Far right nationalist group linked to banner flown over Liverpool v Man City match at Etihad stadium

Links are being made between a far-right nationalist group and a banner flown over the Etihad Stadium during the Liverpool and Manchester City match.

The group, named Patriotic Alternative, claim to believe that 'native British people' will become a minority by the year 2066. They claimed responsibility for posting leaflets in letter boxes and handing them out in town centres across the North West last weekend, the MEN reports.

Despite not taking responsibility for the plane being flown over Manchester, the wording of the banner is the same as the phrasing on the leaflets. The group's deputy leader, Laura Towler, also posted an article about the incident on social media platform Telegram. Some activists who support the group also appear to have retweeted a video of the banner.
