A politics student who ordered Neo-Nazi flags emblazoned with the logo of a far-right terror group told a court today they were his airsoft team.
Andrew Dymock, from Bath, Somerset, allegedly joined white supremacist groups Sonnenkrieg Division and System Resistance Network (SRN) between 2017 and 2018.
Both groups are inspired by the bloodthirsty ideology of the book Siege by American neo-Nazi James Mason whose writings Dymock is said to have posted online.
Dymock, 24, allegedly created and updated the neo-Nazi website The Lion Rises and posted virulent antisemitic content to SRN s Twitter account.
But Dymock claimed that all the far-right material he had amassed linked to research for his dissertation or planted there by an ex-girlfriend.
