"Two men have been jailed after becoming the first in the UK to be convicted of inciting racial hatred online.
Simon Sheppard, 51, of Selby in North Yorkshire, received four years and 10 months, and Stephen Whittle, 42, of Preston, two years and four months.
The men printed leaflets and controlled websites featuring racist material."
