The UK Conservatives are defending their decision to select Joshua Bonehill-Paine, a former neo-Nazi convicted of hate crimes, as a candidate for a local election in Somerset. Party officials, including Kemi Badenoch, stated that Bonehill-Paine has shown remorse, disavowed his past views, and is now rehabilitated.
