But what exactly happened to Jack Renshaw once his wicked plot had been exposed? And what happened to those associated with far-right group National Action?<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s all you need to know.<\/p>\n
What happened to Jack Renshaw?<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn 2018, Renshaw was tried for alleged membership of National Action. He denied being a member of the group after it was banned. During the trial, he admitted to both threatening to kill Henderson and preparing to kill Cooper, and was convicted of engaging in conduct in preparation of a terrorist act and making a threat to kill. He was given a life sentence<\/a> in 2019 with 20 years minimum to be served.<\/p>\nRenshaw faced a retrial for alleged membership of National Action. The jury did not reach a majority verdict and the charges were not pursued any further.<\/p>\n
He\u2019d previously been given one three-year term and one 16-month term for stirring up racial hatred and inciting a child to engage in sexual activity respectively.<\/p>\n
Judge Mrs Justice McGowan called Renshaw<\/a>\u00a0a \u201cdangerous offender\u201d who posed a high risk to the British public, who\u2019d tried to \u201cdamage an entire system of democracy\u201d. Referring to his targets, she added: \u201cThe dignity and bravery they [Henderson and Cooper] have demonstrated show the true public spirit and public interest that motivated their work. You have not defeated them.\u201d<\/p>\n ![\"""\"]( "\\"\"\"\\"\/")

He had allegedly advised him to aim for the then-Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, and also allegedly suggested that a synagogue<\/a> be targeted too. He also set up a gym in which he and his followers reportedly prepared themselves for a \u201crace war\u201d.<\/p>\nIn 2018, an Old Bailey jury found Lythgoe not guilty of encouraging Renshaw. He was found guilty of National Action membership.<\/p>\n
The far-right extremist group had been proscribed<\/a>\u00a0as a terrorist organisation two years earlier following its\u00a0celebratory reaction<\/a> to the murder of Labour MP Jo Cox. He was subsequently sentenced to eight years in prison.<\/p>\nAt the sentencing, Mr Justice Jay described National Action\u2019s vision as \u201ctruly evil and dystopian,\u201d before telling Lythgoe, \u201cYou are a fully-fledged neo-Nazi complete with deep-seated racism and anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/p>\n
What happened to the others on trial?<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatthew Hankinson<\/a> received a six-year jail sentence after being found guilty of being a National Action member.<\/p>\nGarron Helm, who attended a pub meeting where Renshaw revealed his murderous intentions, was acquitted of the same charge. He\u2019d previously been jailed<\/a> after pleading guilty to sending an offensive, indecent or obscene message, for directing an antisemitic Tweet to Labour MP Luciana Berger.<\/p>\nAlong with Renshaw, Andrew Clarke and Michal Trubini\u2019s charges of National Action membership also went to a 2019 retrial. A jury spent two days deliberating over all three parties, but were discharged by Mrs Justice McGowan after failing to reach a majority verdict. Prosecutor\u00a0Duncan Atkinson QC<\/a> later told the court that a decision had been made not to stage a second retrial.<\/p>\n ![\"""\"]( "\\"\"\"\\"\/")

He claimed that the Nazi flag discovered at his home was simply a \u201cspur of the moment\u201d purchase while learning more about politics.<\/p>\nClarke, meanwhile, argued that National Action\u2019s sense of humour was lost on the general public<\/a>. Referring to a town centre speech in which he said, \u201cSt Helens, your enemy is the Jew,\u201d the defendant claimed that he\u2019d simply been making a joke.<\/p>\nWhat happened to National Action\u2019s founders?<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhile not involved specifically in Renshaw\u2019s case, National Action\u2019s co-founders also find themselves in jail. Following its banning under terror legislation in 2016, Ben Raymond morphed the far-right group into another one called NS131 \u2013 National Socialist Anti-Capitalist Action. He received an eight-year prison sentence<\/a> in 2021 after a jury found him guilty of membership of a proscribed terrorist organisation, and was also convicted of possessing a terrorism manifesto and a guide to homemade detonators.<\/p>\nAnother co-founder, Alex Davies<\/a>, was also given an eight-year sentence this year, becoming the 19th<\/sup> person to be convicted of National Action membership. Mark Dennis QC surmised that Davies remained \u201can adherent of Adolf Hitler and all that he stood for\u201d.<\/p>\nDoes the far-right still pose a threat?<\/strong><\/h3>\nMatthew Collins, the former far-right activist who now serves as head of intelligence for anti-racism organisation Hope Not Hate, believes that the threats posed by the likes of National Action are stronger than ever. The man who, alongside whistleblower Robbie Mullen, helped to foil Renshaw\u2019s murder plot, told The Guardian<\/a>, \u201cWe have a government that sings their song.
