A man who posted 'vile' anti-Semitic material online ahead of a planned neo-Nazi rally has been jailed for more than three years.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, 23, tweeted images of Auschwitz concentration camp and a bottle of weed killer ahead of the event in Golders Green, a predominantly Jewish area of north London.

He was arrested at his home in Yeovil, Somerset, after police discovered he was involved in organising the gathering, which was touted as an 'anti-Jewification' rally against 'Jewish privilege'.

The demonstration was later moved and held in central London.

The internet troll, who was a member of the National British Resistance, also posted a video on his YouTube page in which he claimed the white British race will die out by the end of the century.

Bonehill-Paine denied the charge of publishing material to incite racial hatred, but was later found guilty. He was sentenced to three years and four months in prison at Southwark Crown Court.

It comes just two months after Bonehill-Paine was cleared of being grossly offensive after he called for disabled people to be exterminated.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Barnes, who led the investigation, said: 'Bonehill-Paine posted vile, anti-Semitic material online.

'This kind of material is illegal and its publication is damaging to communities.

'There are challenges in attributing such material posted online to the originator but our digital forensic examiners worked tirelessly, carrying out extensive analysis of the material, phone data and online activity to prove that Bonehill-Paine posted the material from his laptop.

'The Met fully understands the hurt that is felt in communities affected by this type of crime. It is only by continually working with communities that we can ensure they are safe and free from fear.

'As this case demonstrates, there is no place for people inciting racial hatred under the guise of protest, and those that do this will be investigated and brought before the courts to answer for this crime.'

In October, Bonehill-Paine was charged over two articles posted on far-right websites, including one promoting eugenics - the practice of killing people whose DNA is seen as inferior.

Bonehill-Paine, who calls himself a 'proud anti-Semite', said that the UK should adopt the practices of Sparta in ancient Greece, where physically imperfect babies were abandoned on a hillside.

He accompanied the story, on a site describing itself as 'Britain's number one nationalist newspaper' with a picture of a Tesco worker with Downs Syndrome.

He was also charged over another article in which he claimed food sold by Tesco contained the deadly Ebola virus.

The articles - posted on two separate websites - resulted in charges of misusing a public computer network to propagate grossly offensive, indecent, obscene or menacing material.
