Your support makes all the difference.The mother of the former world heavyweight boxing champion Frank Bruno was forced to move home after a "frightening and upsetting" race- hate campaign against her, a court was told yesterday.
Lynette Bruno said she was threatened with death and received abusive phone calls after her telephone number and address were printed in a Nazi magazine. Now, more than a year after her ordeal began, she was still unable to sleep properly and was too scared to go home alone at night, she said in a statement read to Southwark Crown Court, in London.
In the dock is Robin Gray, 35, a lorry driver from Feltham, Middlesex, who denies two counts of possessing "threatening, abusive and insulting" racially inflammatory material with a view to distributing it. The charges relate to copies of Stormer magazine, which is published by far-right group Combat 18. The case continues.
