Factory worker Robert Taylor was caught on camera saying 'Hitler is my hero'
A right-wing extremist who repeatedly said "gas" to a Jewish family at a Lancashire car boot sale and handed out vile posters has been jailed.
"He said the defendant’s actions have made him question whether his family’s long-term future lies in the UK." When detained he told officers: "Protesting the sexual grooming of children, yes." His mobile phone was later examined and revealed he had posted racist, homophobic and antisemitic content from his social media profile on the Telegram platform.
Richard Simons, defending, said Taylor was a “highly intelligent man” whose offending was brought about by “intellectual curiosity that led him down a rabbit hole of research”. Taylor’s mother died a number of years ago and he had been diagnosed with depression although had chosen not to take his medication, he said.
