Yes, I’m somewhat late with this story. But DSD, on the Nick Griffin page, said “The worst that Europe’s Muslims are suffering is people maybe looking at fully covered women in a bit of a funny way.” So I needed to find some other examples. Before going further, I should concede to DSD that there are no “torch-waving mobs” in this story. Let’s hope things never go that far.

Racist fire bomber Mark Bulman has pleaded guilty to trying to start a blaze at the Broad Street mosque (Oct 2006).

Bulman is sometimes called Bullock, according to this:

Condemned by their own words.

[...] in the last week we’ve seen a guy called Mark Bulman admit he tried to burn down Swindon’s Broad Street mosque earlier this year.

[...] When he was in court last week the case was adjourned – after his guilty plea – so he could have psychiatric tests and, after listening to him for a while, there can’t be much doubt about his mental state.

[...] But going back to hoisting people on their own petard, it’s more Bulman/Bullock’s relationship with the BNP which is illuminating.

Go back a couple of months, and you’ll find that his was not the first attempt made at defacing the mosque. A teenager called Michael Matthews tried to set fire to the same mosque, and graffitied the Sikh temple in Kembrey Street.

After he was sent down for it in January, a spokesman for the Swindon branch of the BNP said: “We don’t know anything about him.

“We just want to say that justice has been done and he deserves to be locked up for this attack on the Muslim community.”

The speaker? A certain Mark Bullock. Which tells you pretty much all you need to know about him, the BNP, and everything in between.
