A neo-Nazi propagandist who called for gay people and Jews to be exterminated has been jailed for four years.

The 23-year-0ld was a key figure in the online neo-Nazi movement, tied with the now-banned terrorist organisation Feuerkrieg Division (FKD).
According to the UK’s Counter Terrorism Policing Network, Hunter was “persistent and prolific in his efforts to promote right-wing terrorism, utilising a variety of platforms and accounts to spread his hateful ideology and encourage others to do the same”.
