A white supremacist who owned boxer shorts emblazoned with Nazi swastikas has been found guilty of stirring up racial hatred.

Nathan Worrell, 46, from Grimsby had denied 11 race hate offences after being accused of distributing stickers and posters with slogans including "Diversity is White Genocide" and "Refugees Not Welcome".

He was arrested in November 2017 but denied having done anything wrong saying if people did not like the slogans they could ignore them.

During the trial Worrell described himself as an "ethno-nationalist" and said he did not believe in diversity or multiculturism.

When police searched his home they found shirts, jumpers and underwear bearing Nazi symbols as well as swastika fridge magnets and a large amount of Nazi propaganda.

The prosecution said the material was threatening, abusive or insulting and Worrell’s intention was to stir up racial hatred around Grimsby by distributing or displaying the stickers.

Prosecutors also said that he had also stirred up racial hatred by publishing, distributing and displaying the racist stickers on lamp posts, signs and notice boards.

He was convicted of eight charges but cleared of three others at Grimsby Crown Court.

Worrell was remanded in custody and will be sentenced on Thursday.

Jenny Hopkins from the Crown Prosecution Service said: “Nathan Worrell is a committed neo-Nazi with a hatred of people who are not white.
