EDL Activist In Custody On Burglary Charges

An activist for the far-right English Defence League (EDL) who stood in the recent Rotherham by-election has been remanded in jail on burglary charges.

Clint Bristow, came last in the 29 November by-election with just 29 votes. A little over two weeks later, on 16 December, the 39-year-old was charged by Humberside police with burglary. After being refused bail, he was remanded in custody and spent Christmas in jail.

He is accused of trespassing on private property and stealing toiletries, money and a mobile phone then making threats of violence. The alleged burglary took place in the coastal village of Bempton, near Bridlington.

Bristow was refused bail at Bridlington magistrates court and the case has been transferred to Hull crown court.

Some people may question whether the EDL had anything to do with this man. They did, and here is a leaflet that was promoted for his by-election.
