Neo-Nazi broadcaster James Allchurch joins Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain party

Neo-Nazi broadcaster James Allchurch, jailed in 2023 for distributing material intended to stir up racial hatred, has joined Rupert Lowe’s Restore Britain party. His support has drawn attention because he has promoted the party to white supremacist listeners and claimed its political stance implicitly reflects anti-Semitic ideas.

Allchurch, 54, was sentenced to two years after being convicted on 10 of 15 charges. He previously hosted Radio Aryan, which reportedly had about 4,000 daily listeners, and has since returned as a presenter on its successor, Radio Albion, under the name Sven Longshanks. He has been a Restore Britain member since April and used podcasts to urge his audience to vote for the party; his broadcasts have included racist and anti-Semitic claims.
