White Pendragons
The White Pendragons are a tiny, Trump-supporting racist group in the UK. They spend their time:
- trying and failing to perform citizen's arrests of politicians they don't like, such as the Muslim mayor of London, Sadiq Khan
File:Wikipedia's W.svg [1] - talking about how Anglo-Saxon (i.e. white) English people supposedly invented absolutely everything that is great in the world[2]
- and pushing deranged conspiracy theories — in particular:
- freemen on the land theories involving the Magna Carta
- conspiracy theories that the actually rather moderate Fabian Society is part of some secret extremist plot[2]

People associated with the group have previously been involved with the anti-Muslim English Defence League[2] and the micro-party the English Democrats (not to be confused with the US Democratic Party, with which it has no relationship).[1]
While claiming (probably for legal reasons) that they welcome people of all races and religions,[1] there is no evidence that they are anything other than an all-white, ethnonationalist group.
Khan "arrest"
They purportedly tried to arrest Sadiq Khan in 2018, claiming that he should not be mayor of London "because he is a Muslim" (holding a political office while Muslim is not, needless to say, a crime in the UK). However, in doing so, they demonstrated that they did not know what a citizen's arrest
They also, disturbingly, brought along a home-made gallows, but hid it out of sight outside, presumably so they would not be arrested for threatening behaviour or similar.[2]
