This ideology is the fastest growing threat and is intrinsically linked to the online risk, however, other more traditional tactics continue to be used such as leafleting and stickering within communities, and this is certainly seen in the SW. This is one of the SW's risk priorities.
Since 2016, the UK has proscribed five ERWT groups, all of whom hold a White Supremacist ideology. The primary threat from these groups is their ability to radicalise and inspire Self-Initiated Terrorists (S-ITs).
Proscribed groups:
National Action, Sonnenkrieg Division, System Resistance Network, Feuerkrieg Division, Atomwaffen Division/National Socialist Order, The Base.
The threats from the ERW are:
•The possibility of attacks on those perceived to be migrants or refugees, religious groups or buildings; potentially using weapons or other means e.g. arson or homemade explosives.
•Online activity that could potentially radicalise, spread misinformation and conspiracy theories, and provide the opportunity for distributing material and organising activities or may encourage Self –Initiated attacks.
ERW is broadly separated into three primary ideologies:
- Cultural Nationalism - Anti Islam, anti Immigration, and anti Government is usually visible and identifiable with street protests,
- White Nationalism - is focused on the importance of the white race with views that white people are being replaced by non whites in Europe. Not terrorist organisations
- White Supremacism - align to the belief that the white race is not only important but is inherently superior to other non white races
To suport further reading and lesosn planning I've attached some ERW resources.
