Scampton in Lincolnshire finds itself at the heart of a battle between far-right activists and anti-racist protesters Joe Duggan reports
Mr Yerbury, who lives in Leeds 90 miles away from the base, has posted a message to his Telegram followers calling on them to “make the big one at RAF Scampton”.to the Home Office’s plans to keep migrants at Scampton, a former Red Arrows base. Councillors fear that a £300m regeneration programme could be scuppered.
A 2021 report by the Commission for Countering Extremism, which advises the Government, found the group’s “active dissemination of a racial supremacist ideology does meet our definition for hateful extremism”.claims that Mr Yerbury previously called for Polish troops to use firearms against migrants trying to enter Poland from Belarus; that he was “not afraid” of people firebombing migrant centres; and that he made comments that he wanted to see politicians suffer physical harm.
“It annoys and upsets me that people are hijacking a legitimate issue to further their own cause,” he toldHamish Falconer, Labour’s general election candidate for Lincoln, hit out at “chancers trying to whip up hatred in Lincoln and Scampton.” A 2021 report by the Commission for Countering Extremism, which advises the Government, found that the group’s “active dissemination of a racial supremacist ideology does meet our definition for hateful extremism”.
In 2021, supporters of the group were secretly filmed by C4 Dispatches racially abusing England footballer Raheem Sterling and joking about shooting sport stars taking the knee in support of Black Lives Matter , with one saying: “No kneeling for n*****s.”
