A Selby man who fled to the United States after waging a campaign of hate against Jews and other minority groups has been jailed.
Simon Sheppard, 52, was convicted, along with Stephen Whittle, 42, of a number of race hate crimes. He was sentenced to four years and 10 months, while Whittle was jailed for two years and four months at Leeds Crown Court.
The pair had two lengthly trials. During the first, in July last year, the pair skipped bail and fled to California, where they sought asylum claiming they were being persecuted for their right-wing views.
They were deported back to the UK last month.
The investigation into the men began when a complaint about a leaflet called "Tales of the Holohoax" was reported to the police in 2004 after it was pushed through the door of a Synagogue in Blackpool.
It was traced back to a post office box in Hull registered to Sheppard.
Police later found a website featuring racially inflammatory material. Other published material included grotesque images of murdered Jews alongside cartoons and articles ridiculing ethnic groups.
The pair were charged with publishing racially inflammatory material, distributing racially inflammatory material and possessing racially inflammatory material with a view to distribution.
Sheppard, of Brook Street, was found guilty of 16 offences and Whittle, of Avenham Lane, Preston, Lancashire, was found guilty of five.
Judge Rodney Grant said: "I can say without any hesitation that I have rarely seen, or had to read or consider, material which is so abusive and insulting ... towards racial groups within our own society."

DISGRACEFUL !
The establishment have now set the legal precedent that they required.
Even if a website is hosted in the U.S.A. it isn't protected under the First Amendment, this is bad news for those who run websites/blogs.
Oh well, "****-em if they can't take a joke". That's my motto.
Another point is that a mugger/rapist/person caught using violence would most probably get a shorter sentence than the "H2".
What a sick world that we are forced to endure, it beggars belief, it really does.
Sickening, absolutely SICKENING!
There are IRA murderers hiding out in the USA, but no, this shower of shit would rather persecute 2 'wacist' bloggers!

The establishment must very, very, afraid !
This is the most biased piece of journalism I've ever seen from the ZOG controlled BBC about Simon & Steve. These two men are heros of the truth,they really rattled the Jews' cage.

"Waging a campaign of hate against Jews and minority groups."
What did this campaign involve and how is "hate" defined?
To me it appears that "hate" is a catch all word. To me it appears that if you don't subscribe to an establishment agenda you are ,by definition, guilty of "hate"--go to prison. To me it appears that if you don't smile 24/7 at a protected minority group then you are ,by definition, guilty of "hate"--go to prison.My own feelings are that the real hate mongers are the people who create and who enforce this truely evil legislation. The law should exist to protect all by weighing issues justly. The law should not exist to defend or promote political dogma. It appears to me that the law is now corrupted to enchain the majority.
Our society is now totally Schizophrenic. Our government imprisons two essentially harmless men for articles they have writen. This same government wages an unjust war (promoted on lies) against Islam. One million Iraq citizens killed and four million turned into refugees. And the government that has participated in this crime (dare I say holocaust?) has the nerve to accuse and imprison two powerless men for what --hate.
Truely this is a Schizophrenic government and society.
Now the good news. The people hold the government ,the courts and the police in contemt. (and rightly so in my opinion) A ruling elite that is held in contempt by those below can not endure.

REAL HISTORY YOU WONT FIND ON UAF.
This is how the oppressive system we live under works.
Few are actually sent to prison but it sends a message to the entire public best not to say anything at all critical about the system just in case.
The snag is that the web has become almost universally available and uncontrollable. The days are over when token arrests can silence expression of dissent.
The fact is that those in power are stuffed in the long run if they try to rule by lies. They've really not grasped this yet and carry on thinking the old methods of arrest, infiltration and intimidation will work.
People used to say communism was brought down by the photocopier. In the long-run this evil racket will be said to have been defeated by the web.

THE TRUTH CAN GET YOU HUNG!!!
THEY IMPORT THEM HERE MAKE THERE LAWS THEN POLICE US AND JAIL US!
Adil Kahn, head of diversity and community cohesion for Humberside Police, said: "I think it is a question of when not if for their return to the UK. This has been a lengthy operation, but will on Monday, if the judge decides to sentence them in their absence, be closer to conclusion. The US authorities have been great, but we have had to go through the due process. Sheppard and Whittle will be here to face justice for their victims and for the hard work of all the officers involved in this case."

Revelations made in recent years have not been kind to some of the writers and artists who made their reputations in the Spanish civil war. George Orwell's list of public figures who were crypto-communists, prepared for a Foreign Office propaganda arm in 1949, sullied his saintly image when it was published six years ago. Research in Soviet archives led Antony Beevor to call Andre Malraux a "mythomaniac". Robert Capa has been accused of faking the best-known photo of that conflict. The virulent hatred of Arabs of Martha Gellhorn - Hemingway's third wife, who covered the civil war with him - has been exposed. And now it's the turn of Hemingway himself, the biggest name of all, to lose some of his lustre.
