FURY erupted yesterday as British National Party leader Nick Griffin and a fellow activist were cleared of inciting racial hatred.
The pair were jeered and abused by irate anti-racist campaigners as they emerged from court.
Griffin, 46, called the outcome a victory for freedom.
But last night Labour MP Shahid Malik said: “I do not think freedom of speech gives you the right to persecute, frighten and make people ill.”
And Weyman Bennett of the Unite Against Fascism group. said: “It is a tragic day for justice that Nazis can hide behind freedom of speech in order to attack democracy and to encourage racism.”
Griffin and Mark Collett, 24, faced race hate charges over speeches made to BNP supporters at meetings in West Yorks — secretly filmed and screened on BBC documentary The Secret Agent.
In one, **Griffin said white women were living in fear of being raped by Asian men.
Collett, of Rothley, Leics, was filmed saying people were “living in hell” because of rapes and muggings by Asians.**
Griffin was even seen telling supporters he could get seven years in jail if he made the remarks in public, Leeds Crown Court heard.
Prosecutor Rodney Jameson QC said Griffin had tried to “build fear and resentment of Asian people”.

Racism victorious again on the shores of Europe must make these Westerners proud of their system where people can racially abuse others and nothing can be done against it i am sure the ohioguys and semiholes of this world are very proud of these racist fools in the Uk at this time!
