Because democracy needs an informed electorate

Bomb plots, rocket launchers and a news blackout?

Unity mails me pointing to his latest article here:

The Police raid two houses. In one they discover “a record haul of chemicals used in making home-made bombs”, in the other the find “rocket launchers, chemicals, and a nuclear or biological suit”.

It’s a terrorist plot, right? It’ll be all over the national news in a shot?

Wrong on both counts, apparently… because the two men caught with this nifty little haul of equipment aren’t Muslims, they’re BNP supporters, one of whom stood for election in Colne only last May.

Um, rocket launchers and chemical suits? Leon, Jamie, Fridgemagnet and bat020 have more.

A politician says something not at all offensive about running his consituency surgeries, and a policeman gets reassigned, both are screamsheet headlines. BNP members get arrested in an apparent bomb plot conspiracy? Where’s the headlines?
