Earlier today Kristopher Kearney (better known online as Charlie Big Potatoes) pleaded guilty to recklessness at the Old Bailey in relation to sharing a number of documents deemed as illegal.
Firstly, it is important to make clear what has actually taken place here. Kristopher shared a link to a page on Telegram which contained a library of over 10,000 books. Among those books, which included novels, health and fitness advice, gardening tips and historical texts, were a number of items that are banned by the UK Government, including a number of manifestos linked to individuals who carried out unconscionable acts. It is also important to note, that the banned items made up less than one per cent of the total items in the library.
Secondly, Kristopher maintains that he shared the link in good faith without full knowledge of what was present in the library. However, he concedes that his actions were reckless and as such he has pleaded guilty with a view to a reduced sentence.
Finally, Kristopher was living in Spain when the offence took place, and the actions were not committed on British soil, nor were they deemed illegal in Spain.
Kristopher also has a young family and his partner gave birth to his fourth child shortly before he was arrested and remanded in custody. He has now spent over twelve months in custody, missing the majority of his young child’s life. As such we understand why he is eager to bring these legal proceedings to a close and be reunited with his family.
We also understand the severity of the charges, however we must stress that the link that Kristopher shared was done so on his own private page, it was never shared to a Patriotic Alternative page and it was not shared in any official capacity. We completely disavow any form of violence and/or terrorism and are completely committed to peaceful democratic change through our community building programme.
This case should serve as a warning to all those using any online platform or social network as to the dangers of doing so under new government ‘anti-terror’ legislation. By sharing links online from sources that you cannot trust or are unsure of, you may well be putting yourself and others at risk.
We urge all those within the nationalist community to exercise caution when interacting online, and remind all those associated with Patriotic Alternative that we have a code of conduct which forbids the use of racial slurs or advocacy of undemocratic means of achieving political change.
We also hope that this case will now be swiftly concluded and that Kristopher and his family will be reunited as soon as possible.
