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.
