A man who admitted making nail bombs at his West Yorkshire home has been jailed for 11 years.
...
The bus driver's arsenal of weapons and explosives included home-made shotguns, pen guns and pistols.
...
Police discovered 12 firearms and 54 improvised explosive devices, which included nail bombs and a booby-trapped cigarette packet, at the home Gavan shared with his mother. (BBC online)
Clearly a quite delightful chap; reportedly had a visceral hatred of immigrants and joined the British Nazi Party a few years ago.
 
Don't see what the man's former political affiliation has to do with anything. Do we condemn the entire Conservative party because of Jeffrey Archer and Jonathan Aitken?

Whatever though, it's good to finally see an appropriate sentence dished out in a British court. That is unless there's a minimum tariff of 6 months or something?

Much was made of the fantasy of the SLA.

It suited westminster at the time to brand nationalists as terrorists because of it. (and still do, old games die hard)

Who are the SLA? :confused:

For Ireland it's clear that Sinn Fein were a terrorist party because they directly supported the PIRA - they even had a member of the PIRA Army Council as deputy leader!

Well, the high rate of criminal history among current and past members of the BNP would perhaps suggest something...
 
lol :D

the Scottish Liberation Army apparently, although its a joke.

You'd really want to look at Siol nan gael (and they did) if you wanted to look for bad Scots people who want to hurt English people. -> I have the T shirt :p

The link between Combat 18 and the BNP goes back to the early 1990's. Combat 18 provided "security" at BNP meetings and events.

Wells, as one of the senior organisers in Combat 18, knew of Nick Griffin. He regarded the BNP leader as a figure who shared many of the fundamental beliefs of the far right such as Holocaust denial and forcible repatriation.

Wells is sceptical of the apparent transformation that Griffin claims for himself and his party. He believes most members do not support the party's change in policy from forcible to voluntary repatriation.

He said, "Your average BNP supporter isn't as intellectual as Griffin. They would be just like 'Okay, ship 'em up, let's get a boat off' and that would be it. It would be as simple as that. But Griffin knows he's not going to get elected by saying things like that."

Probably take with a pinch of salt
