Members of the far-right extremist group, the British Movement, met at the Duke of Edinburgh in Royton, Greater Manchester, on April 19. 3 Shocking CCTV footage shows the men posing behind a flag before quickly hiding it away 3 The cake with a swastika Credit: MEN Media Footage and snaps of the group revealed a swastika cake and other Nazi-themed celebrations. Now, it has been revealed that one of the men involved put himself forward to be an MP in Bolton last year, reports the MEN. Patrick McGrath stood for the English Democrats in the Bolton West constituency but polled just 202 votes and came last in the contest. Beside his name on the ballot paper was 'English Democrats - Deport All Illegal Immigrants', said the outlet. McGrath was seen on CCTV alongside other members with sick photos posted online revealing Nazi flags and a cake decorated with a swastika. One man, who did the Nazi salute, was donning a German national team football shirt with the words Fuhrer 44. In one photograph three men - including McGrath - hold up a flag with a swastika, SS bolts and the Iron Cross. Other snaps uploaded also included a black and white photograph of Hitler. Another picture revealed five men posing behind the British Movement flag before quickly hiding it away. The English Democrats and McGrath have been approached for comment. The venue have said that staff didn't know about the party until the next day -and they reported it to the police. The Duke of Edinburgh's incoming landlady Jean Anderson, said: "They said they had a cake, but we didn't know what happened because they covered everything up. "The pub was full. There were about six to eight men and one woman. They sat in the corner and didn't cause any problems. NHS manager joins work call with Nazi armband, framed photo of Hitler & Swastika in background "They were sneaky. We didn't see anything until we saw the pictures. I just can't understand why they picked this pub." A spokesperson for Craft Union Pubs said: "A group entered the Duke of Edinburgh on Saturday under the pretext of celebrating a birthday and gathered in a back area of the venue. "The group actively concealed their clothing and their activities during the visit and as a result, their actions were not visible to staff at the time. "The operator who runs the pub was therefore unaware of what had taken place until after the event. Upon becoming aware, the operator reported the matter to the police immediately. "To be clear, we are absolutely appalled at what took place. We do not and will not tolerate this kind of behaviour, and these people aren't welcome in any of our venues. "We are focused on uniting our local communities, not dividing them. We are supporting our operator to look after their team, who are understandably incredibly distressed by the incident." A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "On Wednesday, April 23 we received a report that several individuals attended a pub on Market Street in Royton on Saturday, April 20, and were in possession of Nazi memorabilia. "Enquiries are underway to establish the full circumstances. "If you have any information, or were affected by this incident, please contact police on 101 quoting log 784 of 24/4/25."

Fury as Neo-Nazis hold birthday party for Adolf Hitler complete with swastika flags and birthday cake
Neo-Nazi extremists openly gathered at an Oldham pub to celebrate Adolf Hitler's birthday complete with flags and even a cake decorated with swastikas, it emerged today. Members of the north west branch of racist fringe group British Movement assembled at the Duke of Edinburgh last Saturday afternoon. The far right obsessives unfurled flags displaying Nazi symbols and even tucked into a black, red and white birthday cake emblazoned with a swastika. They then showed off about the shocking celebration on social media, sickeningly saying the pub had been filled with the 'warm laughter of comrades' as they marked 'the 136th Birthday of Uncle A'. After been approached about the appalling scenes, the pub has said it had no knowledge of the actions of the group of up to eight men and one woman and had now reported them to police, who are investigating. The vile group were today branded a 'highly fringe Nazi group that is repulsive even by the standards of the far right' who represent 'a tiny collection of crank Hitler fetishists'. While the men's faces were blurred out in images shared on the group's website, the Manchester Evening News obtained footage revealing the faces of those involved in the hateful celebration. One picture, showing three men with their faces pixelated holding a flag emblazoned with a swastika, SS bolts and the Iron Cross, has been digitally altered to include a black and white photograph of Hitler. Another shows five men stood posing behind the British Movement flag. The footage shows the men unfurling the flags to pose for pictures before quickly hiding them away. It also shows one man, wearing a German national team football shirt with 'Fuhrer 44' printed on the back, appearing to do the Nazi salute. A post on the group's Telegram feed reads: 'On a gorgeous sunny afternoon in Greater Manchester, a platoon of Northwest British Movement met up to celebrate the 136th Birthday of Uncle A. 'It certainly didn't take long for the dimly lit interior of the Oldham boozer to be filled with the warm laughter of comrades old and new.

'They reminisced about the good times while planning their future BM escapades, ensuring that this celebration was just one of many more to come.' The Duke of Edinburgh's incoming landlady Jean Anderson, who is taking over the pub from her partner Terry English, said she knew nothing about the group's outrageous neo-Nazi stunt. She said: 'We didn't see anything until it was posted online. 'We thought it was a birthday party. 'They said they had a cake, but we didn't know what happened because they covered everything up. 'The pub was full. There were about six to eight men and one woman. 'They sat in the corner and didn't cause any problems. 'I have never seen them before but they definitely won't be coming in here again.' Mr English added: 'They were sneaky. We didn't see anything until we saw the pictures. 'I just can't understand why they picked this pub.' The British Movement was founded in 1968. According to activist group Hope Not Hate, it 'succeeded in attracting violent, racist thugs to its ranks, and its role in fomenting violence was recognised by the Home Secretary in 1981, a year in which 26 people were murdered in racist attacks'. Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton MP Jim McMahon described the celebration as 'a disgraceful insult to the memory of the nearly 100 local men who died fighting Nazism'. He added: 'This vile display is a stark reminder that the threat of the far right is real. 'Glorifying an ideology responsible for the deaths of millions has no place in our community. 'These acts of hate and division must always be called out and rooted out.' David Lawrence, senior researcher at anti-fascism campaign group Hope not Hate, described the British Movement as a 'highly fringe Nazi group that is repulsive even by the standards of the far right'. He added: 'The group is trying to raise its profile with small propaganda actions, especially in the North West, where its numbers have grown slightly due to the defection of activists from a larger fascist organisation, Patriotic Alternative. 'The promotion of base racial hatred is always dangerous. 'However, the British Movement today is no closer to ushering in a new Reich than when it launched decades ago, and remains a tiny collection of crank Hitler fetishists and washed up hooligans.' A spokesperson for Craft Union Pubs, which runs the Duke of Edinburgh, said: 'A group entered the Duke of Edinburgh on Saturday under the pretext of celebrating a birthday and gathered in a back area of the venue.

Neo-Nazis celebrate Hitler's birthday with swastika cake at a pub
A group of neo-Nazis celebrated Adolf Hitler's birthday at a pub in Greater Manchester then boasted about it on social media. Members of British Movement – a fringe far-right extremist group – unfurled racist flags and brought along a cake adorned with a swastika to mark the dictator's 136th birthday last Saturday afternoon. Staff at the Duke of Edinburgh in Royton were unaware what the group – branded a 'tiny collection of crank Hitler fetishists and washed up hooligans' – were doing and have since reported them to the police. Outgoing landlord Terry English told Metro: 'They snuck in the pub, the cake was covered up, none of the staff saw anything.' In pictures later posted on British Movement's Telegram feed, three men with their faces pixelated hold a flag emblazoned with a swastika, SS bolts and the Iron Cross inside the pub. It was digitally altered to include a black and white photograph of Hitler – who was responsible for the deaths of millions of people including six millions Jews. Another picture showed five men posing behind the British Movement flag. The Manchester Evening News obtained footage which showed the men unfurling the flags to pose for pictures before quickly hiding them away. In it one man wears a German national team football shirt with 'Fuhrer 44' printed on the back and appears to do the Nazi salute.
