'Charlie Big Potatoes' claimed Hitler 'did nothing wrong,' court told

An alleged far-right fitness guru who distributed terrorist manifestos and claimed Adolf Hitler "did nothing wrong" told a court he does not believe in violence.

Kristofer Thomas Kearney used the name Charlie Big Potatoes on Telegram when he shared the manifesto of Norway killer Anders Breivik, but said he did not know it was among the library of literature he posted as he "just gave it a quick scan". A judge will determine whether posts shared by Kearney were "reckless" or if the evidence is consistent with an intent to encourage terrorism.

The self-described British fascist is part of the right-wing group known as Patriotic Alternative. He added the main aim of the organisation was "not to become minorities in our own home".
