A United Kingdom, UK, court in Leeds have jailed two men for a total of five years for their role in publishing Facebook posts ”intended to stir racial hatred”. The men were also found guilty of calling for the destruction of a hotel housing 200 asylum seekers in Leeds, during the recent riots in the UK.
According to source, Jordan Parlour, 28, of Brooklands Close, Leeds, appeared at Leeds Crown Court on Friday. He was charged with publishing written material intended to stir racial hatred.
“The charge related to posts he put on Facebook in relation to the Britannia Hotel in Seacroft.” The hotel houses refugees and asylum seekers.
Haven found him guilty of the charge, the judge slammed Parlour with a 20-month sentence.
In a related incident, a company director, Tyler Kay who repeated vile anti-immigrant comments posted by the wife of a Tory Councillor was jailed for 38 months at Northampton Crown Court. Kay had boasted online that he would ‘categorically’ not be arrested.
“Prosecuting Counsel, Matthew Donkin said staff members at the hotel noted that stones had been thrown and windows damaged between August 2 and August 3.
Donkin also said Kay also reposted a screenshot of another message inciting action against a named immigration solicitors in Northampton. There were other posts attributable to him that showed his desire to be involved in organized protests in the town.
”Following the tragic events in Southport, there was then on the 30th July an episode of public disorder in Southport itself. Spreading on the 31st July with disorder in Manchester, Hartlepool, Aldershot and London” Donkin said.
He added: “Those are the posts including the initial one. From his account as the police had it on his phone, his initial post had received six likes. Or thumbs up. The second one about refugees being over here received a single thumbs up. And another Facebook user replied: ‘Wouldn’t do two people doing it the wrong way. And its too late now we’re the minority.’”
The court heard that Parlour’s messages were spread widely, which the judge, the Recorder of Leeds Judge Guy Kearl KC, said was ‘plainly your intention.’
Asked online ‘why’ he was encouraging the hotel attack, Parlour wrote ‘Because they’re over here, given a life of riley off the tax us hardworking people earn when it could be put to better use.
Officers arrested Parlour during the early hours. “He said he wrote the ‘smashing’ post out of ‘anger and frustration.’
The judge said Parlour believed asylum seekers were taking taxpayers money off working people and ‘raping our kids.’
“Parlour recognized how ‘stupid’ he had been,” the court was told
