Yes hopefully the Police and MOD will update us more later.

Being part of one of these banned groups is.

National Action was banned in December 2016 by the Home Secretary, meaning it is a criminal offence to be a member.

It's been banned relatively recently and it isn't as if there is an official register of these people. Presumably their names came up during an investigation.

Whatever it is we can do without it. The last thing we need is more terrorist nutters running around causing trouble.

Re: British soldiers arrested by terror police
Just like the radical muslim groups, the name will change but the membership and ideology won't.
The police have them now, but if proven, these allegations will mean hard time when the military get hold of them.

Should be clear that reading further it may be that membership of this group might be what they're under investigation for. It's not clear given the phrasing.

Lucky for some, eh?
National Action distributed stickers that stated that parts of Liverpool were a "Nazi-controlled zone", and the group also held a number of marches and demonstrations on Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday proclaiming that "Hitler was right", and after Jo Cox's murder, posted "only 649 MPs to go!" on social media. They have also called for called for graphic and violent attacks on police officers in the UK.
It was one of these charmers who tried to behead an Asian in Tesco in 2015.

Re: British soldiers arrested by terror police
So basically they have been arrested purely for being (or suspected of being) members of the group, not for anything they have done or planned.

Seems that way. Although that isn't new or outrageous, belonging to group that advocate terrorism/violence has been illegal for a while.

Being a member of - or inviting support for - a proscribed organisation is a criminal offence carrying a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
There are 71 such groups listed by the Home Office on its register.

I wasnt even aware we had such a law, while I'm sure it has good intentions, I'm not sure I agree with this.
