White supremacist's sick plot to kill a Lancashire MP and the reformed neo-Nazi who snared him
At a ubiquitous pub in Warrington, July 2017, Jack Renshaw revealed his sickening plan to murder West Lancs MP Rosie Cooper and Detective Constable Victoria Henderson, who was investigating him for child sex offences.
Robbie Mullen tipped off campaign group Hope Not Hate, with journalist Matthew Collins taking on the story. Collins, a reformed neo-Nazi, had been working to prevent the radicalisation of young white men online and had been following the marches and Tweets of National Action as part of his investigation.
The dramatic storyline is bound to be compelling viewing, with the first episode airing on ITV1 on Monday October 3. But for viewers in Lancashire it also shines a light on a terror plot which shocked the region. "You praised the murder of Jo Cox in tweets and posts in June 2017 and in some bizarre way you saw this as a commendable act and set out to replicate that behaviour. Your perverted view of history and current politics has caused you to believe it right to demonise groups simply because they are different from you.”
Before National Action was outlawed, in December 2016, Renshaw said he was sympathetic to Adolf Hitler, whose only fault was to show mercy to Jews. His involvement in right wing groups began in Blackpool, where aged 15 he joined the BNP.
