His tactics come as Tesla boss Elon Musk provoked anger by claiming that a British civil war is “inevitable”.

A list of 39 potential targets, including hotels for asylum seekers such as the one raided by protesters in Rotherham on Sunday, was released yesterday morning.

Other “attacks” were organized against law firms that handle asylum seeker cases.

We found hate propagated in a dozen extreme chats.

Group leaders even shared guides on how to avoid arrest, with tips like: “Bring toothpaste – it can lessen the effects of tear gas.”

Another told would-be protesters: “Stay tactical, stay agile, brothers.”

In a chat, its 12,000 members discussed plans to attack mosques with firebombs.

One activist responded: “No face, no case. Cover the paint.

“Active Club” members shared photos of themselves, with blurred faces, training for mass disorder in fitness sessions.

In another chat, with 36 thousand followers, a member classified Adolf Hitler as “the only politician since Roman times who really cares about his people”.

Our reporters also found another channel, with 6,000 subscribers, that branded itself using Nazi-style SS fonts.

Many messages included racial slurs and lies about innocent Muslims.

Former Defense Minister Alec Shelbrooke praised our investigation and criticized: “The far right has a history of trying to hide where it is, so it can incite violence without feedback on itself. We have to draw attention to what it really is and not look for excuses.

“We all recognize the threat from China through TikTok and that a lot of misinformation and hate has been spread online through Russian bots.

“So if Telegram can’t crack down on this, they should be banned from this country.” Telegram was asked to comment.

Meanwhile, Sky News reporter Becky Johnson was forced off air in Birmingham yesterday when a masked protester on an electric bike shouted: “Hey Free Palestine, fuck the EDL.”

Protests broke out in Burton, Staffs.

And Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham urged counter-protesters to “think twice” before confronting protesters.

Australia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Indonesia have urged citizens not to visit Britain.
