Graphic Nazi and Ku Klux Klan images were found in the bedroom of a man who was surrounded by extreme-right trappings from the moment he woke up to the moment he went to bed.

His boxer shorts and shirts even had Nazi emblems and the material found by police included swastikas, a red flag and references to Adolf Hitler, a court heard.

His house was "stuffed full" with racist material, including about the National Front, Jews and Muslims as well as the SS and the Third Reich and he had helped put up racist stickers around Grimsby, it was claimed.

Nathan Worrell, 46, of Scott Close, Willows estate, Grimsby, denies six offences of possessing, publishing or distributing material to stir up racial hatred and five of stirring up racial hatred between 2017 and May last year.

The material includes images of Refugees Not Welcome, White Pride Combat 18 in the Area, Diversity is White Genocide and Multiculturalism is Genocide.

Simon Davis, prosecuting, told Grimsby Crown Court that police searched Worrell's home and found material which showed "what makes him tick".

Worrell woke up to face Nazi swastikas on his bedside table and a red flag with a Nazi swastika on his wardrobe.

There were symbols of White Pride as well as the Third Reich and Adolf Hitler with the message "No more Mr Nice Guy".

There was a Ku Klux Klan sticker with the slogan "The KKK wants you" and even his shirts and boxer shorts had Nazi emblems.

There were also arm bands, coasters and CDs with music containing extreme right themes.

"Neo-Nazism is plainly a lifestyle choice for this defendant," claimed Mr Davis.

"His mind is clearly set in that direction.

"From the time he gets up in the morning to the time he goes to bed, he is surrounded by images of Hitler, the SS, the Third Reich and all the trappings of Neo-Nazism.

"He sees the SS all around him all day long."

The material was threatening, abusive or threatening to stir up racial hatred, it was claimed.

Stickers were put up on Corporation Bridge, People's Park, Freeman Street, Aylesby Road, Grasby Crescent, Fisherman's Wharf, St Nicholas Drive and Station Road, Grimsby.

"It's plainly directed at immigrants and is insulting," claimed Mr Davis.

Worrell had texted another man about a National Front march in Grimsby and had told him that he would post stickers to him.

There were references to Heil Hitler and he had a template for images on his computer.

The message seemed to be that people who were not white or who were from different cultures were responsible for the extermination of the white race.

There were 86 stickers and 43 leaflets with racist material about Jews and Muslims.

There were words from Hitler's book Mein Kampf and skull and cross bones images on fridge magnets as well as an ink stamp with the message Multiculturalism is Genocide.

Internet searches by Worrell for stickers included for the Ku Klux Klan and one had the message "It's not illegal to be white yet".

He also searched for jokes about black people and "the best way to glue up posters".

During police interview, he claimed that the ink stamp was a novelty item and had never been used on literature.

The trial continues.
