Griffin Verdict

So Nick Griffin and Mark Collett walk free from Leeds Crown court.

“A jury at Leeds Crown Court has cleared BNP leader Nick Griffin of two racial hatred charges and BNP activist Mark Collett of four others.

The jury was discharged after failing to reach verdicts on the remaining charges – four against Mr Collett and two against Mr Griffin.”

I can’t say that I am over surprised – but, then, these charges should never have been brought.

“Mr Griffin said the verdicts were a “tremendous victory for freedom”.”

Well, well, well, I’d never have thought it, I agree with Mr Griffin. His views may be odious, but in a civilised and free society he should be free to voice them.
