BNP incites criminal damage

The BNP has suggested its readers commit acts of criminal damage in protest at an anti-white expression by one of the characters on Coronation Street.

Coronation Street is currently sponsored by Goodfella's Solos pizzas. The BNP website on 19 January urged readers: "When you next go to the Tesco/ASDA/Sainsbury's/Morrisons etc., take a handful of Goodfella's pizzas from the freezer cabinet. Don't overdo it! If a few minutes later you decide you do not want these pizzas, the purchase of which is helping to fund antiwhite racist filth spewed out by ITV/Granada then just pop the pizzas somewhere else. After 15 mins. they will be partially thawed and supermarket staff encountering these soggy pieces of cardboard will have to bin the items."

The BNP website described this as "perfectly legal". Yet two days later the offending paragraphs had been removed from the article. BNP readers raring to have a go at Coronation Street were told merely to "avoid buying this brand of pizza until they start squealing about dwindling profits" and to write letters of complaint to Northern Foods.
