What the court heard
He was found guilty of encouragement of terrorism in Romford, east London, between March 2019 and October 2019. The judge said: "Although your beliefs are as preposterous as they are offensive to a civilised society, in our democracy you are entitled to hold them - however, your activities went far beyond what is permissible... you used language and adopted iconography designed to encourage acts of extreme right-wing terrorism... You rejected democratic processes and supported the hate crimes and violence..."
