The Wearside Patriots, alongside other chapters, have been taking part in newly founded “Patriot Patrols” across Newcastle and Sunderland. These are similar patrols to those undertaken by the Northwest Patriots, and other anti-migrant vigilante groups across the country. While these groups tend to masquerade under the guise of ‘community protection’, many have been exposed for welcoming members with violent criminal backgrounds or promoting racist content online. They have also begun a patriot running club alongside the Tyneside and Durham Patriots.
