Update

Just had an update from Sunny at Pickled Politics that the case has been postponed until tomorrow and Jackson has been let off. Only Robert Cottage, the BNP guy, is in court tomorrow.

Watch that media.

Not totally true

The lack of mainstream national media coverage of this case has been downright weird.

But it's innaccurate to say there hasn't been mentioned at all. It was covered by The Sunday Times, the Evening Standard and The Guardian (though the latter was a piece pointing out the general lack of coverage).

"I'm surprised that this hasn't been a nationwide story, trumpeted from the front page of every rag. It may well come out during the trial, but I wouldn't put any money on it.
I don't know why, I have no idea or theory at all, but the media seems to have gone BNP-shy recently. It's only a few months since we had a BNP member here on the south coast (and a bloody good bloke too) sent down for five years for a campaign of arson, assaults and such-like of local Asians, and including the theft of 'firearms' (in fact, a clip of bullets) from the local TA barracks, where he was a member, plus another ex-BNP man done for supplying him with directions on making bombs and other 'explosive substances' (detonators and such like). It was only a minor story, even in sleepy Eastbourne in the local papers!
It seems as if the media simply doesn't want to link the BNP with failed or rather low-level (and pathetic) 'terrorist' cases."
