BNP leader Nick Griffin has pleaded not guilty to four race hate charges arising out of an undercover documentary about the party.

Griffin appeared at Leeds Crown Court alongside party activist Mark Collett, who denies eight similar charges.

Both men were charged following a police investigation stemming from the broadcast of the BBC Secret Agent programme which featured a number of BNP activists.
