Podcaster who talked about 'ethnic purity' denies inciting racial violence

A podcaster who talked and wrote about "ethnic purity", an "invasion" of immigrants and a "race war" has denied he was trying to incite racial violence with his words.

James Allchurch from Pembrokeshire is charged with 15 counts of distributing audio material to stir up racial hatred via his Radio Ayran podcast and website. The 51-year-old denies the charges, and is on trial at Swansea Crown Court.

On Monday the defendant told the jury he was "absolutely not" trying to incite racial violence, but was trying to raise awareness of the issues and he said his use of words was literary and allegorical.
