Nick Griffen, the leader of the far-right racist British National Party, pled not guilty on July 21 to four charges of stirring up racial hatred as a result of the July 15 BBC screening of a documentary Secret Agent, which documented an investigation into the BNP. BNP activist Mark Collett also pled not guilty. While the documentary showed BNP members bragging about beating up Asians and putting feces in letterboxes, the charges relate to public speeches made by Collett and Griffen.
