A Neo-Nazi terrorist has been found guilty of threatening a prison officer because he was unhappy about being served a jacket potato for lunch.
Nicholas Brock, who was already serving a prison sentence for having information likely to be useful to a terrorist, threatened to shoot the guard in the back of the head.
His reason? The jacket potato did not meet his dietary requirements, a trial heard.
In a separate incident, the 57-year-old hurled abuse at his probation officer, telling another, ‘I’ll just shoot her myself.’
He was convicted at Oxford Crown Court of making threats to kill prison staff on May 20, 2024, and on October 9, 2024, Counter Terrorism Policing South East said.

Brock also claimed to know people who could reactivate guns so he could use them to harm prison staff and others after he was released.
When counter-terror officers raided his Maidenhead home earlier this year, they found an armoury of deactivated firearms, a knuckle duster, swords, knives and a sword disguised as a walking stick.
He was sentenced on Tuesday to one year in prison for each count, to run consecutively to each other, police said.
Brock was investigated in 2020 and found to have racist videos, images and video footage from the Christchurch massacre in New Zealand.
He was also a collector of Second World War and Nazi Germany military items, police said.
The Nazi sympathiser collected daggers from the Third Reich, downloaded terrorism manuals and had a framed ‘certificate of recognition’ from the Ku Klux Klan in his own name mounted on the wall.
Brock also had tattoos of the ‘death’s head’ skulls, associated with the paramilitary SS group, as well as swastikas and other symbols from Adolf Hitler’s Germany.
Police raided the house that he shared with his mother in Maidenhead in January 2018, and found a hoard of extremist literature, including a copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf.
The collection included various racist memes, a video of the 2019 white supremacist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand and a news clip of the banned terrorist group National Action.
Officers also found photographs of Brock wearing a President Donald Trump Make America Great Again hat, posing in a balaclava while holding firearms, and with others making Nazi salutes.
Head of Counter Terrorism Policing South East DCS Claire Finlay said: ‘Brock’s behaviour has demonstrated that his extreme right-wing mindset did not diminish during his time spent in prison and his aggressive behaviour was escalating as his prison release date approached.
‘It was clear that Brock continued to pose a risk of significant harm towards the victims in this case, as well as towards members of the public from minority backgrounds, and those in positions of authority.’
