Neo-Nazi who tried to win a ‘Miss Hitler pageant’ jailed
A WOMAN who entered a Miss Hitler beauty pageant was jailed yesterday for being a member of the banned terrorist group National Action.
Alice Cutter, 23, was convicted of membership in March alongside three other neo-Nazi ‘diehards’ – including her former fiance Mark Jones, 25.
Cutter entered an NA Miss Hitler beauty pageant using the name Buchenwald Princess – a reference to the Second World War death camp.
She also made jokes about gassing synagogues and using a Jew’s head as a football. And in her entry form for the pageant, she said she would kill Brexiteer Nigel Farage if given the chance because he was not radical enough.
The extreme Right-wing group was banned in December 2016 after a series of incidents, such as when members praised the murder of MP Jo Cox.
Jurors were told that the day after Mrs Cox’s murder in June 2016, Cutter said: ‘Rot in hell, bitch.’
At Birmingham Crown Court yesterday, sentencing judge Paul Farrer QC jailed
Far-Right fanatic: Alice Cutter Cutter for three years. Her fiance, nicknamed Grand Daddy Terror, organised training camps for the group.
Judge Farrer told him he had played ‘a significant role in the continuation of the organisation’ and he was jailed for five and a half years.
The pair lived together in Sowerby Bridge, near Halifax in West Yorkshire, where they plotted to recruit schoolgirls to the group, prosecutors said.
When police raided their flat, they found knives as well as pictures of the couple posing in swastika jumpers.
They were sentenced alongside fellow NA members Connor Scothern, 19, who was detained for 18 months and Garry Jack, 24, who was handed a four-and-a-half year sentence. Jack attended meetings of NA’s Midlands sub-group while Scothern was ‘considered leadership material’.
Speaking ahead of sentencing, the director of public prosecutions Max Hill QC described NA members as ‘diehards’ who ‘hark back to the days of not just antiSemitism, but the Holocaust, the Third Reich in Germany’.
