Another interesting story I read in Tribune, and have not seen mentioned in the rest of the national media, is about the arrest of two men from Lancashire found with bomb-making equipment.

Robert Cottage, a former BNP candidate at the last local elections in May, and David Bolus Jackson have both have been charged with possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose.

Raids of their houses uncovered BNP literature, rocket launchers(!), a nuclear biological suit, and incredibly 22 chemical components which could be used for bomb making, thought to be the largest such haul ever discovered in Britain.

The apparent media blackout on the duo’s arrest stands in stark contrast to the unfortunate Iraqi Kurds who were splashed across the front page of a certain tabloid in 2004, accused of a suicide bomb plot to blow up Old Trafford. In fact their only crime was supporting Manchester United with the story a hysterical fabrication. They were never charged and there was never any evidence to suggest they were anything else but football fans.

An interesting insight to our media.
