Ex-soldier jailed for anti-Islam Facebook posts
A former soldier who posted a series of anti-Islamic messages on Facebook has been jailed.
Daffron Williams, 41, of Tonypandy, Rhondda Cynon Taf, wrote: “Civil war is here. The only thing missing is bullets, that’s the next step.”
Cardiff Crown Court was told the Iraq and Afghanistan veteran, who has PTSD, sent the messages before and after three girls were stabbed to death at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport in July, sparking riots.
Williams, who pleaded guilty to stirring up racial hatred, was sentenced to two years, half of which will be spent in prison, with the other half on licence.
