Two London men who spread hateful and extreme views on a podcast have been sentenced to prison. They advocated harm towards Prince Harry and his biracial son in one of the episodes, according to AP News.
Christopher Gibbons and Tyrone Patten-Walsh expressed discriminatory views on their "Lone Wolf Radio" podcast, which had 128 subscribers and 21 episodes. They encouraged violence against various ethnic groups. The pair glorified right-wing extremists responsible for mass murders in Norway, New Zealand, and South Carolina, sharing images of a Nazi executing a Jewish man and showing Nelson Mandela being lynched.

They specifically targeted Prince Harry's family, with derogatory remarks about his son Archie, who is now 4, calling him a “creature” that “should be put down.”
Gibbons, 40, received an eight-year prison sentence, while Patten-Walsh, 34, was sentenced to seven years. Both will be on probation for three years after their release. The judge emphasized their desire for a world dominated by white people and condemned their distorted thinking that blamed various groups for perceived loss of influence.
“The evidence demonstrates that you desire to live in a world dominated by white people purely for white people. Your distorted thinking is that the white race has ceded too much influence to Blacks and Asians, to Jews and Muslims, to gays, to white liberals and to white people in mixed-race relationships,” Judge Peter Lodder said.
The duo was convicted on eight counts of encouraging terrorism. Gibbons, additionally, was found guilty of disseminating terrorist documents through his online neo-Nazi "radicalization" library.
