Neo-Nazi Hitler supporters set up Scottish food bank for 'whites only' to recruit homeless
BRITISH neo-Nazis have set up a food bank for "whites only" to recruit homeless people in Scotland, it has been claimed.
National Action, which wants to "ethnically cleanse Britain", set up the pop-up centre in the middle of Glasgow which they described as "whites helping whites".
The far-right group, who worship Hitler, said they were being helped by Polish fascists from the violent National Rebirth of Poland Group.
In their latest newsletter, they wrote: "A small glimmer of hope appeared on the streets of Glasgow when National Rebirth of Poland and National Action Scotland took to the streets together to feed and clothe the white homeless population."
The group has been accused of attempting to recruit the poor and vulnerable with food - something the Nazis did before coming to power in Germany.
National Action members are renowned for their racist, far-right rhetoric, displaying a banner in Newcastle saying "Hitler was Right".
They have also filmed themselves doing Nazi salutes on a visit in May to the former Buchenwald concentration camp where 50,000 people were murdered during the Second World War.
And its members are infamous for celebrating the horrendous crimes of Dr Josef Mengele who carried out horrendous experiments on children at Auschwitz.

Anti-racism campaigners accused the group of having no interest in helping the poor and of using the food bank at the end of August to spread their hate message.
Nicola Hay, campaign manager at Show Racism the Red Card Scotland, told the Daily Record: "It is deeply worrying that they are preying on the most vulnerable in our society to spread hate, and further entrench the divisive climate we find ourselves in.
“It’s not only the marginalised in society that National Action are preying on.
“If you look at their website, they are also attempting to groom young people to adopt their philosophy of prejudice, discrimination and exclusion toward ‘different others’.
“Scotland has been built on migration and diverse communities who have come together to create a better Scotland for all.
“There is no place for this type of hate.”
Dr John Pollard, an expert on neo-fascism at Cambridge University, warned there has been a rise in far-right groups using similar tactics, including Italian group, Casa Pound.
He told the Daily Record: "Casa Pound and other neo-fascist organisations in Italy have put a lot of effort into ‘social outreach’, including helping the homeless, the unemployed and pensioners.
“Their HQ in the centre of Rome is effectively a squat. It houses a number of homeless families. They have followed this strategy in other towns and cities.
“Of course, this is nothing new. The original Nazis invested heavily in social outreach during the great depression.
“This was institutionalised into the Winterhilfe – 'winter help' – after they came to power.”
Last year National Action member Zack Davies, 26, was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of 14 years, for trying to behead an Asian man in a Tesco store with a machete.
He said the attack was in revenge for the murder of soldier Lee Rigby by Islamists and he targeted his victim because he "looked vaguely foreign".
