>A network of white supremacists, neo-Nazis and antisemites has celebrated Boris Johnson’s false claim that Keir Starmer failed to prosecute Jimmy Savile.
Johnson was roundly criticised, including by some Tory MPs, after he made the accusation during an ill-tempered exchange in the Commons last Monday.
His accusation led to renewed calls for him to resign, prompted chancellor Rishi Sunak to publicly rebuke the prime minister and saw one of his closest aides, Munira Mirza, quit over her boss’s “scurrilous accusation” and subsequent failure to apologise.
An Observer investigation can now reveal how Johnson’s comments have since been seized upon by notorious far-right groups including the Pie and Mash Squad, a network of football hooligans linked to the anti-Muslim English Defence League and violent Casuals United, as well as a white nationalist organisation called the Traditional Britain Group.<
There's much more text and photos at the link. Far-right individuals and groups are
named, making this a very instructive article. Note that "EDL founder Tommy
Robinson" mentioned as a far-right supporter actually refers to English Defense
League founder Stephen Christopher Yaxley-Lennon who prefers to use the name
Tommy Robinson for some reason. We all know who he is, anyway.
