Not an actual Viking

Welsh podcaster, now serving a prison term for "hate speech" in the UK. His real name is James Allchurch, born 1972, based in rural Pembrokeshire.

The name "Sven Longshanks" was cooked up from on a common Viking first name and Edward I's nickname. As Edward I was the Anglo-Norman king who crushed the Welsh, this suggests Allchurch is a bit confused or identifies with the invader of his homeland. He may even be partly English and has some "ethnic animus" against the real Welsh.

Allchurch made his name as a Neo-Nazi, Jew-obsessed podcaster with  his 'Radio Aryan' podcast. Guests and co-hosts included Archeo-Nazi Carolyn Yaeger, Brutus (aka "Subal" fresh out of his Hare Krishna stage), and Alex Davies, one of the founders of National Action, which was later outlawed as a "terrorist group." The show was boosted on the Daily Stormer and by Morgoth. He also frequently interacted with people at the largely gay Neo-Nazi Counter-Currents site.

It was the usual blame-everything-on-the-Jews crap and Whites-as-puny-victims garbage, with plenty of "unfortunate terminology" applied to non-White and immigrant groups. He also advocated for allowing epidemics such as ebola and monkeypox to "cull large swathes of the population."

In 2022 this led to Allchurch going on trial for 15 counts of "hate speech" at Swansea Crown Court.

It would be naïve to see this purely as a "free speech" trial. Allchurch is linked to a whole Neo-Nazi conspiritard nexus that shows signs of having been weaponised against the UK and the wider West by sinister Kremlin actors, see here, here, and here.

Although the trial was only expected to take a couple of weeks, a barristers' strike in the UK led to the end of the trial being delayed by a further 10 months. It is expected to resume in May 2023.

UPDATE: In May 2023 Allchurch was sentenced to two-and-a-half years imprisonment.
