BNP man kept chemicals over 'civil war'
12.32, Tue Jul 31 2007

A former British National Party candidate has been jailed for two-and-a-half years for possessing explosive chemicals.

Robert Cottage, 49, was cleared after two trials of conspiracy to cause explosions but had earlier pleaded guilty to amassing the chemicals.

Police discovered a huge stockpile of chemicals and food at his home in Colne, Lancashire last September.

Officers mounted the operation after Cottage's wife told a social worker she was concerned about the substances and her husband's belief that immigrants were swamping Britain.

The court heard that Cottage feared the country was on the brink of civil war.

He appeared at Manchester's Crown Square Court to be sentenced in relation to the charge of possession.
