A man accused of inciting racial hatred is to go on trial today.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine is charged with publishing or distributing written material intended to incite racial hatred.

The charges are linked to alleged antisemitic material.

The 22-year-old, of Yeovil, Somerset, was arrested in June.

His trial will open on Monday afternoon at Southwark Crown Court in central London.

He was charged ahead of a planned neo-Nazi rally which he had been involved in organising. The July demonstration was eventually moved from Golders Green to opposite Downing Street.

Mr Bonehill-Paine also arranged a demonstration in Stamford Hill, north London, in March.
