Friday November 10, 2006 Guardian Unlimited Nick Griffin, the leader of the British National party, was today found not guilty of race hate charges relating to a speech he made two years ago.
Jurors at Leeds crown court cleared Mr Griffin of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred. He was charged after making a speech to BNP supporters at a pub in Keighley, West Yorkshire, in January 2004. In it, he described Islam as a "wicked, vicious faith" and said Muslims were turning Britain into a "multiracial hellhole". |
