Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, attacked the man in April last year at the Pear Tree Inn near Worcester in what he claimed was a “protest” against small boat crossings. Parslow, who has Hitler’s signature tattooed on his arm, said he stabbed the asylum seeker in the chest and hand because he wanted to hurt “one of the Channel migrants”.

Sentencing Parslow on Friday, Mr Justice Dove said he posed a “high risk of serious harm” to the public. Parslow was given a life sentence with a minimum term of 22 years and eight months. Mr Justice Dove said Parslow had carried out a “preplanned terrorist attack”, which was “intended to intimidate” asylum seekers and those giving them support. The judge told Parslow that the stabbing was “motivated by your extreme racist right-wing ideology”, and that he had taken inspiration from terrorist atrocities in New Zealand and Norway.

Parslow tried to send a post to X before his arrest, claiming that he “just did my duty to England” by trying to “exterminate” his victim, Leicester Crown Court heard. He had tried to tag prominent politicians, including Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braveman, in the social media post but it failed to send because he had copied in too many people.
