From here:

A BNP candidate for next month’s Welsh assembly elections has been charged with a public order offence, after police were passed a video appearing to show him burning a copy of the Koran.

Sion Owens, 41, was named as a party candidate for the South Wales West regional list last week.

He is due to appear at Swansea magistrates’ court on Monday.

Let this be a lesson to anyone feeling inclined to do something unpleasant to a religious text: forget about the Koran, rip up a Bible and shove it in your knickers – it will probably earn you taxpayer funding.

The BNP may be an odious organisation, but I can’t think of a better way for the British legal establishment to give it a boost than by arresting one of its members for burning a Koran in his own garage – that is where the conflagration occurred – under the pretext of a Public Order Offence.

The charge has been withdrawn for the moment because of lack of evidence, although “further proceedings will ensue”. And if they do, it will be a sign to that very select group of rabid, head-hacking Muslim nut cases that they are on the right track and should, at the slightest pretext, keep on hacking.
