Nick Griffin said that the race-hate trial was the Establishment’s attempt to silence him

NICK GRIFFIN 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 rape 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 Griffin 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 Griffin 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 Griffin 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 rapes 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 Griffin 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 Griffin’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 Griffin 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 Griffin 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.”
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.

just another turd that should get flushed along with the german NPD and the swedish sverige demokraterna. The scary thing are that those ****ers are getting more and more support each election.

Its time for the politicans to take a close look at why the european people is growing tired of the imigration policy before the rasist and nazi scum get more support. Keep on ignoring it and they will get into positions of power.

They actually have an excellent manifesto apart from the racist stuff. They want to toughen up on crime, give police more power, teachers more power, stiffen the prison system, look after the elderly and tighter immigration. For these reasons I would vote for them, however since i saw there speeches which were basically just race hate I will never vote for them. They were stupid as they were getting a lot of support until they spewed all that nazi shit.

Thats the problem with all these parties. They can have a plan that sounds great on paper. But in real life they are nothing but racists.

Exactly. I really agree with a lot of the issues that the Germany Nazi (NPD) brings up. The only problem is they bring up the issues due to being racists, not because they especially care about the citizens of Germany.

These types of groups start out as grass-roots movements. They are always created due to the lack of something in a society, in this case it is the lack of the gov't to enforce and carry out the will of the people. I am afraid that the average joe and moderate politicians are not going to be able to tackle these issues that bother the mainstream so much. It will take a radical group to combat the existing radical groups and movements that are burdening our cultures. These movements are born out of necessity.

The term racist gets used so often these days it is hard to determine who really is and who really is not. I definitely do not know as much about this group as you do, since you live there, but I hope that we are not confusing factual statements with racism. Factual statements in regards to statistics within a race is not racism, they are merely facts. If I were to point out that 64% of State and Federal inmates were minorities that is not a racist statement, it is fact. No more racist than if I were to say that the majority of clergy who have been accused of pedophilia are caucasian. So many groups use the term racist these days, it will over the longhaul loose it's meaning and derogatory appeal.

The main problem is that when these groups make those issues into there agenda no other party dares to touch it because then the media will label the regular parties as racist. In sweden we have one politician and one party that are doing just that and he all the time gets branded as a racist.
Yet all he wants is a language test for imigrants and to deport criminal imigrants.

Its so stupid, media will do anything to find shit and if they cant find it they invent it.

Thats why no regular politicians dare to do shit.

IMO, society will become numb to the term racist. We will get to a point where society will simply roll its' eye at those who scream racism. The whole political correct movement will backfire in the end.

The NPD supporters are neo-nazis. They stamp around wearing swastikas and singing racist songs about killing all foreigners. They are racist.

As I said, You would know better than I since you live amongst them. But my post still stands in regards to the whole "cry wolf" racism issue.
