A man who used social media to stoke racial hatred during the far-right violence that erupted in Britain last week and encouraged people to torch hotels housing asylum seekers was sentenced Friday to more than three years in prison.
The term handed down to Tyler Kay, a 26-year-old father of three, was among the harshest sentences so far for people who have taken part in or encouraged the latest rioting in Britain."You posted as you did because you thought there were no consequences for yourself from stirring up racial hatred in others," Judge Adrienne Lucking told Kay in Northampton Crown Court.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who ordered courts to expedite cases to deliver swift justice to deter others from taking part in what he called "far-right thuggery," has told police to be on high alert this weekend.Earlier in the day, Jordan Parlour, 28, was sentenced 20 months in prison for encouraging Facebook followers to attack a hotel in Leeds that housed migrants because he was frustrated with immigration problems in the United Kingdom.
So far, nearly 600 people have been arrested and more than 175 have appeared in court, the Ministry of Justice said. The government has pledged to track down and prosecute those responsible for the disorder, including people who incite violence online.Kay's sentencing came only two days after he reposted a message on the X platform that said: "Set fire to all the hotels full of the bastards.
