Why here?': inside mid-Wales village where far-right figure has created a settlement

Two hilly, wooded parcels of land in Llanafan Fawr were bought by the Woodlander Initiative (TWI), a land-buying scheme led by Simon Birkett, a far-right figure with links to Patriotic Alternative, the UK's largest fascist group. Critics say Wiltshire-based Birkett's aim is to create a racially exclusive settlement; he has cited Orania, a whites-only town in South Africa, as an inspiration for the project. TWI successfully bought the two small plots totalling a few acres from a local farmer late last year, after attempts in Cumbria and East Sussex fell through. Since launching in 2023, the group has raised 165,000 of a goal of 1m money Birkett plans to use to buy land or property in every county in Britain.
