Radio Aryan, since renamed Radio Albion, was described as “highly racist, antisemitic and white supremacist in nature” by prosecutors.
A PODCAST HOST on trial accused of stirring up racial hatred has claimed the content of his show was not racist.
Allchurch claimed his use of racial slurs was not intended to cause offence, and said he believed he was using “accurate terminology”. Describing himself to the jury as an ethno-nationalist, Allchurch said: “Essentially I’m a British nationalist but I am also a European, that’s my wider family. I have sympathies with my wider family in countries like America, Australia who share the same ancestry with me.”
In the recordings, Allchurch is often joined by guests including the now jailed National Action co-founder Alex Davies and American neo-Nazi Daniel Kenneth Jeffries, who went by the nickname Grandpa Lampshade. Allchurch, who on the podcast went by the alias Sven Longshanks – a reference to King Edward I, who was also known as Edward Longshanks and was responsible for expelling Jews from England in 1290 – said he did not think his “stage name” was antisemitic.Allchurch said he took a different name to avoid becoming the target of what he called “the opposition” who he explained were members of the far-left or anti-fascist groups, often referred to as Antifa.
