Where is the edvidence that this happened? Any RELIABLE sources? Its what im always asked for when i post on here...

Have you ever heard of the sociology term "conflict theory", refering to a society?
write an article on it.

'Where is the edvidence that this happened?'

What, you mean apart from being reported on the Colne Times, This is Lancashire and the Pendle News sites, and their being remanded to appear at Burnley Crown Court? Seems enough to me.

Regarding the appearance in court, of ‘ex-BNP member’ Robert Cottage on explosives charges relating to the discovery of bomb-making chemicals, rocket launchers and an NBC suit, it now appears that he may be an actual member of the party.

Cottage stood as a BNP candidate in the local elections in Colne in May 2006, and must therefore have been a member of the BNP at that time. According to the BNP’s own website.


Membership is for the 12 months of the calendar year - January to December but those signing up from Oct 1st through to Dec 31st qualify for the following year’s card.

…in which case his membership of the BNP does not ‘lapse’ until 31 December 2006.

The suggestion that his membership had ‘lapsed’ before his arrest appears to have originated from comment given to the Burnley Citizen by Nelson BNP councillor Brian Parkinson, who said:


"I am very shocked and surprised to hear this. I am glad to hear that he is no longer a member of our party because the BNP wouldn’t want to be associated with this incident. It certainly wouldn’t condone the sort of thing he is allegedly being connected with."

Of course, under the BNP’s constitution, Mr Cottage could have been summarily expelled from the party by edict of Nick Griffin following his arrest, but otherwise there would appear to be no other means by which he could have stood as a candidate for the BNP in May of this year and yet have had his membership ‘lapse’ before being arrested last week, which makes Brian Parkinson look like a dickhead who doesn’t understand his own party’s rulebook.

and from Stormfront:

"if he stood for election last May, how is he an ex-member? Nothing about resignation, just that his 'membership expired'. That doesn't happen until December, and last year NG said that all candidates would have to be full members, and vetted, and went into one about how 'even lapsed members and non-members' had stood for election under JT."

So everybody seems to claim he is a BNP member except for the BNP. Perhaps the BNP have a 'special' class of member. Who obtains special privileges. Who knows how they finance all those chemistry classes. As Bob Woodward says - follow the paper trail.

Nice job there, a concerned reader. We've put an edited version up on the blog for our readers who don't find their way over to Indymedia (and of course, we've put a link to this thread). Thanks for the info. LUAF

perhaps people set up to get used in the "strategy of tension scam we seem to exist in ( reference BOLOGNA BOMBINGS, 70s, Gladio, etc - but suspect criminal-sting rather than secret state set up )
wasnt a "bnp" bloke set up to go around painting "whites out" over walls in his region - then caught doing it, then charged, a couple of years ago ????
people are sceptical about the brixton/soho bombs bloke too - mesmerising info-war - seems doubtful - what DID make him do it ????
last, most,
OF COURSE you remember that courtcase in South Africa a few years back, when a few ex-intel people seemed to have come up with a weird plot - that they could have achieved - at least to initiate ( experience, access to gear, etc, etc ) - to engineer a coup by terrorist acts, some that were aimed at white, National celebrities - even from the very extremes of that bit of the spectrum . . . .
". . . . but - that sort of thing doesnt happen" HMMMM .
YES IT DOES.

people that work with mechanical diggers are often the people that take entire cashpoints from walls . . . . people that get trained up as "covert action" types . . . .
