BNP leader Nick Griffin and party activist Mark Collett have been cleared of inciting racial hatred after a retrial at Leeds Crown Court.
Mr Griffin, 46, from Powys, Wales, had denied two charges of using words or behaviour intended to stir up racial hatred in a speech in Keighley.

Mr Collett, 26, of Leicestershire, was cleared of four similar charges.

The pair were charged in April 2005 after the BBC showed a secretly-filmed documentary The Secret Agent in 2004.

I WANT you to know just how much I agonised over this particular column ... even before I tapped out the first words on my keyboard.

The reason for this personal angst is that I just know I am going to open a can of worms. This is the same can of worms which I opened when I first wrote an article expressing my concern over the pop culture around nasheed artists.

It really caused so much division in the Ummah and threatened to turn some chatrooms, blogging sites and other Internet corners into war zones.
