The group, formed in 2018, shares many of its aims and ideologies with Atomwaffen Division (AWD) and its alias National Socialist Order, organizations listed by the U.K. earlier this year, the U.K. government said earlier this week, when announcing the move. The Base is the fifth extreme right-wing terrorist group proscribed in the U.K., and the third listed within the last year, according to the U.K. government. “We continue to take robust action against evil white supremacist groups, who target vulnerable people across the world to join in their hateful ideologies and their sick promotion of violence,” said U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel.
