Neo-Nazi 'waged racist campaign against mixed-race couple'

A neo-Nazi from Grimsby waged a racist campaign against a couple because they were mixed-race, a court has heard.

Nathan Worrell, 35, is accused of hoarding bomb-making manuals and materials and waging a racist campaign against a mixed-race couple who lived nearby. Books and manuals containing "recipes" to make bombs and detonators using household items such as weed killer, lighter fluid and sugar were found by police at the defendant's flat, a jury at Grimsby Crown Court heard.

Also found were numerous boxes of matches, 171 match heads, two tubs of sodium chlorate weed killer and three bottles of lighter fluid. Fireworks, some of which had been tampered with, were also found in the flat, the jury was told. The prosecution alleges they had been tampered with in order to get at the gunpowder inside.

David Farrell QC, prosecuting, told the jury these items featured in the manuals and books found in the flat. The jury was also shown a video by the extreme far-right group Combat 18 showing how to prepare and make a bomb from household items, which was found in Worrell's flat.

A significant amount of racist and far-right propaganda was also found in the ground-floor flat by police, as well as membership cards of groups such as the Ku Klux Klan, the November Ninth Society and the British People's Party.

Worrell admitted to police in interview that he was a white nationalist, Mr Farrell told the court. He also said Worrell signed his texts off as "88" - the sign for Adolf Hitler.

Earlier the court heard how racist stickers had been left on the gate and a nearby lamppost of the home of a mixed-race couple. The prosecution alleges that jobless Worrell was behind the "stickering" campaign, which lasted for a year. One sticker read: "Only inferior white women date outside their race. Be proud of your heritage. Don't be a race-mixing slut" while another from the Combat 18 group said: "It's our country. Let's win it back. Repatriation now."

Worrell is charged with possessing items for terrorism including manuals and equipment for making explosives and for racially aggravated public offences against a mixed-race couple, who cannot be named for legal reasons. He denies both charges. The trial continues.

Rightwing activist in court

The leader of a little-known rightwing political party appeared in court on Wednesday to deny a charge of racially aggravated public disorder.

Kevin Quinn, of the Britain First Party, was answering charges relating to an incident in South Oxhey on Saturday, December 1, last year. Watford Magistrates' Court heard Mr Quinn deny using racially offensive, abusive and upsetting language during an impromptu political address at the St Andrews Road shopping precinct.

Flanked in Court One by four party loyalists, Quinn, of Ouseland Road, Bedford, pleaded not guilty to an offence under Section 4A of the Public Order Act and was committed for trial by Crown Court at a date to be confirmed.

It is alleged that after setting up a small, Union Flag covered table, a megaphone-wielding Mr Quinn subjected passers-by to a stream of racially offensive comments, during which he branded all Muslims as terrorists and urged other minority groups to return to "their own countries".

Suspected neo-Nazi in court accused of terrorist offences

A suspected neo-Nazi has appeared in court accused of terrorist offences.

Nathan Worrell, 34, allegedly kept a massive collection of far-Right propaganda and had a membership card for the Ku Klux Klan. He is also accused of hoarding bomb-making manuals, weed-killer for making explosives and waging a racist campaign against a couple – an Asian man and white woman. Jobless Worrell, of Cromwell Road, Grimsby, allegedly plastered a lamp-post and gate near their home with offensive stickers.

Worrell was arrested after police forced entry to his home on January 24. He was questioned for several days before being taken to City of Westminster Magistrates' Court in London by officers from the Counter Terrorism Unit in Leeds.

Appearing pale and thin in a grey sweatshirt and black trousers, Worrell spoke only to confirm his details. He has yet to enter pleas to one charge of possession of material for terrorist purposes, one count of possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism and one of racial harassment.

Peter McDonagh, prosecuting, told the court: "Officers found voluminous amounts of far-Right literature and membership cards for the Ku Klux Klan, the November Ninth Society – the British Nazi party – and the British People's Party. They date to December of last year so we are talking about current political affiliations."

He said a large number of manuals on making explosives, booby traps, weapons and poisons were also found, as well as 1.5kg of weedkiller under a sink which contained a key ingredient for bomb-making. Police also found 171 matchstick heads and a number of dismantled fireworks, some on top of a bin.

Mr McDonagh added: "The prosecution would say this is an individual who has extremely far-Right affiliations who has gone some way to preparing items for making of explosives."

The court heard racist stickers were also found as well as newspaper reports on which Worrell is alleged to have written "pipe bomb". On a letter from his tenants' association he had allegedly scrawled offensive threats to black people in Grimsby.

The hearing was adjourned until February 7 and Worrell was remanded in custody.

