( Sent to all news outlets, GMP, Greater Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham and all Manchester MPs) GREATER MANCHESTER STAND UP TO RACISM NAZI AT CENTRE OF ANTI REFUGEE PROTEST OUTSIDE ALTRINCHAM HOTEL SAYS PROSCRIBED TERROR ORGANISATION NATIONAL ACTION "IS COMING BACK" Ryan Ferguson, the Nazi at the centre of Sunday's far right protest against refugees at the Cresta Court Hotel in Altrincham, threatened that banned terror organisation National Action would be "coming back" on August 15th. Using a megaphone to shout at supporters of people housed at the hotel, he yelled: "National Action are re-forming. National Action is coming back. On the 15th August, National Action are back. National Action are proud." Then, pointing at those supporting refugees living at the Cresta Court, he added: "We are going to show you what we are made of." Ferguson has attended other anti refugee protests as an open fascist. On May 20 in Birmingham, he joined the Britain First march wearing a Heil Hitler tee-shirt. In Leeds on July 27, during protests at a hotel in Seacroft, observers reported that "He made a Nazi salute and declared that 'National Action will be back' before attempting to march into the anti-racist protest group, only to be stopped by police." National Action has been a proscribed organisation in the United Kingdom under the Terrorism Act 2000 since 16th December 2016. Police officers and the media covering the Altrincham protest clearly heard what Ferguson said in an aggressive address to anti racist supporters standing in solidarity with people living at the hotel. But he was not arrested for showing support for a banned terror organisation. Far from being a ‘local’ from Altrincham, Ferguson is one of a number of far right agitators attempting to organise racist attacks on refugee hotels throughout the UK. When the UK government proscribed National Action they described the terror group: "National Action is a racist neo-Nazi group that was established in 2013. It has a number of branches across the UK, which conduct provocative street demonstrations and stunts aimed at intimidating local communities. Its activities and propaganda materials are particularly aimed at recruiting young people. The group is virulently racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic. Its ideology promotes the idea that Britain will inevitably see a violent ‘race war’, which the group claims it will be an active part of. The group rejects democracy, is hostile to the British state and seeks to divide society by implicitly endorsing violence against ethnic minorities and perceived ‘race traitors’."
