Simon Sheppard (activist)

Simon Guy Sheppard (born 1957) is a British political activist from Hull, England, who runs a number of websites promoting his far right and racist views; his main website contains many articles about women, the multiracial society and Jews, stating that these have negative effects upon Western society and for white males in particular.

He has been prosecuted three, and imprisoned four times for his views: in the Netherlands for Holocaust denial in 1995, in the UK for inciting racial hatred in 1999 and 2000 for a British National Party (BNP) election leaflet, and again in the UK between 2008 and 2011 for publishing material on the Internet that was in breach of racial hatred legislation, after having been subject to a number of raids by police. He was released on licence after serving less than half his sentence to a bail hostel on 17 May 2011 and was banned from accessing the Internet. He was rearrested in January 2013 for breach of his licence conditions and incarcerated at HM Prison Preston.
