Counter-terror police disclosed on November 22 that charges against 53-year-old Robert Talland included disseminating terrorist publications – a breach of Section 2 of the Terrorism Act. A further charge concerns an alleged offence to stir up racial hatred – a Section 23 offence under the Public Order Act 1986.

Robert Talland appeared at the Old Bailey alongside his 31-year-old daughter Rosie and his 33-year-old son Stephen. The children of Robert Talland face charges related to stirring up racial hatred after they allegedly performed in the neo-Nazi rock band Embers Of An Empire at a social club in Leeds last October.

The allegations draw attention to the activities of the record label Rampage Productions, linked to the infamous Blood and Honour neo-Nazi music scene.

The family members stand accused of conspiracy to distribute a recording of a track by the band Embers of an Empire between January 1, 2019, and October 10, 2020.

All three were granted conditional at the hearing, where they spoke only to confirm their names, with a provisional trial date set for October 23, 2023, at Woolwich Crown Court.

The Evening Standard revealed that they are banned from engaging with the yearly commemorative events for Ian Stuart Donaldson, of Britain’s most notorious neo-Nazi hate rock band, Skrewdriver – who died in a car crash in 1993. Donaldson also helped establish the Blood and Honour music scene in the 1980s.

A second bail condition imposed upon the Talland family prevents them from engaging, distributing or organising Blood and Honour or Rampage Productions-related events or music.

A member of the public spotted the racist graffiti on the morning of July 28 at the site of the former cinema, the Mirth, Marvel & Maud on Hoe Street, which is undergoing building work and restructuring to re-open into a theatre.

The graffiti begins with a mathematical equation, asking what 7×4 is, as three Nazi swastikas appear below and present the number 28 – a numerical reference to the infamous violent neo-Nazi group Blood (2) and Honour (8).

Blood and Honour is a proscribed terrorist group in Canada, along with Combat 18. And emerged from the fascist music scene in England in 1987 and is banned in several European countries and Russia.

Blood and Honour chapters have committed racist violence in the UK, Europe, and the United States.

Calls to proscribe Blood and Honour in the UK are not new either.

The Celtic cross appeared above it, though it is unclear when the graffiti appeared.

Several months ago, we reported how upstanders had removed stickers promoting the Polish far-right on the same Walthamstow street.

Tell MAMA can confirm that the Metropolitan Police are now aware and have launched an investigation after our Casework Team made a police report on their behalf, once we had their informed consent.

We will provide further updates where possible.

UPDATE: The council has since removed the graffiti – we thank them for a speedy resolution, as the police continue to look into it. Tell MAMA has also informed Waltham Forest Council members and the local MP Stella Creasey.

Social media posts confirmed that individuals had driven from Nottingham and Bradford to attend.

Like in Dover, the protest brought together individuals linked to or inspired by National Action, Combat 18, the Scottish and English Defence Leagues, North West Infidels, Misanthropic Division, Central Scotland Infidels and Blood and Honour. This protest, however, passed without violence or arrests.

Chief Inspector Bob Paris told the National: “I would like to thank the wider public for their patience and hope that the minimal disruption during the events did not spoil their day.”

A Unite Against Fascism counter-protest brought together minority communities and speakers from the SNP, Labour and Green Party.

Chants of “Refugees welcome, Deport the Nazis,” were said to have drowned out the vocal far-right minority.

Police Scotland had escorted the far-right groups to the City Chambers as they did not have permission to gather at Waverley Station.

One protester held a sign that read ‘Stop the Invasion Say No to Islam Say No to Mosques Say No to Halal Say no to Europe’. Others threw Nazi salutes – as one person wore a jumper promoting the infamous neo-Nazi punk band Skrewdriver.

Paul Whiteside, the EDL supporter who allegedly vandalised a proposed mosque in Lincoln, also attended the protest.

In contrast, the Stand Up to Racism event drew between 2,000 to 5,000 people in Glasgow on March 19. It coincided with other marches in London and Cardiff to mark UN anti-racism day.
