Robert Jenrick pictured with former Nazi terror chief at Epping anti-refugee protest
Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has attended a demonstration organised by a neo-Nazi party and posted a picture of himself with the founder of a terror organisation.
On Sunday evening, Jenrick attended a rally organised by members of the Homeland Party in Epping. The event was addressed by Callum Barker, a member neo-Nazi group Homeland who have a history of endorsing racism and terrorism.
Jenrick later posted pictures of himself with demonstrators, which included Eddy Butler, one of the founders of neo-Nazi terror gang Combat 18. The numerals in Combat 18 refer to the first and eighth letters of the alphabet, referencing the name of Adolf Hitler.
After the demonstration, Butler posted a picture of himself standing directly behind Jenrick with the text, “At the Bell Hotel riding shotgun for Robert Jenrick.”
