Two men have been convicted of publishing “obnoxious and abhorrent” racist material. Simon Sheppard, 51, of Brook Street, Selby, and Stephen Whittle, 41, of Avenham Lane, Preston, have been found guilty of a number of offences. A trial at Leeds Crown Court heard they printed leaflets and controlled websites featuring racist material. The pair, who are currently in the hands of US immigration authorities, will be sentenced in March…
Is this really an anti-fascist news ? I would say it’s pro-fascist. Control and repression, of the racist speech maybe, but it’s still control and repression. Plus, it gives these assholes a possibility to gain moral clout.
To report on something is not necessarily to agree with its contents.
Agreed. But not saying anything about it leaves the author’s intentions open to all interpretations.
