A man has pleaded guilty to stirring up racial hatred by sharing 130 pieces of white supremacist content.
Richard Osbourne, 53 from Solihull, was said to have posted content to the Russian social media platform VK, which is believed to have an active user base of at least 60 million.
Birmingham Crown Court heard that Mr Osbourne posted 120 pieces of content that targeted Jews and other groups between 16th February 2022 and 9th January 2023.Â
He reportedly posted another ten pieces that were said to have attacked people based on sexual orientation between 24th September 2021 and 1st December 2022.
It was said that Mr Osbourne shared a moving image of the flag of National Action, the neo-Nazi terrorist group that was proscribed by the British Government following repeated calls by Campaign Against Antisemitism and others.
Mr Osbourne also pleaded guilty to possessing a shotgun without a license.
Campaign Against Antisemitism closely monitors the far-right, which remains a dangerous threat to the Jewish community and other minority groups.
