White terrorists don’t make the news

Robert Cottage, 49, of Talbot Street, Colne, appeared before Burnley

magistrates last week charged with possession of an explosive

substance.

Officers claim that their find is the largest haul of chemicals of its

kind

discovered.

The case has attracted little publicity as the national media continue

to

focus on Muslims.

Cottage reportedly drives disabled children to school. Police sealed

off

Cottage's home and were believed to have continued their search over

the

weekend. His Peugeot car has been taken away for examination.

Cottage was charged under the Explosives Substances Act 1883 last

Monday. 22

chemical components are believed to have been recovered from his house.

David Leach, representing Cottage made no application for bail.

Magistrates

remanded Cottage in custody and referred his case to Burnley Crown

Court.

Cottage, a sub-contracted driver for Lancashire County Council, stood

for

the BNP in the May elections in the Vivary Bridge ward of Pendle

Council.

62-year-old retired dentist David Bolus Jackson, of Trent Road, Nelson,

was

charged with similar offences. It has been reported that police

discovered a

rocket launcher, a nuclear biological suit, chemicals and BNP

literature.

Christiana Buchanan, who appeared for the prosecution in Jackson's

case,

alleged the pair had "some kind of masterplan".

Cottage and Jackson of Trent Road made separate appearances in court

charged

with being in possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful

purpose.

Both were remanded in custody.

Amid alarm from nearby residents, police tried to reassure neighbours

that

they had not discovered “a bomb making factory.”

A local BNP councillor, Brian Parkinson, distanced his party from

Cottage.

“It certainly wouldn't condone the sort of thing he is allegedly being

connected with”, he said.

I remember when white terrorists always made the news. They were usually Irish.

Having the stuff doesn't make you a terrorist. Using it or planning to use it does.

Interesting point. I think though that there is a distinction between those who act out alone with violence and those who institutionalize violence, using fear as a political tool (wow, I just realized that could apply to our current President). The War on Terror is really about combating the growing hostility towards the U.S. and its foreign affairs, which ironically, that hostility has grown exponentially since our President declared his own holy jihad on those who thumb their noses at the U.S..
