Police are investigating reports the leader of far-right group Britain First was beaten up in prison – exactly a week after he was jailed for hate crimes.
Paul Golding, 36, was allegedly attacked by two inmates at HMP Elmley, on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, according to sources.
The 36-year-old has now been separated from other inmates at the category C prison by being moved to another unit, PA understands.
Golding was found guilty on 7 March at Folkestone Magistrates’ Court of religiously-aggravated harassment alongside deputy leader Jayda Fransen which they carried out in Kent in May last year.
