Two Men Involved In Online Racial Hatred Are Jailed In The UK
Today, two men were sentenced to a total of five years in prison for their roles in posting Facebook messages that were "intended to stir racial hatred" and demanding the demolition of a hotel in Leeds that was housing 200 asylum seekers during the recent riots in the United Kingdom. Jordan Parlour, 28, of Brooklands Close, Leeds, was charged on Friday with distributing written content meant to incite racial hatred when he appeared at Leeds Crown Court.

Additionally, Tyler Kay, a director of the company, was sentenced to 38 months in prison for reposting deplorable remarks made about immigrants by the wife of a Tory councillor.
