BNP chief cleared of race-hate charge
BNP leader Nick Griffin has been found not guilty of race-hate charges brought after a speech he made two years ago.
The 47-year-old Cambridge graduate was found not guilty at Leeds Crown Court of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred during a speech he made in Keighley, West Yorks, in 2004.
Mr Griffin denied one count of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred and an alternative count of using words or behaviour likely to stir up racial hatred.
The BNP's head of publicity Mark Collett, 26, was also cleared of similar charges.
He denied two charges of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred and two alternative counts of using words or behaviour likely to stir up racial hatred.
These charges also relate to speeches he made in Keighley.
They were both cleared a day after the jury retired to consider its verdicts.
Griffin smiled and nodded as the foreman of the jury of seven women and five men read out the not guilty plea.
In the public gallery, which was packed with his supporters, his wife Jackie burst into tears, as did some of his daughters.
There were cheers from BNP supporters in the courtroom although these were muted by the judge who insisted he wanted silence.
He advised Griffin to leave the courtroom with Collett and the party leader left, urging his supporters to be quiet as he walked out.
The jury took about five hours to come to its verdict.

[color="Red"]This is a clear sign that the White people of Britain are "getting it". However the message from the next leader of the Labour party signals things for the future against British White Nationalists.
BNP leader Nick Griffin and party activist Mark Collett have been cleared of inciting racial hatred after a retrial at Leeds Crown Court.
Mr Griffin, 46, from Powys, Wales, had denied two charges of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred in a speech in Keighley.
Mr Collett, 26, of Leicestershire, was cleared of four similar charges.
Chancellor Gordon Brown has told the BBC race laws may have to be revised in light of the acquittal.
Mr Griffin and Mr Collett were charged in April 2005 after the BBC showed a secretly-filmed documentary The Secret Agent in 2004.
The party leader smiled and nodded as the foreman of the jury read out the unanimous not guilty verdict.
They can take our taxes but they cannot take our hearts, they cannot take our tongues and they cannot take our freedom
Outside court, Mr Griffin and Mr Collett were greeted with chants of "freedom" by about 200 supporters, some of whom waved the union flag.
A small number of anti-Nazi protesters shouted as Mr Griffin addressed the crowd on a megaphone.
He said: "What has just happened shows Tony Blair and the government toadies at 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."
Mr Griffin said his co-defendant had worked "incredibly hard" for the BNP but had been living under the threat of a prison sentence since the age of 23.
BBC 'cockroaches'
Mr Collett, the party's head of the publicity, said: "This is the BNP - two, BBC - nil."
He branded the BBC "cockroaches" and added: "The BBC have abused their position.
Mr Griffin had described Islam as a "wicked, vicious faith"
"They are a politically correct, politically biased organisation which has wasted licence-fee payers' money to bring two people in a legal, democratic, peaceful party to court over speaking nothing more than the truth."
In a statement, the BBC said its job was to bring matters of public interest to general attention.
"In this case the matters raised in The Secret Agent were seen by a large section of the public and caused widespread concern," the statement read.
"The BBC has an important role in doing this.
"However, the question of whether criminal offences have been committed is of course a matter for the police, prosecuting authorities and the courts and not for the BBC."
'Divide society'
Speaking to the BBC after the acquittal, Chancellor Gordon Brown said race laws may have to be tightened.
He said: "I think any preaching of religious or racial hatred will offend mainstream opinion in this country and I think we've got to do whatever we can to root it out from whatever quarter it comes.
"And if that means we've got to look at the laws again I think we will have to do so".
The Crown Prosecution Service said it was satisfied there had been sufficient evidence for a "realistic prospect of conviction" and it had been in the public interest to proceed.
During the trial, the jury heard extracts from a speech Mr Griffin made in the Reservoir Tavern in Keighley, on 19 January 2004, in which he described Islam as a "wicked, vicious faith" and said Muslims were turning Britain into a "multi-racial hell hole".
At the same event, Mr Collett addressed the audience by saying: "Let's show these ethnics the door in 2004."
In his closing argument, Nick Griffin's barrister said his client's words were part of a "campaign speech of an official and legitimate party".
Great news, until the Crown decides to re-re-retry Nick Griffin et. al.
It'z great to have enlightened Europeans show us "Cowboy Americans" what a real kikenvermin show trial is really like.. TWICE!
Congrats, England.

This is a major defeat for the forces of political correctness in Britain, but as we know, as they are licking their wounds, worse laws will be passed to try and stiffle the rising star of Nationalism in Britain.

A verdict for sommon sense. In a way, although I am no fan of the BNP Collett and Griffin represented every racialist in Britain.
What is disturbing but predictable is that ZOG will no doubt introduce even harsher race laws and fill in all the loopholes that may currently exist.
It is time to consider smarter ways of working to steer clear of the persecution to come.
This is why I particularly favour the religious approach. As folkish pagans we have a measure of protection that is not afforded to those involved in direct political action.
Time to consider other methods than mere small party politics.
These remarks by traitors like Brown need to be brought out into the light for what they really mean and should be spread far and wide. Show the people of the UK that what little freedoms you all have left are being taken away by the likes of this Brown stain.

Try everything. But only one thing will work -- if there's time for it, after trying everything.
Keep this in mind.
Real pro-White people are always guilty in ZOG's courts.

Let me clarify my remarks. On this particular occasion I was not referring to RaHoWa but alternative ways of fighting multiracialism.
Many times in the past I have tried to educate white nationalists, especially British ones in alternative strategies, eg infiltration of non-WN movements or campaigns to foster acts of legal non-violent civil disobedience to destabalise the government and to awaken the sheep from their slumber.
An excellent example of this was the Countryside Alliance`s march on Parliament a few years ago- `a sea of Anglo-Saxon faces`. Did the so-called `WN` parties try to capitalise on that? No they didn`t. That was yet another lost opportunity.
The unfortunate thing is that very few people in Britain care about their impending biological extinction as long as they have their ZOG-given creature comforts, `opium for the people`. Furthermore those who do care are led in the main by mediocre leaders, people who cannot or will not consider tactics beyond dropping unwanted leaflets through letter boxes.
What we desperately need is a racialist `think tank` that can meet in secret either offline or online to think of and deliberate on alternative strategies.
This is what forums such as this should be about but what do I see instead? Threads that air personal grievances that make us look bad or threads that pontificate on Hitler Goddess`s vital statistics.
We are not attracting enough people of the right calibre and one look at a number of threads and posters on these forums is the answer why.

Possible Future U.K. laws;
"Ethnically Diverse" [non whites only] juries must always decide these matters. Only the victims of racism, can make accurate decisions concerning racial hatred!
