A white supremacist who said Adolf Hitler was 'God', posed with a rifle in front of a Nazi flag and had a huge swastika tattooed on his chest has been jailed for five years today.

'Racist, homophobe and religious bigot' Sean Creighton, 45, worshipped the German fascist leader and posted an image of Hitler with the message 'kill the Muslims' online, Kingston Crown Court heard.

The other tattoo on his chest next to his swastika is a Celtic cross with the number 1488 - the 14 refers to ‘the 14 words’ the Ku Klux Klan live by: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children’.

The 88 is code for ‘Heil Hitler’ because H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.

Today he admitted a terrorism offence linked to a series of explosives 'recipes' on his laptop and instructions on 'how to kill someone with a knife'.

He also pleaded guilty to six counts of publishing or distributing written material likely to stir up hatred, which included putting up racist stickers and posters near his house and hundreds of 'repugnant' social media messages.

One said: 'You will never catch me shedding a tear for a n****r, Jew, commie or queer.'

The extremist used Russian social network VK because it allowed him to 'post what he liked' after Facebook, which he called 'Jewbook,' blocked him more than 300 times, the court heard.

He even put Combat 18-branded stickers with the words 'sink the refugee boats' on to a road sign near his home.

Jailing him Judge Peter Lodder QC, told him: 'The repugnant and despicable opinions you have expressed and the material you have gathered have no place in a civilised and democratic society.

'You are a racist, a homophobe and a religious bigot. You are a blind devotee of Adolf Hitler and an active supporter of extremist groups including National Action, Blood and Honour, Combat 18 and the Aryan Terror Brigades and a member of the National Front.

'For 18 months up to June 2016, you used VK to spread your messages of hatred to any group that did not conform with your own narrow bigoted beliefs.

'Your 692 friends followed your profile and viewed your postings. They show a range of racial, religious and homophobic material.

'Your intention was to incite and reinforce extremist views with similar views.

'On June 29 2016, police searched your home. They found two National Front flags, two Blood and Honour flags and a National Front membership card.

'They also found stickers with the Combat 18 death's head logo which read 'sink the refugee boats,' which you had placed prominently in your area.'

Judge Lodder also noted that the White Resistance Manual's express intention was to 'exacerbate existing racial tensions' and 'punish those whites who have committed treasonous acts against their own people.'

Creighton, a father-of-three who lived with his parents in Enfield, north London and spend hours alone in his bedroom following fascist sites and posting hate filled messages.

Jonathan Sandiford, prosecuting, said: 'He is a member of the National Front, he was enthralled by Nazism and Adolf Hitler and described him as his god.'

Online profiles showed links to various groups including National Action, Combat 18, Blood and Honour, the Aryan Strike Force and the Aryan Terror Brigades.

Creighton used two VK profiles: one in his own name and one called Odin's Wolf to 'manifest those beliefs and target races, religions and persons of a different sexual orientation.'

His VK profile also gave his mobile number as '1488.' The 14 refers to David Lane's infamous 14-word affirmation of white supremacy: 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.' The 88 corresponds to 'Heil Hitler', H being the eighth letter of the alphabet.

The 'White Resistance Manual was found on his Acer laptop when he was arrested on 16 June, contained 'viable recipes' for making explosives.

The manual also gave advice on 'how to kill someone with a knife, either by severing arteries in the neck or kidney area to cause maximum damage.'

One image posted by Creighton on 29 January 2016 showed 'a number of trees, from each of which is hung one or more Jewish people with the word 'Jew' placed upon them by way of a sign.'

It also featured a cartoon image of Hitler and another man dressed in Bavarian clothes, 'cheerfully singing,' Mr Sandiford said.

Another post on 3 June 2016 showed the caption 'no more f**king mosques' superimposed over the cross of St George and the death's head insignia of Combat 18.

A photo posted on VK, not relating to any of the charges, showed Creighton posing bare-chested in front of Combat 18 death's head flag. It showed his large swastika tattoo on his left breast and a Celtic cross with 1488 in the middle on his right breast.

Whilst on bail, Creighton made posts on social media calling the police 'Mickey Mouse' as they had failed to find his firearm.

When his home was searched, boxes of racist stickers were found and he told police he had been pasting up National Front posters in an alleyway close to his house.

In interview, Creighton told police he attended his first National Front demo when he was 16.

He also expressed admiration for British Union of Fascists leader Oswald Mosley and Conservative MP Enoch Powell, known for his notorious 1968 'Rivers of Blood' speech.

Creighton said: 'The only people I've had round to talk to are the nationalists. The more I've been around them, the more hatred I've had in me.'

Katy Thorne, representing Creighton, said he was 'ashamed' of his 'mindless repostings' which were the result of 'his isolation and his retreat from society.

'He is spending all this time effectively locked in his bedroom on the internet.

'He admitted his views are odious and horrific to the vast majority of society.'

Ms Thorne said: 'One of his offspring is mixed-race. Various parts of his life are challenging his preconceptions.'

She said he 'seems to be malleable and it might be possible for him to get his way out of this way of thinking with some help.'

Ms Thorne added Creighton expressed a desire in interview to remove his racist tattoos and had expressed 'heartfelt condemnation' of Batley and Spen MP Jo Cox's murder last June.

Creighton, of Enfield, north London, admitted six counts of publishing or distributing written material likely to stir up hatred, one count of possession of racially inflammatory material and one count of collection of information likely to be useful to a person committing an act of terrorism.

He was sentenced to five years in prison and made subject to a notification order for 15 years.

Judge Lodder also ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the offensive material and Creighton's laptop.

Sue Hemming, of the CPS, said: 'Sean Creighton's crimes are indicative of a man who thought that his online anonymity meant that he could get away with stirring up hatred of all kinds.

'Those who seek to stir up hatred between communities, particularly where that hatred is combined with dangerous terrorist ideologies, should understand they will be prosecuted.'

Commander Dean Haydon, of the Counter Terrorism Command, said: 'We are as committed to apprehending and prosecuting far right extremists who commit terrorist offences and promote hatred as we are those who support and promote ISIS. Both are intent on destroying communities and pose a real risk if they are allowed to continue.'
