A vile neo-Nazi with Adolf Hitler's signature tattooed on his arm has been jailed for life for attempting to murder an asylum seeker at a Worcestershire hotel.
Callum Ulysses Parslow, 32, must serve a minimum of 22 years and eight months for stabbing Nahom Hagos in what he claimed was a "protest" against small boat crossings.
At Woolwich Crown Court on Friday, Justice Dove told Parslow: "You committed a vicious and unprovoked assault on a complete stranger who suffered devastating injuries as a result of your violence."
The judge said Parslow was "motivated by your adoption of a far-right neo-Nazi mindset which fuelled your warped, violent and racist views".

He tried to tag numerous prominent politicians including Sir Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman, along with Tommy Robinson, but the message failed to send due to too many recipients.
In his manifesto, he railed against what he called the "evil enemies of nature and of England" who he claimed were demonising Christianity, white people and European culture. Parslow told the court he targeted "one of the Channel migrants" because he was "angry and frustrated".
Police searching Parslow's flat in Worcester found a second knife in a sheath, an axe, a metal baseball bat, a red armband bearing a swastika, a Nazi-era medallion and copies of Mein Kampf.
In a recent victim impact statement, Hagos described suffering "excruciating pain" in his hand that feels "like an electric shock...I had been living and pursuing a happy life before the incident. This is now a distant memory."

Parslow carried out the attack while under investigation for sending "grossly offensive" messages of a "sexual and racist nature" to a TV presenter. He later pleaded guilty to intentional exposure of his genitals in a video he sent from a Facebook account.
The court heard Parslow had previous convictions from 2018, when he was jailed for seven counts of stalking causing fear of violence.
He had sent "sexually graphic and extremely violent" messages to 13 different women using false Facebook accounts between March and September 2017.
