A Preston man, seeking asylum in the United States after being convicted of hate speech crimes in the UK will be deported after nearly a year in US custody.
Stephen Whittle, 42, and Simon Sheppard, 52, of Selby, fled in July 2008 after being convicted of publishing hate speech against Jews and other groups on their website. The men sought asylum under America's free speech protections, claiming they were being persecuted for their right-wing views.
They were taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport when they asked a uniformed US official for help. An immigration judge ordered that the men be deported to the UK to face justice, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Sheppard and Whittle fled the UK last July during a trial at Leeds Crown Court after being released on bail while the jury deliberated over further charges after convicting them on several counts.

ReplyDeleteMaybe Arthur Kemp should think twice about fleeing to the US! He can always go back to Zimbabwe!

ReplyDeleteNo, the guy on the left is semi-transparent. . .
Immigration is an emotional issue for Lincolnshire voters – it was workers from the county who staged the week-long strike outside the Lindsey oil refinery in protest against the use of foreign labour in February. The BNP won their first district council seat in a Boston by-election last year, and the far-right party fought for 23 seats across the county this week.
ReplyDeleteAND THEY WON FECK ALL
joy
Hartlepool have been saved from the indignity of a BNP mayor.

ReplyDeleteOut of the entire 214 the BNP have not won a single seat .This also included 37 seats in Essex which the BNP saw as a prime battle ground

ReplyDeleteBNP's Sharon Wilkinson has got Padiham and Burnley West, fuck it. Still, Lancashire and Cumbria were always a worry in the Counties.

Bloody Asylum seekers!
ReplyDelete"Bloody Asylum seekers!"
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Stepped off a plane in America, were housed overnight, and walked straight into a job with all their food and clothing provided by the American taxpayer. Only right that they should be humanely repatriated.
