Nick Griffin, 66, may stand trial in May 2027 over a 2021 X post depicting a spider with a Star of David, accused of inciting racial hatred.
Nick Griffin, 66, former leader of the British National Party, may face trial in May 2027 over allegations he incited racial hatred by posting a cartoon on X (formerly Twitter) in 2021 depicting a giant spider with a Star of David.
Prosecutors, representing the Campaign Against Antisemitism, allege the image was threatening and abusive, violating UK laws against incitement to racial hatred.
The case, privately prosecuted, involves two counts, and Griffin’s defense has filed a motion to dismiss, to be heard in April 2026.
A provisional trial date is set for May 11, 2027.
The case highlights legal scrutiny of online speech, especially by public figures, and the boundaries of hate speech laws in the digital age.
