He will be sentenced on 31 July and could face a maximum jail term of 14 years.

I'll take your word for it, but wouldn't it be fair to say 'some households massively more and more suspiciously than others'?
Mr Cottage has not denied that he had stuff in order to make bombs. He claims, IIRC, that he'd make the bombs come social breakdown and the onset of civil war.

Note the guilty plea chymaera.
the other issue is that , as the Griffin trial goes, it is hard to find an all white jury in parts of the north of england which doesnt already contain one BNP voter on it. you only need 2 more mugs who wont play the game and you get a hung jury. Both were guilty as hell BNP Terrorists,and walked on the main charges
anyone for Sharia law for fascists?

He's pleaded guilty - so he'll be sentenced, maybe to ordinary imprisonment, maybe to some secure mental institution lke Broadmoor.chymaera said:
But he won't be "sectioned". That is entirely unconnected with criminal conviction.

Given that he was not convicted of conspiracy to cause explosions and what the judge said (she seems to accept everything Cottage said about his crime), the sentence seems a little harsh, but I'm not really surprised. Letting him off with a non-custodial sentence would give the wrong message to other would-be bomb-makers and bomb-hoarders.

If he'd have been Muslim, he'd have been given life.
its a low sentance, but it looked like the judge bought the line that the weapons were for self defence (they were thunderflashes apparently)
One other thing- this conviction is attributable in part to the quite reasonably held terror fascists fear from militant antifascism. It may well have pushed this sadcase over the edge. If anything, another reason for the re-introduction of militant antifascism against individual nazis. A few more sadcases like him, and the BNP are going to end up getting banned.....
