Right-wing extremism is UK's fastest growing threat, says top counter-terror cop

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu says "more young people are being drawn towards terrorist activity".

A surge in online extremism, at a time of COVID-related isolation, has created a "perfect storm" for radicalisation, according to the UK's top counter terrorism police officer.

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu has said growing numbers of young people in particular have been sucked in by the increase in hateful ideology online and set on a path towards violent extremism.

AC Basu revealed that 17 children, some as young as 14, were arrested on terrorism charges in the past 18 months.

Over the same time period, more than 1,500 children under the age of 15 were referred to the Prevent counter radicalisation programme.

"We are seeing more young people being drawn towards terrorist activity," he said.

"That is a relatively new and worrying trend in the UK, because just a few years ago we were not seeing anyone that young amongst our casework."
