.

I do know that the United States Bureau of Homeland Security has made similar claims against extreme right wing elements in the United States. I hope the Brits are on to something more than Janet Napolitano and her claims that the greatest threat to American security is from right wing types(like the typical member and reader of Freerepublic.com I suppose).

Neo-Nazis are plotting a 'spectacular' terrorist attack on Britain to fuel racial tension, Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism officers fear.

Why would they need to do that? The aggressive antics of the local "minorities" are stirring up more than enough racial tension as it is.