On the edge: a brief look at the lunatic fringe of the far-right

NF no longer official

The National Front failed to register itself with the Electoral Commission this year so they are no longer a registered party. Tess Culnane, who was standing for the NF in the Lewisham by-election on September 13th is now apparently standing for nobody at all. Ah, the superb efficiency of the far-right - the BNP can't get its accounts in on time, the NF can't even register itself, the BPP is packed with glue-sniffers and drunks, N9S/BFP is in the closet and the NNP is just a bad joke. Dontcha love 'em.

BPP attempts to grab fall-out from constant BNP disasters

Just prior to the May local government elections, Unsteady Eddy Morrison, National Inspector of the miniscule bunch of fruitcakes, drunks and glue-sniffing nazis who call themselves the British People's Party, was calling for unity in the 'nationalist' movement and demanding that everyone in it gave their support to the British National Party.

Now, after watching the BNP and its ex-bankrupt leader Nick Griffin lurch through a swathe of crises including the recent disastrous leadership challenge, Morrison appears to have completely reversed his position and, being the opportunist he always has been and sensing instability in the BNP ranks, he's attempting to get disaffected BNP members to get out of it and join the BPP.

Much to our surprise, we found ourselves in agreement with Morrison over a number of points he makes in his current article on his party's website. The excellent appellation Nick 'Fingers' Griffin for one, which I think we might well pinch for our own use, and his description of Griffin-loyalist and Hitlerite Mark Collett as 'odious' was another. A knowledge of basic mathematics not being one of Morrison's well-hidden talents though, we have to pull him up over one figure at least, when he refers to 'the 53% of BNP members who did NOT vote for Griffin in the latest leadership challenge'. The figure was actually 57% who couldn't be bothered to vote and if you include the number of people in the party who voted for Chris Jackson and against Griffin, that figure goes up to 61%.

Figures aside, how is Morrison seeking to take the BNP residue? Partly by claiming a growth in the BPP membership that simply hasn't happened, thus encouraging the ignorant to feel that the BPP is a going and growing concern when it is in fact moribund. Membership has only increased because the BPP will sign up people who are already members of other parties - indeed the leader of the almost-dead England First Party, convicted electoral-fraudster Steve Smith, is a member of both parties. Morrison actually makes a point of saying that 'BNP members are especially welcome into the BPP' in the full and certain knowledge that if they join and are found out, the ever-paranoid Griffin will have them out of the BNP faster than he could start up a new fake company - and that, let me tell you, is very fast indeed.

Sharon Ebanks nearly takes to the law

Sharon Ebanks, former doyen of the BNP and now leader of the tiny and pointless New Nationalist Party, has threatened to go the law with the information she has on Nick Griffin's dodgy doings on numerous occasions but, up until now, has never done so. Finally though, something seems to have annoyed her so much that she has stated that she is off to Birmingham's Economic Crime Unit to inform them of 'certain information'.

Ebanks is a regular contributor to the comments section of the North-West Nationalist blog and had this to say a few days ago;

'...it should also be known that Steve Edwards told me personally that the worst days work he ever did was voting for Griffin and that he bitterly regretted it. The lengths that Griffin/Darby will go to, to destroy a persons reputation knows no bounds but this time it has seriously backfired and I will be attending the Economic Crime Unit in Birmingham to inform them of certain information tomorrow. Nick Griffin may well have successfully pocketed close to £100,000 in a libel action in the High Court last year but he sure as hell won't be doing it to me.'

We looked forward to reading of the charges being made against Griffin - though we don't seriously believe that any ever will be (for a number of reasons) and in fact, according to comments posted on our own blog, she got nowhere with the police. However, in the spirit of being kind to those less fortunate than ourselves, we offered her a space to get her accusations on screen here at Lancaster UAF - a site that we'd guess is a rather better read than her own NNP site. Her response? No thanks. We've come to the conclusion that, as much as she may continue to fantasise about revenge for the way the BNP treated her, she's actually got nothing on them that's worth having.

Nazi? Not the BFP.

Meanwhile, over at the website of the November 9th Society (N9S), they don't mess about. Not only are we treated to several images of Hitler, our ears are also assailed by the music (!) of the Third Reich. Strangely, all this is missing from its sister-site, that of the British First Party.

We mention the BFP not because it's done anything worth reporting - in fact it doesn't seem to have done anything at all since May - but because it has quite a nice little piss-take of the ads for the BNP's Trafalgar Club. Regular readers will know that one of the huge advantages of joining the BNP's Trafalgar Club at £180 per year is that you get a free tie at the end of the year to remind you of what you wasted your £180 on. The BFP's Britannia Club is a real bargain at just £150 per year and - wait for it - you get your tie AND cufflinks at the START of the year. It's almost worth being a nazi just for the gimmicks and giveaways.

The BNP - defending the indefensible

This appalling rubbish appeared on the BNP's Regional Voices page a few days back.

