Peter Tierney - yet another BNP thugDuring the incident, which was captured on CCTV, Tierney swung a camera tripod at the back of the activist’s head. The victim subsequently needed his head wound gluing up at hospital. The jury took just an hour to find Tierney guilty, rejecting the notion that he acted in self-defence and was “in danger for my life.”
A spokesperson for Liverpool Antifascists said: “This is absolutely a positive result. Tierney’s guilt was clear-cut, as we have seen from the CCTV footage, and it is absurd that he has been able to drag this out for so long – at unneccesary expense to the taxpayer and stress to the victim. Liverpool Antifascists have protested at every single one of Tierney’s court appearances.
“Despite the wish of the BNP that this incident be forgotten, we have refused to turn a blind eye to the violent criminality of so prominent a member in Liverpool BNP. This result vindicates our stance.”
The sentence will be announced on July 12th. Judge John Roberts, adjourning, said: “I have not made a final decision on sentencing. That would be wrong at this stage, but provisionally I am thinking of some kind of community service. To decide how I should sentence you I will need a report from probation services.”
Peter Tierney has engaged in aggression and violence during BNP activism, and in full view of his fellow members. Liverpool BNP’s support of him, and of this violent criminality, has been unwavering throughout the trial. Political violence is a characteristic of fascism, and Liverpool Antifascists are glad that the truth has come out.

What a great week the BNP is having with Charlotte Lewis, David Lucas and Peter Tierney, loonies all!!!
The thuggish behaviour in the last week of the BNP goes to show what kind of hate filled lunatics they are.
utter scum.
A suspended (by the neck) sentance will suffice.

"Despite the wish of the BNP that this incident be forgotten"
The BNP wish that a lot of things be forgotten - like most of their sordid, disfunctional history.
I'd predicted a summer holiday in HMP - either way another demonstation of crims in the BNP!

BNP 'star' Simon Nicholson quits..to expose racist party
“Told that on a recent trip to Brussels a BNP official spent the night in a brothel. We give that a miss. But our group, many of them out of their minds on booze, still causes chaos - reports of naked women running from room to room at 3.30am.”

Probable community service - for actual bodily harm. The BNP getting away with it AGAIN!
Nowt to do with this particular story, but here's the latest on the EDL's planned demo in Blackpool tomorrow, Sat 20/06/10. The police have made them go to a pub carpark miles away from their planned venue! HA!!! Still crap that their demo is going ahead, but funny as fuck that they've been moved on.
Oh, and shame on Brewers Fayre - Yeadon Way, South Shore for allowing the fascist EDL to use their facilities!
