The Daily Record, above, desperately tying to drag Scotland down into the hole the rest of the UK is already in.

How many far-right extremists are there in Scotland and how does that compare with England & Wales?

Membership details are not available but referrals to Prevent are the best proxy. Prevent is the UK government’s early-intervention programme designed to stop people from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. It identifies individuals who may be vulnerable to radicalisation.¹

In England and Wales, from Home Office data, year to March 2025), 1,798 out of 8,778 referrals to Prevent were for “Extreme Right-Wing” (ERW) concerns.²

All things being equal if the above mentality is as common in Scotland, you’d expect there to be around 180. There were 62 (38% of 162 referrals).³

So, extreme Right-Wing elements are almost three times more common in England & Wales than in Scotland.
