A former contestant for the “Miss Hitler” beauty pageant and three others were sentenced to jail on June 9 for their involvement with the United Kingdom neo-Nazi terror organization National Action.
Contestant Alice Cutter, 23, was sentenced to three years in jail. Her ex-boyfriend Mark Jones, 25, received a 5 1/2-year jail sentence. Garry Jack, 25, was sentenced to 4 1/2 years and Connor Scothern will be jailed for 18 months.
According to the Jewish Chronicle, there is video footage of Cutter taking a picture with National Action members behind a sign reading, “Hitler was right,” and giving the Nazi salute. Messages unearthed during the trial revealed Cutter had joked about gassing synagogues and using a Jew’s head as a football.
Judge Paul Farrer said Jones was a key leader in National Action, as its regional organizer in London and was involved in the group’s physical training programs, according to the BBC. He also called himself “Grandaddy Terror.”
National Action was designated a terror organization in 2016 after the group celebrated a white supremacist murdering Labour Party Member of Parliament Jo Cox earlier in the year.
