An internet troll accused of sending an antisemitic message to Labour MP Luciana Berger has been sentenced to four weeks in prison at Merseyside magistrates court.
Garron Helm, 21, from Litherland, north of Liverpool, tweeted a picture of the MP with a Holocaust yellow star superimposed on her forehead, with the hashtag ?Hitler was right?. The tweet, which referred to Berger as a ??communist jewess?, read: ?You can always trust a Jew to show their true colours eventually.?
Helm send the tweet in the early hours of the morning on 7 August and claimed to have sent it in a state of anger and frustration. He pleaded guilty to sending an offensive, indecent or obscene message.
Berger, the MP for Liverpool Wavertree, said she hoped the jail term would deter would-be trolls. ?This sentence sends a clear message that hate crime is not tolerated in our country,? she said. ?I hope this case serves as an encouragement to others to report hate crime whenever it rears its ugly head.?
