CPS lawyer was rebuked for sharing Britain First posts calling for Nelson Mandela’s statue to be torn down
Lawyers have called for closer monitoring of crown prosecutors’ media accounts after one of them was rebuked for sharing Britain First posts on Facebook.
Kim Kendall, a senior lawyer at the Yorkshire and Humberside CPS, based in the organisation’s Hull office, shared a petition from the far-right group Britain First calling for the statue of Nelson Mandela to be torn down. It accuses Mandela of being “a communist and terrorist mass murderer” who should be “consigned to the dustbin of history”.
