Hunt for race hate writer on run

21:06 by Editor · 0 Post a comment on AAWR

Police have launched a manhunt after a writer who penned race hate articles for a controversial website failed to turn up at court. 
Stephen Whittle penned five offensive articles which appeared on the Internet, a jury was told.

The unemployed 41-year-old, of Avenham Lane, Avenham, Preston, was found guilty of publishing racially inflammatory written material, and four similar charges.

A seven-week trial at Leeds Crown Court heard that Whittle wrote five offensive articles which later appeared on a website run by co-defendant Simon Sheppard, 51, of Brook Street in Selby, North Yorkshire.

Prosecutor Jonathan Sandiford told the jury that Whittle used the pseudonym Luke O'Farrell for the articles, which were posted on the web between March 2005 and January 2006.

The articles were either threatening, insulting or abusive and may have been intended to stir up racial hatred, Mr Sandiford added.

Previously, Mr Sandiford told the jury that Sheppard and Whittle held what they may regard as fairly extreme views about people who were Jewish, black, Asian, Chinese, Indian and, in reality, anyone who was not white.

He said: "People in this country are entitled to be racist and they are entitled to hold unpleasant points of view, but what they aren't entitled to do is publish or distribute written material which is insulting, threatening or abusive and is intended to stir up racial hatred or is likely to do so." continues here
