Far-right chief trial

THE deputy leader of far-right group Britain First faces a spring trial in Belfast over remarks made at an anti-terrorism rally in the city last summer.

Jayda Fransen, 31, appeared at Belfast Magistrates’ Court on two hate charges relating to a speech she made in August.

She faces four unrelated charges after alleged threatening behaviour concerning remarks made on December 13 beside a peace wall dividing Catholics from Protestants in Belfast. MEGHAN Markle wowed Brixton when Prince Harry brought his bride-to-be to the heart of London’s Caribbean community for their first official visit in the capital.

Ms Markle chatted, joked and even hugged young presenters from a youth radio station the couple visited to learn more about the work of the not-for-profit broadcaster that trains the presenters, producers and station managers of tomorrow.

And Harry, the selfconfessed joker of the royal family, even exchanged an extravagant fist bump with one of the DJs, after a little coaching in how to perform the greeting.

Crowds had gathered outside the studios of Reprezent FM and they cheered and screamed when they were acknowledged by the couple who held hands when they first arrived, and later waited in freezing conditions after the 45-minute visit overran by almost half an hour.
