He is also accused of posting a YouTube video entitled “I hope all NHS die” and recording himself threatening health workers, saying: “I hope the staff die of coronavirus.”

Wain, of Perry Barr in Birmingham, was arrested on April 1 and charged with sending menacing or offensive communications.

Yesterday he turned up to Birmingham Magistrates’ Court wearing a face mask and a baseball cap with the word ‘Obey’ written on it.

He was refused entry to the building by court staff after he claimed to be suffering from coronavirus.

The hearing was adjourned until June 10.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
