A convicted racist who suggested a regional daily’s offices should be bombed has pleaded guilty to flouting a court order.

Darren Fletcher, pictured left, was previously given the order after posting a video of himself on YouTube, dressed in a Ku Klux Klan costume and carrying out a mock hanging of a life-sized golliwog doll.

Wolverhampton magistrates heard how Fletcher, 25, took the opportunity to vent his frustration at his earlier conviction on a Facebook page, attracting posts from extreme right wing sympathisers.

The court heard that he used racist and inflammatory wording and suggested the city’s Express & Star title, which had covered the case, “needs bombing”.

Fletcher, who has previously gone by the names Christopher Philips and Darren Clifft, had been given a year-long jail term in January 2014 for posting three videos online intending to stir racial hatred.

He had also been banned from a church and thrown out of the far-right National Front party for his views.

Fletcher, of Wednesfield, has now been bailed until 11 March for sentencing at Wolverhampton Crown Court.

Det Sgt Paul Beattie, from the West Midlands Counter Terrorism Unit, said: “Fletcher used anti-semitic and racist comments on a Facebook page which we managed to capture and use in evidence; he had blatantly flouted the conditions of his order.

“We understand how offensive and distressing this type of material can be and we have worked with the Crown Prosecution Service to again bring Fletcher before the courts.”
