Daffron Williams, a former soldier with PTSD, jailed for inflammatory posts following Southport stabbings.

Daffron Williams, 41, from Rhondda Cynon Taf, was sentenced to two years in prison for Facebook posts inciting racial hatred.
The posts were made before and after the fatal stabbing of three girls in Southport, which led to significant public disorder.
Williams, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, cited his PTSD as a factor influencing his actions.
He pleaded guilty to the charges and expressed regret for his posts, which included references to civil war and praise for Tommy Robinson.
