World · Man who harassed MP for being 'English' and took axe to pub given suspended sentence

A man who harassed Labour MP Henry Tufnell for being English and carried an axe to a pub has been given a suspended prison sentence. Michael Glover, 59, left a note at the MP's office in Haverfordwest claiming he knew where Tufnell lived with his wife and newborn baby, and the following day brandished an axe in a local pub. Swansea Crown Court heard the defendant had 'complex mental health difficulties' and was frustrated over a delay in his blue badge application.
