Biography

[edit]

Early life

[edit]

Yerbury was born in August 1995,[1] and was educated at Trinity College, Gawler, a private school in Adelaide, Australia.[2] He then joined the British Army,[3] where he served for 6 years in the 5 Rifles Armoured Battalion.[4][5]

Patriotic Alternative

[edit]

Yerbury joined Patriotic Alternative in the autumn of 2021, where he took on public speaking duties.[3] In 2022, he briefly served as a director of White Indigenous Rights Alliance.[1][2] He had been described as a "rising star" in the organisation in January 2023 by the Mirror.[5]

National Support Detachment and National Rebirth Party

[edit]

After leaving Patriotic Alternative in February 2023, he founded the National Support Detachment (NSD), described as a military-style group.[6][7]

He organised a protest in Lincoln, where he was the main speaker,[8] after the nearby RAF Scampton was announced as a site for housing approximately 2,000 asylum seekers. It was also attended by counter-protestors from Stand Up To Racism and Trades Union Congress.[9][10][11] The protest passed peacefully, although police had to briefly cordone off a small number of the counter-protestors.[8][12] He led protests in Skegness in February and April, again protesting Scampton's prospective use of housing asylum seekers, which were attended by 200 people.[13][14] A further protest in Lincoln took place in July.[15]

On 17 June 2023, he spoke at an anti-immigration rally in Elgin, alongside another Patriotic Alternative splinter group Highland Division,[16] prompting backlash from local politicians,[17] as well as the local MP, Douglas Ross, and the local MSP, Richard Lochhead.[18] Counter-protestors, brought in by LGBTQ and anti-racist organisations, greatly outnumbered the rally attendees, and Yerbury was punched by a passer-by.[19] In July, he participated in a protest in Scarborough, with the Yorkshire Patriots, where he was again outnumbered by counter-protestors.[20]

In February 2024, he registered the National Rebirth Party with the Electoral Commission.[21][22]

Politics

[edit]

Yerbury has been described as far-right,[23][13] white supremacist,[13][24][5] and fascist.[3] He has been described as an Adolf Hitler lookalike.[22][4][5] Yerbury has expressed opposition to politicians and left-wingers, and called Black Lives Matter a terrorist organisation.[25][26] Hope not Hate reported that posters promoting an event he held in Hull referred to "treacherous Westminster criminals and their Global-Marxist agenda",[25] and has described migration as a symptom of a Marxist conspiracy,[3] which he has called a "Jewish doctrine".[27] He has suggested firearms should be used against cross-border migrants, and stated that he wished to see Matt Hancock and Boris Johnson "suffer physical harm".[18] Mark Scholl, writing for Searchlight, described Yerbury as "channeling the ghost of Hitler",[24] who Yerbury has denied imitating and styling himself after.[2][22]

He has disagreed with Mark Collett on Patriotic Alternative's strategy of building "white homeland communities", debating him on the "future of the nazi movement", where Searchlight described Collett as coming "a clear second".[28] He has denounced the standards of behaviour in the neo-nazi movement, stating that due to a culture of "anything goes, as long as the person says the right things" the movement has had "problems like paedophilia, thievery and fraud".[28]

Personal life

[edit]

He has been associated with Katie Fanning, described by Hope Not Hate as his partner,[28] a former member of the Conservative Party, who was suspended from it following an investigation into allegedly racist Facebook posts.[29] She spoke at a NSD event,[26] and is now associated with Traditional Britain Group.[30]
