UK, JERSEY & GUERNSEY sanction extreme right-wing activists “Blood and Honour”

08/01/2025

The UK, Jersey, and Guernsey governments have imposed sanctions on the far-right group Blood and Honour (Unique ID: CTD0006), which is recognised for its extreme right-wing activities.

This action is part of the UK’s Domestic Counter-Terrorism sanctions regime to prevent terrorist financing.

These sanctions require freezing all assets and economic resources in the UK belonging to or controlled by Blood and Honour.

This marks the first use of the Treasury-led Domestic Counter-Terrorism sanctions regime targeting extreme right-wing terrorism.

A government statement read:

  • “The designation of Blood and Honour is a clear signal that the UK works proactively to stop terrorist financing and will take action against any who try to exploit the UK financial system for this activity.
  • “No person or entity required to comply with UK sanctions can deal with any funds or economic resources belonging to or controlled by Blood and Honour (or any entities it owns or controls).
  • “They also cannot make funds, financial services or economic resources available to or for the benefit of Blood and Honour (or any entities it owns or controls) unless they have obtained a licence from HM Treasury or an exception applies.”

BACKGROUND ON Blood and Honour

  • Blood and Honour, founded in the 1980s, emerged as a skin-head group founded by Ian Stuart Donaldson, the lead singer of the hate rock band Skrewdriver.
  • It has been involved in promoting and encouraging terrorism, recruiting individuals for terrorist activities, and making funds available for such purposes.
  • The group is also recognised as an extreme right-wing organisation in other countries, including the United States and Canada.
  • On its website, the neo-Nazi group outlines its mission is:-
    • To keep the UK “pure”
    • "To achieve all of this, we, and our European comrades, must above all have faith,”  
    • “Our enemies are strong; presently, we are relatively weak in numbers but unbeatable in spirit. We must realise that we, and our enemies, are engaged in a struggle for the survival of the European races.
    • “If we fail, we will be destroyed along with European civilization, and we must accept in our hearts that if victory is eventually ours, we must deal with our enemies most ruthlessly.
    • “If we do not destroy their cancer at the root, we will have to face up to its reincarnation at a later stage. We must have faith in this, our battle to the death."
