   London, United Kingdom – A ‘tyrannical’ new extremism definition unveiled   
   by the UK government could be disastrous for pro-White organizing across   
   the country. Penned in the wake of a global surge of anti-Israeli rhetoric   
   since October 7th, the new law would seek to block certain political groups   
   from funding on the basis of perceived “violence, hatred or intolerance.”   
      
   Ministers announced the new extremism definition on Thursday, which came   
   into immediate effect. It now spells “extremism” as “the promotion or   
   advancement of an ideology based on violence, hatred or intolerance, that   
   aims to:   
      
   > 1. Negate or destroy the fundamental rights and freedoms of others; or   
   >   
   > 2. Undermine, overturn or replace the UK’s system of liberal   
   > parliamentary democracy and democratic rights; or   
   >   
   > 3. Intentionally create a permissive environment for others to achieve   
   > the results in (1) or (2).”   
      
   While it is unclear which groups would be specifically targeted for an   
   extremism classification, the government promised a forthcoming list.   
   During a parliamentary hearing, however, MP Michael Gove specifically named   
   the pro-White civil rights organization Patriotic Alternative as an example   
   of a group deemed worthy of government repression.   
      
   “I am sure we would agree that organizations such as the British National   
   Socialist Movement, and Patriotic Alternative, who promote neo nazi   
   ideology, argue for forced repatriation, a white ethnostate, and the   
   targeting of minority groups for intimidation,” said Gove during the   
   hearing. “…Are precisely the types of groups about which we should be   
   concerned and whose activities we will assess against the new definition.”   
      
   “The activities of the extreme right-wing are a growing worry. The   
   targeting of both Muslim and Jewish communities and individuals by these   
   groups is a profound concern requiring concerted action,” he continued.   
      
   Under the previous definition, which was created in 2011, extremism was   
   considered a “vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values,   
   including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect   
   and tolerance of different faiths and belief.”   
      
   The new definition has since been described as more narrow and concise,   
   allowing those in power to focus their efforts on specific groups more   
   easily. Alarmingly, the new definition also sees the formation of a new   
   governmental body, “the Counter-Extremism Centre of Excellence,” designed   
   to “gather intelligence” and “identify” so-called extremist groups and   
   individuals.   
      
   The UK Government asserts that groups subjected to the new extremism   
   definition would not be criminalized in the way that terror-designated   
   groups already are. Instead, officially classified extremist groups will be   
   barred from government funding and meeting officials. Groups will be able   
   to appeal the classification through a “potentially costly” judicial   
   review.   
      
   The latest move by the UK government to undermine pro-White organizing and   
   civil rights efforts has already been met with harsh rebuke. Mark Collett,   
   head of Patriotic Alternative, called the new definition the actions of   
   “petty tyrants” who are merely “losing their grip on power.”   
      
   “Patriotic Alternative are mentioned in Parliament in relation to the new   
   ‘extremism’ laws,” said Collett on his official Telegram page. “The   
   state   
   is now moving to brand anyone who advocates for anything other than   
   ‘liberal democracy’ as an ‘extremist’. These are actions of petty   
   tyrants   
   that are losing their grip on power.”   
      
   In an open letter to Gove, PA demanded to be removed from the extremism   
   list, and refuted the claim that it was seeking to establish a so-called   
   “white ethnostate.” Additionally, they accused Gove of using his   
   parliamentary privilege to echo misleading claims about PA, calling the   
   move “communism by the back door,” and highlighted Gove’s ardent support   
   for the state of Israel, a double standard considering its own extreme   
   views on race and nationality.   
      
   Deputy chief of Patriotic Alternative, Laura Towler, pointed out the sheer   
   hypocrisy behind the new definition, which would see her and other PA   
   activists unfairly targeted by the state.   
      
   “If (Michael Gove’s) new measures are implemented, it would see the named   
   groups (including PA) barred from engaging with ministers and government   
   officials and individuals who are part of the groups will be banned from   
   receiving honours or public appointments,” said Towler on Telegram. “Now do   
   you people believe us when we say we’re unfairly targeted by the government   
   and Electoral Commission?”   
      
   “To them, we’re extremists. To us and many other Britons, they’re   
   extremists by their own definition as they refuse to allow groups to take   
   part in the democratic process and send people to prison for criticising   
   the government’s actions and results,” she said in another.   
      
   The UK Government’s latest act of neoliberal repression against pro-White   
   nationalists comes amid several high-profile arrests targeting organizers   
   with heavy-handed “extremism-related” crimes. Just this month, Patriotic   
   Alternative’s Sam Melia—husband of Laura Towler—was sentenced to two   
   years   
   in prison, effective immediately, for stickers containing messages critical   
   of mass immigration into the British homeland.   
      
   Despite his stickers being classified as truthful and legal by a Leeds   
   court, he was ultimately convicted over the state’s perceived belief that   
   he intended to “stir up racial hatred” with his political views.   
      
   Patriotic Alternative, as an organization, had also come under attack by   
   some of the UK’s top diversity czars, over a Christmas toy drive for White   
   children. Citing Britain’s Equality Act of 2010, the government claimed   
   that PA’s charitable efforts were “discriminatory,” and threatened legal   
   action if they continued to help White families. The move seemingly ignored   
   dozens of charities in the UK that exclusively benefit Black, Asian,   
   Minority, and Ethnic (BAME) individuals at the expense of White ones.   
      
   "British people exist as a distinct group of people. We are the English,   
   the Scottish, the Welsh, etc. We should be the overwhelming majority of the   
   population of our homeland: Great Britain," said Laura Towler on Telegram.   
      
   "I will never apologise for wanting that, and Patriotic Alternative will   
   never compromise on this stance. It’s something that the majority of
