Karl McCartney apparently endorsed the comment which said the Government had 'made it illegal' to expose Asian grooming gangs after Robinson was jailed for contempt of court. The revelations come five years after Mr McCartney claimed his account had been hacked after it was revealed his favourite pics included bondage images. His social media activity was uncovered by campaign group Hope Not Hate whose chief executive Nick Lowles said Mr McCartney should be sacked.
