Have you heard about the terrorism
case coming before Burnley Crown Court later this month? No? That might be because there were no big raids, no special press conferences
by the Home Secretary, no well-timed police leaks and yet not only where various chemical components found at the two subjects' houses
(the largest ever haul from a private home ever, according to the police) but also a rocket launcher and an NBC suit! So why does Google
News only find eight
articles about this?
Might it be because the subjects here were not Muslims, but white (ex-)British National Party members? The story does not fit in the
government's and media's narrative about terrorism, so it's ignored.
This is just a place for me to jot down some random thoughts and reactions to the news so I don't have to yell at the television or radio, or mutter to myself whilst reading the news.
