    The article doesn’t even say what that dude was imprisoned for.

    Being right wing isn’t a crime on it’s own. It’s like bunch of stupids are writing a sensationalist piece for other stupids to be angry about.

      Contempt of court (this time). He was found to have libelled a 15 year old refugee a few years back, and having already had an injunction placed against him to stop repeating the libel he did so a third time anyway and the courts got fed up with his shit

      Read it again. It literally says why he’s serving 18 months. Hell, even the OP shared that paragraph.
