A British man who posted far-right videos that influenced the gunman behind a US mass shooting has been given an 11-and-a-half-year sentence.

Judge Patrick Field KC, sentencing, said Harris "created a series of videos" where he "glorified mass murderers" and "encouraged other people to emulate them" having "provided specific instructions".
At the sentencing hearing on Friday, the court also heard Harris was producing his videos after he had been sentenced for defacing a memorial in Manchester of George Floyd, who wasJudge Field said the defendant had portrayed the incident as "no more than a blip" and told "a series of lies". "While efforts were made to support him - with a referral to establish if he had been groomed, and attempts to engage with him through the Prevent programme - the extent of his views and intentions were exposed through his continued efforts to post and create online content of an extreme nature throughout.
