Racial Volunteer Force
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Racial Volunteer Force is a splinter group of Combat 18 formed in the United Kingdom in 2002 by Mark Atkinson and John Hill due to their frustration with the leadership of Will Browning. Although maintaining a distinct identity the group retains links to C18.[1]
The group was targeted by the authorities due to fears that they were stockpiling weapons and as a result a number of arrests were made in 2003 [2]. In the resulting case five defendants, including Atkinson and Hill, pleaded guilty to conspiracy whilst a sixth, November 9th Society leader Kevin Quinn pleaded guilty to possession of the banned booklet The Longest Hatred.[3] The group has also been investigated for a series of threats made to journalists.[4]
The RVF has also maintained links with Ulster loyalism and it has been claimed that supporters of the group are involved in sheltering Johnny Adair in Bolton.[5]
The RVF itself claims to be an international organisation led by a European Council and states that it aims for unity between all National Socialists and white nationalists (including C18) in an alliance against the supposed Zionist Occupation Government.[6]
