‘Neo-Nazi’ teen accused of ‘making a pipe bomb’ and ‘plotting a ­terror attack’ hailed Jo Cox’s killer as a ‘f****** legend’

AN alleged neo-Nazi accused of making a pipe bomb and plotting a ­terror attack hailed the killer of Labour MP Jo Cox as a “f****** legend”, a court heard yesterday.

The 17-year-old, of Bradford, went online the day after last June’s ­murder to praise Hitler-loving Thomas Mair.

He added: “We need more people like him to butcher the race traitors."

The accused, who cannot be named, denies a charge of preparing a terrorist act and an alternative count of making a pipe bomb.

Prosecutor Barnaby Jameson said: "The text of the post is significant as not only was [the teen] celebrating the death of Jo Cox - he was rallying others to, in his words, '…butcher the race traitors'.

"His political views were so extreme that he celebrated in the murder of a democratically elected MP - presumably because she had voted to remain in the EU.

"In [the defendant's] view this was race treachery."
