Man 'on hate speech top 10 list'
The Herald
|March 18, 2025
A MAN from Plymouth who stirred up racial hatred and bragged about being “on the hate speech top 10 list” has avoided prison time.
Dean Podesta, 35, previously admitted one count of inciting racial hatred and another of inciting hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation and handed a suspended sentence.
Podesta, of Teats Hill Flats, Coxside, was arrested in July 2022 after an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing South West (CTPSW) in collaboration with Devon and Cornwall Police. Members of the public reported his online activity to police on a number of occasions.
Over the course of six months in 2022, Podesta posted threatening, abusive and insulting content online more than 330 times. The posts, described by police as “abhorrent”, had a negative impact on a wide group of people. Podesta bragged about being “on the hate speech top 10 list” and claimed he wanted to make the number one position.

Older drivers tend to be the safest on the road
REGARDING recent newspaper reports about compulsory eye tests for the over-70s, as we have to renew our licences every three years anyway, I really cannot see that this will be a problem for most people of that age.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
Although I am well aware that social media is largely an echo chamber that will feed back to you what you search for, there are no shortage of videos and articles about fashionable dressing for men, while vintage clothing is no longer merely bagged up and donated to charity shops but can yield high prices on re-sale sites such as eBay and Vinted.
