Furious 24-Year-Old Man Who Had Enough of Asylum Seekers Living in the UK Took Matters Into His Own Hands and Planned Something That Has Now Landed Him in Unexpected Situations

A 24-year-old man accused of being a Nazi supporter allegedly planned to attack a hotel housing asylum seekers in Hull, with the aim of killing as many migrants as possible, a court has heard.

Mikka Lee Anderson is accused of keeping petrol bombs, homemade incendiary devices and other weapons at his home while preparing for a possible terrorist attack.

Newcastle Crown Court heard that Anderson appeared to live a normal life with his partner and young child. He also worked at a Wren Kitchens factory. However, prosecutors claim he was secretly planning a violent attack because of his extreme right-wing beliefs.

The court was told that his main target was the historic Royal Hotel in Hull city centre, which was being used to accommodate asylum seekers.

Prosecutors also claimed Anderson had considered attacking Labour MP Karl Turner, who represents Kingston upon Hull East, as well as a local imam and sharia law courts.

During the opening day of his trial, jurors heard that Anderson strongly believed in white nationalism and admired Adolf Hitler. He allegedly believed Muslims were trying to take over Britain and that people from other racial backgrounds were a threat to white society.

Prosecutor Adam Birkby told the court that Anderson began watching and studying the Royal Hotel in autumn 2025. The hotel was only a short distance from his home, and he allegedly decided it would be a suitable target for an attack.

Police later discovered around 20 knives, a crossbow, camouflage clothing and a gas mask at his property.

The court also heard that Anderson had a copy of a book containing information about making dangerous devices. Prosecutors said he had used it to produce petrol bombs, napalm and smoke bombs.

According to the prosecution, Anderson tried to find other people in Hull who shared his views and would be willing to help carry out violent attacks.

However, many of those he approached were reportedly uncomfortable with his extreme ideas and did not want to become involved.

The court heard that some were particularly disturbed when Anderson openly described himself as a Nazi.

In February, Anderson allegedly made contact with another man online. The two later met, and Anderson reportedly explained his plan to attack the Royal Hotel.

Prosecutors said he wanted to kill as many asylum seekers staying inside the building as possible.

During their conversation, Anderson allegedly told the man that he owned a crossbow and had developed a device that could be used to launch petrol bombs through the hotel’s windows.

At first, Anderson reportedly believed the man might be willing to support his plans because he also held strong anti-immigration views.

However, the situation took a different turn when the man contacted police just two days after their meeting.

The court heard that he decided to report Anderson because he was concerned that a serious terrorist attack could happen.

Police arrested Anderson on February 26 as he arrived at the Wren Kitchens factory for work.

During 10 police interviews, Anderson denied that he had been preparing to carry out an attack.

He claimed that his conversations about attacking the hotel were only hypothetical and that he had no intention of putting the plans into action.

Although he admitted having right-wing political views, he denied being a Nazi or a racist.

Anderson also told investigators that the weapons and dangerous materials found at his home were connected to his interest in survivalism and preparing for possible disasters.

However, prosecutors challenged his explanation.

The court heard that in September 2025, Anderson had allegedly told another person that he was gathering supplies and preparing for violence.

He also reportedly expressed strong anti-Muslim views, claiming that Muslims were not coming to Britain to become part of society but wanted to take control.

Mr Birkby argued that Anderson’s actions showed he was not simply expressing political opinions but was actively preparing to use violence against people he considered enemies.

The prosecutor told jurors that Anderson was willing to attack people and property to spread fear and promote his extreme right-wing beliefs.

Anderson has denied preparing acts of terrorism and possessing articles for a terrorist purpose.

His trial at Newcastle Crown Court is expected to last eight days.

The allegations have not yet been proven, and the trial continues.
