BNP lecturer behind Muslim heroin leaflet cleared of inciting religious hatred

Anthony Bamber, 54, a BNP activist, told a jury his intention was to create a debate about the ''crime against humanity'' that was the flow of the drug on to Britain's streets.

He was responsible for heading a campaign which sent up to 30,000 of the leaflets by hand or post to targeted areas and individuals throughout the north of England over a 12-month period.....

His aim was to create curiosity and interest which would then lead to a debate, he said.

''If I wanted to stir up religious hatred I would have aimed at a different group,'' said the former part-time lecturer of politics and economics at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston."

You will have noticed that there are two very significant paragraphs missing (as below) from the Telegraph report........Why?

1)"Notwithstanding today's decision we condemn the contents of the leaflets and their distribution which we are concerned has the potential to damage community cohesion.

2)"We continue to work very closely with all our communities and partner agencies around community cohesion issues and we will take positive action against others who engage in such activity."
