Cavan Medlock had a Nazi flag and a knife when he targeted the immigration law firm, a court finds.
A Nazi sympathiser has been found by a court to have prepared a terrorism attack on an immigration law firm after choosing them as a target after reading a Daily Mail article.
The finding at Kingston Crown Court on Tuesday was not a criminal conviction - but a conclusion by a jury of factually what happened. A senior judge will decide on Thursday how best to manage Medlock's detention for public protection because he is too mentally unwell to be in a prison.That incident happened on 7 September 2020 when the then 27-year-old Medlock walked into the firm, which has a specialist immigration law team who handle some of the most complex cases in the country.
When one of them identified herself as Jewish, Medlock expressed support for Hitler and the Holocaust. "When politics fails and the people have no alternative, I think violence is the only natural progression of that thinking to get change," he told officers, warning that there was a "white genocide" under way."How many times have the Conservatives promised to bring the immigration to 100,000 a year, and failed?"Timothy Cray KC, prosecuting, told Kingston Crown Court: "He was admitting carrying out acts of preparation for terrorism.
Medlock's phone history confirmed he had read the article which referred to "UK lawyers who coach asylum seekers" to avoid deportation. Mr Johnson had made separate comments deriding human rights lawyers in his October 2020 party conference speech, but did not refer to Duncan Lewis or immigration cases.
