A neo-Nazi wrote his own “terrorist manifesto” before stabbing an asylum seeker in the chest at a hotel.

Callum Parslow, 32, who also had Adolf Hitlersignature tattooed on his forearm, tried to send X a message claiming that he was “simply doing his duty to Englandtrying to “destroy” his target.

He was found guilty of attempted murder at Leicester Crown Court for attacking Nahom Hagos at the Pear Tree Inn in Hindlip, Worcestershire, with a “special” blade he had bought online for £770.

The white supremacist tried to claim he traveled four-and-a-half miles to stab “one of the Channel migrants” on April 2 because he was “angry and upset” about the small boat crossing.

The court heard that as police closed in, Parslow attempted to tweet his manifesto.

But he couldn’t send it because he tagged too many people in it.

These included Tommy Robinson and prominent politicians including Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman.

In the document, Parslow attacked what he called the “evil enemies of nature and England”, whom he called “Jews, Marxists and globalists”, who he said were responsible for the demonization of Christianity, white people and European culture.

Prosecutor Tom Storey K.S. said it was clear the manifesto was intended to be published online as it ended with a list of X handles or tags, which also included tags from UKIP and news outlets including the BBC and GB News.

Laurence Fox, Nick Griffin, Donald Trump, Lee Anderson, Liz Truss, Michael Gove, Lord David Cameron, Richard Tice and Boris Johnson were also on the list of those Parslow tried to include, the court heard.

Mr Storey said a police search of Parslow’s flat in Bromyard Terrace, Worcester, turned up a second sheath knife, an axe, a metal baseball bat, a red swastika armband, a Nazi-era medallion and copies of Mein Kampf.

Following the stabbing, police decided it gave rise to suspicions that it was a terrorist attack, and Parslow was questioned by police but did not answer questions put to him.

The jury was told CCTV footage from the Pear Hotel showed the defendant arriving at the hotel and attacking Mr Hagos, who is originally from East Africa.

Blood containing a DNA profile matching that of 25-year-old Mr Hagos was found on the blade of a knife thrown by Parslow, whose email address contained the phrase “lordadolfreborn”.

Details of the trial could not be revealed until the court order was overturned on Friday after Parslow pleaded guilty to an unrelated sex offense and two charges under the Harmful Communications Act.

Parslow was remanded in custody and will be sentenced by Judge Dove at Woolwich Crown Court on a date to be fixed.

The jury was told that a manifesto found on the former supermarket worker’s mobile phone also said: “They will call me a terrorist, they will call me an extremist: I am neither.”

“Become the White man they talk about. Become Albion’s revenge. Become the wrath of Britain.”

Some of his tweets also advocate the use of extreme violence against immigrants entering Britain, with one saying: “Open the door with a knife in your hand and shout at them.” If they attack you, it’s fair game.

The jury was told Parslow had Hitler’s signature tattooed on his arm “to demonstrate his commitment to the ideals of the leader of the German Nazi Party”.

Explaining the circumstances of the attempted murder to the jury, Mr Storey said: “Mr Hagos (after Parslow asked where he was from) told him he was from Eritrea.

“The defendant then pulled out a knife and began stabbing him and inflicting wounds on his chest and the back of his arm.

“The defendant’s actions that day were carefully planned and driven by a specific ideology, particularly far-right ideology, which led him to identify and target his victim based on his ethnicity.”

On arrival at the hospital, Mr Hagos was found to have an 8cm long wound on his left chest, which did not affect any of his vital organs.

Mr Hagos, who was eating in the conservatory when he was attacked, said of his survival: “I still look at it as a miracle. God saved me.”

Parslow showed no reaction when found guilty of attempted murder and minutes later pleaded guilty to crimes committed in July and August last year, including deliberately exposing his genitals in a video he posted from his account on Facebook.
