1 / 4

A suspended Reform UK councillor has been convicted after posting a violent, dehumanising message about Nigerians on Facebook. Glenn Gibbins, 66, told South Tyneside magistrates’ court that he intended it as a joke and did not mean it literally. The judge found him guilty of malicious communication and said the post was not a genuine expression of political views. Gibbins was sentenced to a 12-month community order and 150 hours of unpaid work. His legal team said he plans to appeal to the Crown Court.
