Jack Nicholls, 33, was charged last night (October 1) and is set to appear at Bristol Magistrates' Court today.

He is the 43rd individual to be charged over the far-right action on August 3, during which violent clashes erupted in the Castle Park area. So far, 52 people have been arrested in connection with the incident, which has seen multiple people charged or remanded in custody.
