His trial was not based on comments made to the public. What he said was spoken to other members of his party at the Reservoir Tavern, Keighley, West Yorkshire, on January 19, 2004. A BBC reporter, acting as a BNP supporter, had infiltrated the meeting, and secretly recorded his words. The comments were then screened on "The Secret Agent", a documentary for the BBC. Following the trial, he today branded the BBC as "cockroaches".
The BBC had no objections to assisting West Yorkshire police in their securing evidence to place Nick Griffin and Mark Collett on trial. Yet last year, when the BBC Newsnight team had broadcast footage of members of the Saviour Sect and Al Ghurabaa which showed blatant treason, the BBC refused to hand over all of their footage to the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service.
That's the BBC for you.
