A British judge today called a 37-year-old “cunning and manipulative neo-Nazi with terrorist motives”, imprisoning him for inciting hatred for blaming Jewish bankers for what he called “coronavirus fraud”.
Matthew Henegan had been posting anti-Semitic content online since the coronavirus pandemic first hit Britain in March 2020.
He repeatedly used offensive terms against Jews and spread conspiracy theories about them, saying that they “check the news and lie about Covid-19.
In one of the documents posted online by him, Hennegan said the terrorist attack in London on the bridge London Bridge, where two people lost their lives in November 2012, was staged by the “propaganda machine”.
But Henegan came to the attention of the police only when people in his town started to find under the door leaflets with anti-Semitic content and with Henegan’s content addresses online, the court was told.
Among his claims was that “Prime Minister Boris Johnson was a Jew who pretended to be English.”
During a search of his home, police found many leaflets and symbols of Nazi or extremist ideas.
Hennegan was not present in court but said he did not intend to spread hatred. Regarding Nazi symbols he said he was interested in Germany and World War II and did not believe that Hitler started the war, or that he killed 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.
Judge Nigel Lickley told QC: “You have created racist material and incitement to hatred against the Jewish religion.”
Hennegan was jailed for eight years and one month.
