Police in the United Kingdom say that three men have been convicted of planning to carry out an attack against mosques or synagogues in advance of an upcoming racial war.

“Stewart, Pitzettu and Ringrose have been convicted today or multiple crimes of terrorism,” said the Chief Superintendent of Detectives, James Dunkerley, head of surveillance of the northeast against terrorism.

“They were a group that defended vile racist views and advocated violence, all to support their extreme right -wing mentality.”

The convictions arrive in the middle of a debate in the United Kingdom on immigration rights, since the Labor Party of the Left adopts an increasingly hard rhetoric in migration amid the increase in public support for the extreme right. Critics said that a recent discourse by Prime Minister Keir Starmer in which he said that immigration threatened to turn the United Kingdom into an “stranger island” helps legitimize a vision perpetuated by the right end that immigration is a destructive and dangerous force.

The theories of conspiracy that Muslims and immigrants are carrying out a “great replacement” of whites in Western nations have extended more and more to the right in recent years.

This conspiracy implies an anti -Semitic angle, portraying the Jews as supporters of proimigrant policies aimed at stirring the naths from the inside.

The three men were convicted of planning an act of terrorism and multiple crimes of firearms. They were declared guilty of two positions to collect information that could be useful for some leopard a terrorist act, and ringrosis was additionally accused of manufacturing a component for a 3D FGC9 firearm.

Prosecutors said the group was prepared for an act of terrorism when they were arrested in February 2024. His judgment begged in March.

“Part of his defense in the court was that everything was fantasy or simply part of the harmless chat, however, the three steps of the real tok to plan to plan and prepare to carry out an attack against innocent citizens,” said Dunkerley.
