Adam Thomas and Claudia Patatas gave their child the middle name Adolf, the trial has heard

The trial began this week of a Banbury couple accused of being members of a banned British neo-Nazi group.

Prosecutors say Adam Thomas, 22, and Claudia Patatas, 38, named their baby after Adolf Hitler. They also allege that Mr Thomas posed in a photo with the baby while wearing Ku Klux Klan robes, and that they kept machetes, crossbows and other weaponry at their home.

The pair are charged alongside Daniel Bogunovic, 27, with being members of banned group National Action.

All three deny being in the group.

The Bullingdon Club dates back centuries

Members of the infamous Bullingdon Club have been banned from holding positions in the Oxford University Conservative Association (OUCA).

The body has put the Bullingdon, whose past members included David Cameron, George Osborne and Boris Johnson, on its list of proscribed organisations.

The male-only club became notorious for the riotous, drunken antics of its often wealthy, privileged members.

OUCA president Ben Etty said it had "no place" in the modern Tory party.

An Oxford University college has commissioned portraits of staff and students to show off its diversity.

The exhibition at Magdalen College includes black, Asian and LGBTQ+ students, researchers, teachers, cooks, gardeners and cleaners.

Calla Randall, junior common room president, said they "more accurately" reflected the college community.

The university has been criticised for a lack of social and racial diversity among its students and academics.
