I read in one article that the perp had numerous firearms and lots of ammo. Aren't the gun laws in Old Blighty very very strict?

Anywhere and Everywhere there is a Black Market though and the cost would be over a Thousand Pounds on the Black Market. He might Be a Right Wing Turd but I would say he had some money.

I may have misremembered: "West Yorkshire police said they seized a number of weapons, including a firearm, shortly after the attack."
Saame point though. You can't keep crazies from getting guns.

Was Germany's Nazi party an extreme left or right wing party?
Almost all of their contemporaries would classify them as extreme right.
Because:
1). They were violently hostile to all center-left and far-left political parties for their entire existence as a party.
2). They formed coalitions with the traditional right in both electoral politics (the colation government that made Hitler Chancellor) and in bureaucratic politics (their uneasy detente with the German army, which becomes more of a co-option of the army as time goes on.
3). They were violently nationalist, and anti-internationalist , compared to the internationalism of the contemporary left.
4) As the 30's wear on, they form alliances with other far right governments.
5) They oppose class struggle, a central tenet of Marxists, Democratic and Bolshevik alike.
Basically, they are right wing because they define themselves in opposition to the left, even if they differ with traditionalist conservatives.
Note: note that I define their position in the spectrum based on contemporary politics, not ideology.

PO1 (Join to see) - Its a name. Like "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" which has nothing to do with democracy, is nothing at all resembling a republic and only is for the "people" who are direct descendant's of Kim Il Sung and his elites. "Korea" is about the only part of its name with any bearing on its reality.
So with the Nazi party. It had little to do with workers (unless slaves count), not much to do with socialism, and everything to do with nationalism, which is a very right-wing trait.

Don't ignore threat of extremist nationalism
The attack on British MP Jo Cox is just the latest reminder that we cannot ignore extremism of any kind, writes H.A. Hellyer.
