Couple who gave child middle name ‘Adolf’ found guilty of Neo-Nazi terrorism offences
Adam Thomas and his partner Claudia Da Silva Patatas have been found guilty of being neo-Nazi terrorist group members.
Self-confessed racist Thomas said in evidence that giving his child the middle name 'Adolf' was in "admiration" of Hitler.
Police believe the banned organisation was planning a "white jihad" - a racial holy war. They now hope this will never happen.

Former Amazon security guard Thomas, formerly of Erdington in Birmingham, and Patatas, a photographer originally from Portugal, were found guilty after a seven-week trial at Birmingham Crown Court.
What is National Action?
The group promoted racial division, believing in white supremacy, and had a huge amount of guns, machetes and crossbows.
The group was proscribed in 2016 - which means membership is a crime, but some members continued regardless.
Police believe National Action members were drawing up a violent plan to execute what they called 'White Jihad' - a racial holy war.
Chief Superintendent Matt Ward says the threat from far-right terrorism is growing and getting "more organised and more sophisticated" by the day.
10 members have now been convicted but police say,
