Inquest on Friday - verdict likely to be suicide

We've just spoken to the coroner's officer in Burnley, who has confirmed the death of former BNP councillor, Luke Smith. Smith was found hanged in Burnley's Yorkshire Street at around 4pm yesterday. An inquest will open on Friday though the verdict is likely to be suicide. Smith was 26.

The last report we had of Smith's behaviour was when he suddenly reappeared from obscurity a couple of weeks ago, after being convicted of attacking a pub landlord. In the article that we reprinted, it was revealed that Smith's mental health was fast-deteriorating and the court was told that he was said to be suffering from adjustment disorder, brief reactive depression and a mental and behavioural disorder due to misuse of substances...

Let's hope some more BNP henchmen follow Luke Smith's example.

This is a sad day as the world of racism, thuggery and football hooliganism mourns a favourite son.

With the death of every Fasc' we move a step closer to a society that is free from discrimination and intolerance, and a better place to live

So yes, I guess, the only good ones are dead ones

Are you running some kind of subtitle service for the hard of thinking? Here, let me...

"God bless, Luke. Depression gets anyone - black, white, rich or poor - but I see these anti-British loonies are stereotypical. There is nothing like an anti-Nazi for not judging. Ha! If that's true, I'll plait shit."

Having translated into English from your native Cretin, it becomes clear that you think being British is directly equated with being an illiterate racist goon in a third-rate fascist fan club that likes to organise the odd day-trip where you all pretend to be a political party. At least, that's the only reason I can think of that you lead you to ask "What's wrong with being British?" (I assume it's a question - you missed out the question mark).

Also, if you are all the true British patriots that you proclaim, why can't you do the motherland the honour of learning TO FUCKING CAPITALISE IT? It's a proper noun so it has a big letter at the front, OK?

This country would be in real trouble if your lot weren't so fucking clown shoes.

Contradictive

"With the death of every Fasc' we move a step closer to a society that is free from discrimination and intolerance, and a better place to live"

It really makes me laugh how you can be so contradicting. "Closer to a society that is free from discrimination"??? ... if i'm not mistaken you're discriminating against "Fasc" as you put it. You dont like him because of his beliefs ... isn't that discrimination ?

And the fact that you are HAPPY because of someones death, who's beliefs were different to yours makes me wonder why you're not banged up. You're as bad as you say he is.