'A group of local funsters in the Cornish village of St. Columb Major decided to dress as Muslims in order to participate in the local carnival. With joke names such as “Miss Hairyarmpitsbad”, “Miss Slackistan”, “Miss Notbadinbedbad” and “Miss Reallyamanistan” the group of 17 men and women paraded through the village in burkas – stopping ever so often to face east to “pray” to Mecca. The local onlookers loved it and the group were about to be awarded the “best entry” prize – when police intervened. Apparently there had been a “complaint” – no names – no packdrill – just an anonymous complaint! The 17 strong group were told to go by police or, presumably, face arrest “for inciting racial hatred” or some other ludicrous politically correct nonsense!'

And the BNP claims it isn't racist. Bloody hilarious.

N9S rebrands itself - though it's still nazi

Oh dear. The very smart though utterly hopeless leader of N9S, Kevin Quinn, must be getting desperate. Following countless months of stagnation and a complete lack of ideas, he's fallen back on the mainstay that sees most far-right parties through extended periods of inactivity - he's changed the party's name.

The chubby Quinn obviously sees some advantage in naming his party after the fast-failing England First Party, recently two councillors lighter after the defections of the party leader and one of his drinking buddies, so has renamed N9S the British First Party.

The old name, N9S, was a direct reference to Kristallnacht, which referred to the events that took place in Germany and Austria on the night of November 9–10, 1938, when Jewish homes were ransacked in numerous German cities along with 8,000 Jewish shops, towns and villages, as ordinary citizens and stormtroopers destroyed buildings with sledgehammers, leaving the streets covered in smashed windows — the origin of the name 'Night of Broken Glass'. Jews were beaten to death; 30,000 Jewish men were taken to concentration camps; and 1,668 synagogues ransacked with 267 set on fire.

Which shows pretty clearly where Quinn and his micro-party stand on the subject of Jews.

It's not too difficult to guess then where Quinn and co stand on the subject of blacks, Asians and gays either. And your guess would be correct. Back in February 2006, N9S was infiltrated by a Sunday Mirror reporter, Stewart Maclean, who reported;

During my time with the hate-filled skinheads, there were organised street fights, random violent attacks and paramilitary training camps. Evil leader Kevin Quinn, a father-of-four from Bedford, is serving a nine-month suspended prison sentence after admitting possessing violent Nazi literature.

But the threat of prison didn't stop him from a verbal attack on a Jew in the street last week, which I witnessed after joining the gang for an afternoon rally in Central London.

As I secretly filmed, the bully, 40, picked out a young passer-by in broad daylight and yelled: "Juden Raus!", a Nazi slogan meaning "Jew out". Another party member - dad-of-two Jason Okane, 36, from Hastings, East Sussex - yelled: "A Jew! What shall we do, get the noose?"

The shocked victim crossed the street to avoid a fight. Later unmarried Quinn made it clear he preferred to use violence to enforce his evil message.

He told me: "We need to fight any way we can. I'm all Nazi, a total Nazi. We've got to look after ourselves and we need to get people trained up. Now we've got the Muslims and the blacks here we need to stop it. Let's fucking do it. I'll fight for Britain forever."

Maclean's report goes on;

The highlight of their social calendar is a celebration of Hitler's life - held in a secret location every April. They wear Nazi uniforms, swear allegiance to National Socialism and read passages from Hitler's Mein Kampf. Eaton told me: "What he done was right, he just done so much right, didn't he?"

The Electoral Commission, with whom the N9S/British First Party (BFP) are registered, holds the party's latest submitted accounts, which only go as far as December 2004. This peculiar document showed that in the twelve months to that date, the party delivered or handed out 100,000 leaflets. At the end of the year, it had achieved the grand total of 32 members (if the accounts are to be believed, £320 was received in membership subscriptions at £10 a go) though another part of the accounts states that;

In 2004, the membership rose from 350 people to 980 when we introduced a free membership period, this hopefully will generate income when members pay their yearly subs.

Apparently not.

Quinn's ridiculous little nazi party also seems to encourage youngsters into it. According to Maclean, some members of the forum were as young as twelve - certainly too young to vote, too young to belong to a political party and way too young to be hanging around with a bunch of nazi thugs.

The name change is only part of what the BFP is up to. As far as we could see there are no longer any mentions of national socialism, no swastikas and all the verbal attacks have been toned down and will soon, no doubt, disappear altogether from the website.

All this is very reminiscent of the way Nick Griffin has rebranded the BNP. The old hatred, violence and criminality are all still there but, like Griffin, Quinn has swept them under the carpet in an attempt to fool the public into believing that their respective parties are respectable. They're not. They are both, the leaders and the parties they represent, the BNP and the BFP, Holocaust-denying fascist criminals.
