At an initial hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Saturday, Mair refused to give his name, instead saying he was called "Death to traitors, freedom for Britain".

Mair was not required to enter a plea and his lawyer Keith Allen said there was no indication what plea would be given.

The hearing is expected to consider any application for bail.
