It just goes to show how powerful that political/religious indoctrination can be.

I remember a documentary called "The Fatal Attraction OF Adolph Hitler". In it was an older gentleman describing as a kid being at a Hitler Youth rally only a few rows from the front as the Fuhrer himself was speaking to them. He acknowledged that the whole Nazi movement was a terrible thing, but still felt the excitement and pride when recalling the rally. It just goes to show how the programming is almost impossible to break in some people - even when it is demonstrated that the movement they still adore decades later was flawed, immoral, inhuman, and ultimately brought ruin to their own beloved Fatherland.

I wouldn't feel too amazed that such a fellow lives in London. Every community has its 0.01% extremists. The only difference is that this guy has a nice big piece of land to announce his loyalties to all who see it.

Extremism has always been around, and will continue to be into the future. The fact that it is alive today in various forms around the world sadly demonstrates that beneath the thin veneer of even a civilized society can still lurk the ability of people to do terrible things to each other.
