A PROMINENT BRITISH Neo-Nazi and former organiser of the National Front has given up his far-right views as well as revealing he is gay and has Jewish heritage.

Kevin Wilshaw was a high-profile figure of the National Front in the 1980s and was speaking at extreme right events as recently as this year.

Speaking to UK Channel 4 News, he explained he had given up his violent past – which included smashing a chair over someone’s head, vandalising a mosque and being arrested for online hate race offences.

He added that he did not have many friends at school and was looking for “comradeship”.
