Big News in the UK : "Record Haul" of Explosives Recovered by Police
Of course, it's big news that is getting virtually ZERO media attention. These are guys with links to the BNP! Perhaps it might help if the two guys arrested were brown or Muslim?

ROCKET LAUNCHER ‘FOUND AT DENTIST'S HOUSE’

A RETIRED Grange dentist is accused of being part of a bomb plot after a record number of explosives were seized in a Lancashire town.

David Bolais Jackson, 62, of Trent Road, Nelson, was arrested on Friday in the Lancaster area after leaving his Grange practice for the last time.

Jackson was charged with being in possession of an explosive substance for an unlawful purpose.

However, it is unclear who or what the intended target might have been.

Police found rocket launchers, chemicals, British National Party literature and a nuclear or biological suit at his home.

The find came shortly after they had recovered 22 chemical components from the house of his alleged accomplice, Robert Cottage, a former BNP election candidate, who lives in Colne.

The haul is thought to be the largest ever found at a house in this country.

Police arrest BNP members with "record haul" of explosives

Two men were arrested last week after police recovered a "record haul" of chemicals that could potentially be used to make explosives.

The police also recovered rocket launchers, BNP literature and a nuclear biological suit. The chemical components recovered by police are believed to be the largest haul ever found at a house in Britain.

The arrests were covered by local newspapers and the news quickly spread to internet blogs. However none of the national media have yet covered the story, prompting many to question the silence given the headlines if the arrested were British Muslims.

1. Waiting on the Antidentites to chime in
I believe dentist have the right to protect themselves, if this were a proctologist, or any real Dr., there would be no fuss. Damn bigots.

Hmm.. an extreme right wing party that wants all non-europeans deported... gee, I wonder what they've been doing with all those explosives?

on edit: Sorry I looked the BNP up on Wikipedia and was alarmed that they held 53 elected posts... it was not until further investigation that I realized those 53 posts were "Dog Catcher", not seats in Parliment :)
