The Community Security Trust has backed moves to have an extremist group responsible for a series of attacks and threats on prominent British Jews proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

The government is said to be considering whether the neo-Nazi National Action group should be classified as a terrorist organisation after concerns about the resurgence of the far-right in the UK.

Amber Rudd, the Home Secretary, warned the Jewish community about the growing threat from far-right extremists at a conference on Wednesday.

CST has now referred two speeches made by Jack Renshaw, a senior member of National Action, to police. The charity says he should be prosecuted for incitement to racial hatred.
