Far-right British National Party leader tweets gay couple's home address, urges protests

Source: The Independent (UK)

Police launched an investigation into Nick Griffin last night after the BNP leader published the address of a gay couple on Twitter and urged activists to demonstrate outside their home.

Michael Black, 64, and his partner John Morgan, 59, were yesterday awarded £3,600 after winning a landmark legal battle against the owners of a bed and breakfast in Berkshire who refused to let them share a double room.

But hours later, Mr Griffin used Twitter to publish the couple's Cambridgeshire address. "A British Justice team will come up to Huntington (sic) & give you a bit of drama by way of reminding you that an English couple's home is their castle. Say No to heterophobia!" Mr Griffin wrote.

... Mr Griffin denied he was urging his far-right supporters to break the law, but last night his Twitter account was suspended. "We are not just against them, we are looking for the judge as well – he's a bloody fool. We are going to wake them up in the morning with loud music and leaflet their neighbours to tell them what a nasty bunch of bigots they are," he said.
