Standing for public office, especially for a right leaning party, is not the sort of thing a self proclaimed ex-neo nazi should be doing to atone. Any more than we should uncritically accept a reformed domestic abuser applying to work in a women's refuge.

- We believe in second chances! - So you think refugees deserve a second chance at making a life? - Not like that - Young people who’ve made mistakes shouldn’t be punished? - Nope - Benefits to help people get back on their feet? - Ha! - So who do you believe in second chances for? - Nazis!

That people feel emboldened to direct such racist language at anyone, let alone people like you offering them their care, is a damning indictment of how far-right rhetoric has poisoned public life. To anyone who abuses NHS staff: you will be caught, and you will face the full force of the law.
