Sussex Police has confirmed that 90-year-old Paul Pawlowski has been
convicted for displaying a placard including the words: “Pull the chain, flush
the Jew mafia down the drain” on the Old Steine, Brighton at 12.20 on 28th May.
When confronted, Mr Pawlowski, a Burgess Hill resident, told officers that if they
took his antisemitic placard and leaflets, he would walk up and down North
Street and shout his views, which included other antisemitic messages.
On Tuesday, Brighton Magistrates’ Court fined him £100, which was
increased to £150 because of the antisemitic nature of his crime, and also
ordered him to pay costs of £100 and a victim surcharge of £85.
