Fiend’s sick salute as he is led to cells
A FAR-right paedophile who planned to kill a Labour MP gave a Nazi salute as he was jailed for at least 20 years yesterday.
Jack Renshaw, 23, bought a replica Roman gladius sword to kill Rosie Cooper, who represents West Lancashire, and a female police officer probing him for child sex offences.
The neo-Nazi – who made posts praising the 2016 murder of Labour MP Jo Cox by far-right thug Thomas Mair – also Googled “How long to die after jugular cut”.
Renshaw revealed his plot as part of a “white jihad” during a 2017 pub meeting with Christopher Lythgoe, chief of banned group National Action.
Whistleblower Robbie Mullen told campaign group Hope Not
Hate. Renshaw, of Skelmersdale, Lancs, was sentenced to life with a minimum 20 years at the Old Bailey after he admitted preparing to kill his local MP and threatening to kill police officer Victoria Henderson.
He denied being in National Action and a jury failed to reach a verdict.
Renshaw raised his arm in a Nazi salute and a supporter in the public gallery shouted “We’re with you, Jack” as he was led to the cells.
Judge Mrs Justice McGowan said: “Your perverted view of history and current politics has caused you to believe it right to demonise groups because they are different from you.”
After the sentencing, Mrs Cooper said: “My deepest wish is this case is the last occasion when any public servant, any politician, has their life threatened for
doing their job.”
