John Laidlaw is sentenced to life after going on a shooting spree in
north London in May 2006.

He shot Abu Kamara in Upper Street before accidentally shooting Emma
Sheridan at Finsbury Park Tube station, as he aimed at a second man.
Laidlaw had a string of previous convictions starting at the age of 14.
They included property damage, public order offences and 16 counts of
theft and possession of knives. He also carried out seven armed street
muggings and had been in and out of jail several times. In October 2004
he attacked a black motorist, hurling racist abuse at him. A police
report written after Laidlaw was arrested for the attack said he behaved
violently in front of officers and was "foaming at the mouth". "In the
presence and hearing of the black female gaoler the defendant made
racist comments and remarks, stating he was a member of the BNP and that
he hated all black people," the document says. He also said he was going
to "kill all black people". He was convicted of racially aggravated
actual bodily harm and using racist language.

nick griffin on democracy:  “[BNP voters backed] what they perceived to
be a strong, disciplined organisation with the ability to back up its
slogan ‘Defend Rights for Whites’ with well-directed boots and fists.
When the crunch comes, power is the product of force and will, not of
rational debate.”
