Ex neo-Nazi kandidat zieht Rückzieher
A former neo-Nazi activist withdrew his candidacy for a Somerset council election after widespread backlash over his past racist and antisemitic behavior. Joshua Bonehill-Paine, previously convicted of racially harassing a former Labour MP and sharing antisemitic posts, was initially selected by the Conservative Party to stand for election. Despite party leader Kemi Badenoch’s support, Bonehill-Paine stepped down amid criticism from Jewish groups and political figures, who questioned his suitability and past conduct. He was also offered an unpaid role as an anti-extremism adviser to the party, which he accepted before resigning from the candidate position.
