Hundred-Handers (group)

The Hundred-Handers are an international anti-immigration nationalist group from the UK, US, Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Canada. The group are known to put up posters and stickers promoting alt-right nationalism.[1][2] They have been known to put razor blades behind their stickers in the UK.[3][4] This has not been observed in the United States.

History

The group was first reported in May 2018, according to TRT World.[1]

In January 2020, fake Extinction Rebellion posters were reported in Brighton. These included: 'Stop white genocide', 'House the world, destroy the environment' and 'population control in the third world'. Extinction Rebellion Brighton said they are not associated with the posters and do not endorse them.[5] In March 2020, further such stickers appeared in Bedford.[6] In September 2020, stickers with racist slogans and linked to the Hundred Handers appeared in the Crookes area of Sheffield. Stickers were also reported in Scotland.

In June 2020, it was reported that the group had put up messages in Canada, such as: "Never apologise for being white," and "There is a war on whites" and "It's okay to be white."[2]

Currently in 2021, the Hundred-Handers continue to put up anti-immigrant, pro-white stickers, such as ones that read "White Privilege Excellence."[7]
