Daffron Thomas Williams also appeared in court, and pleaded guilty to distributing written material with intent to stir up racial hatred. The court heard the charge related to a number of posts he had made on Facebook, with one suggesting that the individual charged with murdering three young girls in Southport was a Muslim and an immigrant. The 17-year-old boy who has been charged was born in Cardiff, police have said. In another post, Williams wrote that “civil war is the next step” and that “they want us to [become] Islamic". A further post included the words “God Bless Tommy Robinson”, a reference to the founder of the now defunct far-right organisation the English Defence League. Williams’ solicitor said her client had been “extremely troubled” by the recent social disorder and had taken responsibility for his actions. She also said the defendant suffered with post-traumatic stress disorder after serving in the army.
