The extremist group, which is run by 21-year-old Jack Renshaw, who openly brands Jews as \u201csocial vermin\u201d<\/em> that need to be \u201ceradicated,\u201d<\/em> declared at a recent rally: \u201cHitler showed mercy to people who did not deserve mercy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Renshaw, who boasts that he is a \u201cgood shot\u201d<\/em> with a gun, has warned that \u201cthere will be violence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThese invaders, these parasites, they\u2019re not just going to roll over and let us remove them from our country. They will put up a fight and we need the killer instinct,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Since June\u2019s murder of Labour MP Jo Cox at the hands of Thomas Mair, a far-right terrorist, the government has become so concerned about the rise of National Action that an official ban will be passed on the group this week.<\/p>\n

It will be the first British group to become a \u201cproscribed organisation,\u201d<\/em> which means that just being a member is punishable by up to ten years in jail \u2013 the same as for members of terrorist religious sects such as Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS\/ISIL) and Al-Qaeda.<\/p>\n

National Action runs five Lake District excursions a year for its members, according to the Sun. There attendees are drilled in mixed martial arts and knife fighting, and gather around campfires to sing the Nazi anthem Horst-Wessel-Lied.<\/p>\n

The group also plans regular rallies. A recent march in Leeds saw around 100 neo-Nazis performing Sieg Heil salutes before throwing paving stones, bottles, and fireworks at onlookers and police. One officer was left with a bad concussion.<\/p>\n

Riot police eventually shut down the protest with the help of dog squads and made 48 arrests. Similar protests have taken place this year in Manchester, Newcastle, and York.<\/p>\n

In May, members of National Action were pictured giving Nazi salutes and holding up a group flag in the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany, where 56,000 people were murdered during World War II.<\/p>\n

According to a National Action \u201cmole\u201d<\/em> who spoke to the newspaper, the group approaches fellow youngsters on Twitter and Facebook to advertise their demonstrations and meet-ups.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach meeting or protest will see around 30 youngsters getting together. Few can drive and some are too young to get into pubs, so they\u2019re dependent on public transport and meeting in public places,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n
