A self-declared “British fascist”—who has admitted sharing terrorist materials on Telegram—has told a judge he was “horrified” at the thought he could be encouraging political violence.

Kristofer Kearney, 38, ran the Telegram channel Charlie Big Potatoes on which he claimed Adolf Hitler “showed people the way” and “did nothing wrong.” He also shared posts encouraging violence against black people, Jews, and Muslims.
