Jail for ex-BNP candidate who stockpiled explosive chemicals

Former British National Party council candidate Robert Cottage has been jailed for two and a half years after stockpiling explosive chemicals.

The 49 year old, from Colne in Lancashire, pleaded guilty to possession of the chemicals, which included ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and hydrochloric acid. Following two trials where the jury failed to reach a verdict, he was cleared of conspiracy to cause explosions.

His defence lawyer said that Cottage had obtained potassium nitrate and sulphur with the intention of making gunpowder, but maintained that this was only intended to make thunder flash bangers to deter intruders.

The judge, Mrs Justice Swift, explained the sentence by saying that though Cottage had made the stockpile because of views that “veer towards the apocalyptic“, “the risk of further offending of the same type is low”.

Cottage believed that because of immigration a future civil war was “imminent and inevitable”.

Cottage was arested last September after the stockpile of chemicals was found at his home. The police who discovered the chemicals also found ball-bearings, air-pistols, crossbows, a document on bomb making and a stockpile of food.

This BNP candidate had plans for ‘Rahowa’ (racial holy war) in the vein of Oklohoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
