There are a few questions about this.

Why it was never made a big issue at Nick Griffins Question time. The argument about "sub judice" is nonsense as this is not the first BNP member to be caught bomb handed. Questions could have been asked about the very similar case of Robert Cottage from Lancashire. Indeed, questions could be asked about the paramilitary nature of the BNP.

Robert Cottage, 49, of Talbot Street, Colne, appeared before Burnley magistrates charged with possession of an explosive substance [ ...] Cottage was charged under the Explosives Substances Act.

Why is the BNP and its various front groups permitted to continue in existence? If it looks like a terrorist organisation and behaves like a terrorist organisation - to paraphrase Nick Griffin himself - then it probably is a terrorist organisation. What is most worrying for those of us committed to a stable, sustainable and decent society is how many of these BNP prosecution are not simply for possession but for manufacture.

Given the apparent policies of internet grooming, Griffins long time association with Fiore well known for being unpresecuted for a role in the Bologna Train Bombing and the repeated promotion of the Turner Diaries and other such Race War advocacy, there is a clear question about how many other BNP members are sitting on an arms dump?

in August 2006, BNP supporter, Bullman attempted to burn down the Broad Street mosque in Swindon using a petrol bomb. Mark was the registered fund holder for Wiltshire BNP, and actively campaigned for the party in the 2006 local council elections, just four months before the arson attack. He has been out since February 2009. If he were a muslim - or irish in former years - there would be outcry. Yet, not a word.

David Copeland was convicted of murder on June 30, 2000, and was sentenced to six concurrent terms of life imprisonment. The trial judge spoke of his doubt whether it would ever be safe for Copeland to be released. So, there would seem to be a sustained relationship between the BNP and terrorist violence. The mainstream media very rarely mention it: "My main intent was to spread fear, resentment and hatred throughout this country, it was to cause a racial war." He also stated "There'd be a backlash from the ethnic minorities, I'd just be the spark that would set fire to this country." After his arrest, Copeland wrote to BBC correspondent Graeme McLagan: "I bomb the blacks, Pakis, degenerates. I would have bombed the Jews as well if I'd got a chance."

Lecomber is, similarly, a man with a propensity to violence. Yet, again, despite the sudden interest in profiling - there is little mention of the possibilities that the world could see BNP arrests for serious, sustained advocacy of civil disorder and the terrorist destruction of the Democratically elected government of the day. The truth is, the danger to this country is not from a bunch of Saudi Arabian Nationalists whose contribution to the war on terror is exaggerated beyond belief. The danger is from the terrorist organisation being gestated within the BNP.
