BNP chief claims acquittal is his victory for freedom
Nick ... said that the race-hate trial was the Establishment's attempt
to silence him

NICK ... hailed his unanimous acquittal on race-hate charges
yesterday as a vindication of his belief that parts of Britain have become
"a multi-racial hell hole" in which Asians drug and . white schoolgirls
as part of a Muslim plot to conquer the country.
The BNP chairman, 47, told a cheering crowd of more than 200 on
the steps of Leeds Crown Court that he had won a victory for freedom. He
claimed that the decision to bring him to trial had been an attempt by "the
corrupt political establishment" to silence the BNP for speaking the truth.
Mr ... told the BNP supporters: "We've shown Tony Blair and
the Government and the BBC that they can take our taxes but they cannot take
our hearts, they cannot take our tongues and they cannot take our freedom.
"It took 12 ordinary, decent, common-sense Yorkshiremen and
women less than three hours to find us not guilty on all charges. This shows
the enormous gulf between the ordinary, real British people and the
multicultural fantasy world our masters live in."
He claimed that the failed prosecution had cost more than £1
million. Mr ... and Mr Collett, the BNP's publicity director, faced
charges linked to speeches that they had made before the 2004 local
elections.
The speeches, to gatherings of BNP supporters at pubs in
Keighley, West Yorkshire, were secretly filmed by an undercover BBC
journalist and later shown in a television programme, The Secret Agent,
which was watched by 4.5 million people.
In the 2004 speech that led to a charge of conduct intending or
likely to stir up racial hatred, Mr ... told his audience that Asian men
were seducing under-age white girls because of a Koran-inspired command to
turn Britain into an Islamic republic.
Mr Collett, in two speeches, compared asylum-seekers to
cockroaches and said that Asians were attacking whites "in a controlled,
systematic way" because they "hate us" and "want to wipe out white people".
He urged the meeting to vote BNP to "show these ethnics the door in 2004".
The prosecution argued that both men had been seeking to build
fear and resentment of Asians by creating a nightmare vision of .s and
muggings, which they sought to blame on the entire Asian population.
Mr Collett told the jury that he had merely been trying to
convince party members to take part in legal and democratic campaigning. Mr
... said that he had not been attacking any ethnic group: his target had
been the "wicked, vicious" Islamic religion.
The men were first tried in January on charges linked to two
speeches by the BNP leader and four by his co-accused. When that jury
acquitted them on some of the race-hate charges - one of Mr ...'s
speeches and two by Mr Collett - but failed to reach a verdict on the
remaining speeches, the Crown Prosecution Service pressed ahead with a
retrial.
At a time of particular sensitivity over Muslim issues in
Britain, both trials gave Mr ... a public opportunity to place Islam in
the dock by presenting detailed evidence from the Koran and the Hadith to
justify his view that it was an evil religion.
As Mr ... addressed supporters through a loud-hailer yesterday,
his words were almost drowned out by a small but vociferous group of antifascist
demonstrators who hurled abuse at the BNP chairman, chanting: "The BNP are a
Nazi party; smash the BNP."
[ed. And to think the "Big Two" wasted their money on a group of
rent-a-scum who have that double-think as their biggest achievement!?!...]
Mr Collett shouted "BNP 2, BBC 0" and accused the corporation of
abusing its position and wasting taxpayers' money to target "a legal, peaceful,
democratic political party". The BBC's investigation is thought to have cost
£300,000.
[ed. In related news, that rasping bastard Gordon Brown has said that
thought-crime legislation needs to be tighted so his political opponents will
*definitely* be thrown in jail next time, just like BNP member Kevin Hughes...
so democracy now means: "being able to think only what the government likes"...]
