A 22-year-old hospice worker behind plans for an anti-Semitic demonstration in Golders Green on Saturday has been remanded in custody after appearing in court charged with inciting racial hatred.

Joshua Bonehill-Paine, who works as a Marie Curie Hospice volunteer, pleaded not guilty to a charge of inciting racial hatred at Westminster Magistrates’ Court today.

Bonehill-Paine, of Yeovil, Somerset, was remanded in custody and will appear again at Southwark Crown Court on July 13.

He was arrested on Thursday last week in a joint operation between the Metropolitan Police and Avon and Somerset Police.
