Well-known far-right agitator Ryan Ferguson has seen his Instagram page removed after calling for violence against Merseyside Police officers in their own homes. Ferguson, from Netherton, has previously been jailed for racially abusing a footballer and making false 999 calls.
Self-described far-right nationalist Ferguson shared a video to Instagram in which he called for a “civil war” and a “riot” over a video which appeared to show police using CS spray on a young man who appeared to be resisting arrest.
Ferguson called for violence against officers in their own homes, saying “they are humans” and were “playing a dangerous game”. Ferguson’s page, which had just shy of 10,000 followers and was headed with the hashtag ‘Britain White’, has now been removed by Instagram.
It is understood Ferguson’s page was taken down over content seen as hate speech that glorified violence or promoted dangerous organisations.
Ferguson shared videos promoting far-right ideology and wearing clothing adorned with imagery widely recognised as having neo-Nazi connotations. He was previously pictured wearing the clothing at a Britain First meeting.
When previously contacted by the ECHO regarding the clothing, Ferguson said he was unable to comment because the political party he worked for prevented him from giving statements.
In August, Ferguson was pictured attending a far-right demonstration outside the King’s Gap Hotel in Hoylake. Ferguson’s previous convictions include breaching football banning orders on a number of occasions and a nine-month prison sentence for racially abusing a footballer.
He also appeared at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court in August 2025 where he was sentenced to 17 weeks’ custody for wasting police time. His own solicitor told proceedings Ferguson’s extreme views were “moderating”.
On Sunday, January 11 the ECHO reported Ferguson had visited convicted terrorist and child sex offender Jack Renshaw at HMP Wakefield, dubbed ‘monster mansion’.
Renshaw, formerly spokesperson of proscribed fascist group National Action, was jailed in 2019 for a plot to kill Labour MP Rosie Cooper after buying a 19-inch machete.
Ferguson, who has the emblem of fascist group Britain First tattooed on his arm, was arrested in July on suspicion of inviting support for banned neo-Nazi organisation National Action.
Ferguson told a protest outside an Altrincham hotel that “National Action are back. National Action are proud.”
National Action was a neo-Nazi group established in 2013 with branches across the UK but with a heartland in the north west.
It was banned by the UK government three years later after it was found to be “concerned in terrorism”. It also promoted and encouraged acts of terrorism after MP Jo Cox’s murder.
The then home secretary, Amber Rudd, said: “National Action is a racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic organisation which stirs up hatred, glorifies violence and promotes a vile ideology. It has absolutely no place in a Britain that works for everyone.”
Both Merseyside Police and Meta declined to comment when approached by the ECHO.
The ECHO approached Ferguson but received no response by deadline.
