Jailed:Jeremy Bedford-Turner

A “NEONAZI” former soldier was today jailed for a year for stirring up racial hatred with an anti-semitic rant outside Downing Street.

Jeremy Bedford-Turner, 48, called for his “soldiers” to “free England from Jewish control” during a 15-minute hate speech in Whitehall in July 2015.

During a rally against Jewish community group Shomrim, Mr Bedford-Turner claimed that Jews were responsible for both world wars, Jack the Ripper and the Kray twins.
