A RACIST who suggested Britain should introduce "bomb a mosque day" has admitted stirring up religious hatred online.

Nigel Pelham also wrote a post on Facebook which invited people to "put a Muslim on top of a bonfire."

The unemployed 49-year-old pleaded guilty to eight counts of publishing threatening written material intending to stir up religious hatred between February 24, 2015 and November 16, 2015, at Lewes Crown Court yesterday.

Pelham, of Freehold Street, Shoreham, previously denied the actions when he appeared before magistrates in Worthing last month.

He was arrested on March 30 last year after being reported to the police on March 21.

He was released on bail until he is sentenced on April 4.
