until now.

Not In The Newsfilter: Yesterday, two men
attended their pre-trial hearing at Preston Crown Court, accused of possession of explosive material. As previously
reported only in
local newspapers, Robert Cottage was in possession of 'what is believed to be a record haul of chemicals used in making home-made bombs', while a search of former
BNP candidate David Bolus Jackson's house 'uncovered rocket launchers, chemicals... and a nuclear biological suit'. Some
webloggers, and the
left-wing press, are wondering whether the story might have received more coverage if the suspected bomb-makers had been, say, Muslims. The BBC
blame reporting restrictions.
