Mark Meechan, 31, achieved notoriety after he posted a video on YouTube of his girlfriend’s pug lifting a paw when he said “gas the Jews” or “Sieg Heil”

A Ukip candidate who prompted a global debate about freedom of speech has been kicked off an online chat platform after he used a racial slur and likened black people to thieves.

Mark Meechan, 31, achieved notoriety after he posted a video on YouTube of his girlfriend’s pug lifting a paw when he said “gas the Jews” or “Sieg Heil”.

Now the blogger, who posts as Count Dankula, has had his account on Discord shut down after he posted a racist meme and used the N-word.

Meechan used his account to post a picture of Indiana Jones, the fictional treasure hunter played by Harrison Ford, staring covetously at a golden artefact. It was accompanied by the message: “Black people. Anything that doesn’t belong to them.”
