Active Halifax BNP/Combat18 Organiser Sent Swastika Death Threats

Hitler's Bunker Buster | 06.01.2007 23:52 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles

A Halifax BNP organiser has been exposed as a Combat18 man, and he sent people evil death theats with swasticas and SS regalia. So far, Nick Griffin has been silent over the issue.

So much for the BNP not being Nazis, and not running Combat18.

Muslim blood will be spilt, he wrote.

VILE posters that bore racist abuse and threatened to spill Muslim blood were sent through the post by a Halifax British National Party activist.
Brian Darren Wainwright, 38, fired off his hate-filled mail to a mosque, Calderdale's first Asian councillor and an anti-racist campaigner.

In court yesterday, he admitted sending letters with indecent, offensive and threatening messages. Sentencing was adjourned. Calderdale magistrates heard that last February Wainwright sent a poster bearing a skull, crossbones, an SS symbol, a swastika and the words "white pride" to anti-racism campaigner Paul Sutcliffe.

The poster showed Mr Sutcliffe, a member of Halifax-based anti-fascist group Unity, with the words "Halifax C18 to visit" – referring to the Halifax wing of racist group Combat 18.

Simon Clegg, prosecuting, said Mr Sutcliffe felt threatened and distressed and contacted police.

Wainwright, of Lee Mount Road, Lee Mount, Halifax, sent a second poster to the Jama Majid Ahl-E-Hadith mosque in Halifax on March 19.

The 68-year-old secretary of the mosque who opened the literature
was extremely upset by the poster, which bore the skull and crossbones and the words "Muslims will die."

On April 1 a poster was sent to Coun Mohammed Najib at Halifax Town Hall, saying a race war would begin in Halifax in five days and Muslim blood would be spilled.

Mr Clegg said: "This was a dedicated attack on a place of worship, a seat of democracy and the home of an individual who campaigned against racism." On November 5, Wainwright was arrested in Keighley as he distributed BNP literature.

While in custody, police raided his home and found more racist literature, handwritten writings including one entitled "White England: One Solution" and a copy of the poster.

A handwriting expert confirmed Wainwright's penmanship matched that on the posters. His DNA was found on one of the stamps and on the gummed seal of one of the envelopes.

Peter McCaughley, for Wainwright, said he was a dedicated family man with two children and a 15-year-old step-daughter. He added: "I don't seek to minimise the effect of the letters on the victims but it was just one letter to each."

Wainwright, currently unemployed, has twice stood for election. In 2004 he was a council BNP candidate for Ovenden, polling 894 votes to Linda Riordan's 1,263. He stood as BNP Parliamentary candidate for Hull North in 2005 but polled just 766.

------------------------------------------------------

Wainwright wasn't jailed, however. He was merely granted bail. It is to be hoped justice is done for death threats in-line with the hefty sentence faced by the Danish cartoons demonstrator.

There cannot be one law for the BNP, and another for Islamic extremists. Both are dangerous and evil, and both should be punished the same.

And by the way, nazi trolls, don't bother to follow up this post. Get a ***** life, you losers!

Everyone knows the BNP are heavily involved with Combat 18.

Drat, you've uncovered the fact that C18 is run by Pat Richardson the BNP's Jew councillor. She loves pogoing to 'Die Jew Die' at B&H gigs and is known to spend her weekends at Wilf Browning's singing Chingford Attack songs.

CODE RED ALERT!!! TROLLS WILL INFEST THIS THREAD

As it is obvious to all but the dimmest BNP members that Wainwright is a hardcore Hitler-loving nazi, a violent Combat18 thug (Leeds Service Crew branch), AND a fully active neo-Nazi BNP organiser, (something the BNP claim doesn't happen any more) there are bound to be hundreds of BNP trolling stories following this story.

Take care, boys and girls. Do not feed the trolls!!!

Are you the vile creature who throws his own excrement at passers by from the Briarsdale Flats ? This is typical fascist behaviour, a recent poll identified that the average B.N.P.supporter could count to 6 unaided and most were partly toilet trained .

WTF!!!!!!!!

Why is this? Some Muslims get their homes raided for merely practicing Islam, and it's well known a large number have been held in Guantanamo bay on false charges!! West Indian and African people get stopped and searched simply for not being white! Yet this piece of trash writes Racist literature and sends racially motivated death threats plastered in Nazi shit to his fellow human beings and not a thing happens!! I'm guessing he and his "comrades" will be having a good old laugh at this! I cant even put how sick it's made me into words!

HANG ALL RIGHT WING SCUM!

NO PASARAN!!

Service Crew?

Unless you are absolutely sure of a link with the Service Crew I would leave them out of it. Its lazy to just lump footy lads in with the fash and exposes some prejudices undoubtley held by a some people on this site.

F.C.E


Do we know when Mr Wainwright is to be sentenced?

09.01.2007 10:24

Anyone know when sentencing will be?

I imagine he'll be kicked out of the BNP PDQ. This isn't quite the image Griffin wants the world to see...
