Deputy speaker, this is in response to the motion co-authored by the duke Tommy2Boys and dame SapphireWork last term. It uses the powers bestowed upon the government by the Terrorism Act 2000 to amend schedule 2, the list of proscribed organisations, and thereby proscribing the Proud Boys. It further plays catch-up on proscribing further organisations that plausibly should have been already.
Opening Speech: Tommy2Boys
Deputy Speaker
I am pleased to have worked with Her Majesty’s Government in acting on the wishes of this House in proscribing the Proud Boys as a terrorist organisation. We all watched in horror last year when the Capitol Building was subject to an insurrection – led in a large part by the Proud Boys – in one of the most shocking assaults on democracy I can recall. I would like to thank the government for cooperating with me on this matter and I am confident that the United Kingdom will be a safer and more tolerant place as a result of this joint action.
Opening Speech: SapphireWork
Deputy Speaker,
I am delighted that Her Majesty’s government has seen fit to follow up on a motion, which was successfully passed earlier this year, to proscribe the Proud Boys as a terrorist organisation. I co-authored this motion with my good friend, the Duke of Aberdeen, in response to the actions of our allied nations, which have also declared this group to be a terrorist organisation.
The Proud Boys are a group that gained notoriety earlier this year with the insurrection on the Capital Building of the United States, yet this was merely one of many examples of targeted violence, thinly veiled under the guise of civil disobedience, that are associated with the Proud Boys. This is an organisation that is founded on the principles of hatred, racism, and misogyny.
I too wish to thank the Government for taking action on this, and in sending a message that we will not accept organisations that seek to spread hate and violence, and that we will join our allies in condemning this group.
