The 36-year-old is charged with three counts of publishing written material intended to stir up hatred and one count of using threatening, abusive, insulting words or behaviour.

The charges are linked to literature promoting a Britain First anti-immigration rally planned for Ballymena this Saturday.

Golding was arrested on Wednesday.

He is due to appear at Ballymena Magistrates' Court on November 15.
