I wonder if Nazis and communists realize how alike they are?

What does that even have to do with this? Can I just quote the article and be done with it?

Neo-Nazi Martyn Gilleard has been found guilty of making bombs for a far-right terrorist campaign, after having previously admitted downloading thousands of images of child sexual abuse.

It's ironic that they vilify each other. That's all I'm trying to say.

The article not telling me, I Googled the guy's name, and still came up empty-handed: what actual punishment will be meted out (how long will his incarceration be, where, and under what circumstances?).

Will he thrown into a place where the prison population has other supremicists who will hone and refine his views and tactics? Such things happen in US prisons, do they in the UK?

I'd assume so. The sentencing and prison system needs a major overhaul.

Sentence is due today .

Well judges can sometimes have a sense of humor , one nazi who was stupid enough to accept a job from me got put in pentonville and had to do the whole stretch sectioned with the nonces for his own protection as having a white power tattoo on his neck made him a bit of a target even without the alledged links he had with David Copeland .
But given this current child porn conviction he will get put in with the nonces anyway .

So will he be put with other white supremacists ?
It depends on how many of the nonces are white supremacists .

Gotta love this guy's consistency and commitment in the face of the Court:

I am so sick and tired of hearing nationalists talk of killing Muslims, of blowing up mosques, of fighting back, only to see these acts of resistance fail to appear

...

But he denied that he had intended to hurt anyone with the nail bombs, arguing in court that he had only assembled them to give himself something to do.

PJ is pretty close to the truth, in that these people are largely role-playing fantasists. This particular one seems more dangerous, as he has more initiative than most. Nearly all "Neo-Nazis" are effectively foot-soldiers in their beloved "race war", they're not thinkers or leaders, but ideologically spoon-fed followers. I characterise most far-right organisations as composing mostly idiots, with one very intelligent man at the top pulling their strings - he may not even believe the ideology himself.

As to what happens to him - well, if it hadn't been for the paedo stuff, he probably would have ended up sharing a cell with a radical jihadi, but as Tribesy says, he's going to be sectioned with the nonces now.

Severe case of irony recently (and sorry don't have any links, I heard it on Radio 4 News) one BNP (that's the far-right "we're not racists, we just hate foreigners" British National Party) "activist" actually managed to get himself converted to Islam and became a radical jihadi whilst in a British jail. Who says incarceration can't transform lives
