Ugly face of racism: Neil Lewington planned to unleash terror campaign
Neil Lewington, 44, wanted to emulate his far-right heroes, Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh and Soho nail bomber David Copeland.
The unemployed electrician, of Tilehurst, Reading, kept video compilations about their murderous attacks at his home.
Police discovered a bomb factory in his bedroom after he was arrested by chance at Lowestoft railway station, Suffolk, for drunkenly abusing a female conductor.
When he was stopped and searched at the station in October last year he was found to be carrying components for two "viable improvised incendiary devices".
This man, who had strong if not fanatical right wing leanings and opinions, was on the cusp of embarking on a campaign of terrorism against those he considered non-British.
Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, at the Old Bailey
Anti-terror police then raided the home where he lived with his parents.
They found evidence that he planned to make tennis ball shrapnel bombs to target Asian families, along with detonators and explosives.
They also discovered a notebook entitled "Waffen SS UK members' handbook" with a logbook of drawings of electronics and chemical devices.
The link between his extremist views and interest in explosives was illustrated by a note reading "compressed thermite grenade vs Paki front door".
He also wrote a chilling "mission statement" in which he boasted of two-man hit squads attacking "non-British people" at random.

Armed and dangerous
Lewington told one woman that "the only good Paki was a dead Paki".
He was given an indeterminate sentence for public protection at the Old Bailey.
He was told he must serve at least six years in jail after being convicted of having explosives with intent to endanger life and preparing for terrorism.
Lewington was also found guilty of two charges of having articles for terrorism including weedkiller, firelighters and three tennis balls, two counts of having documents for terrorism, and one allegation of having explosives.
Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, said: "This man, who had strong if not fanatical right wing leanings and opinions, was on the cusp of embarking on a campaign of terrorism against those he considered non-British.

"In addition to his extreme views on race and ethnicity, the defendant had an unhealthy interest in bombers as well as bombings.
"He admired, and might soon have emulated, the bombers about whom he possessed two compilation video tapes, had he not been captured, albeit quite fortuitously."
Judge Peter Thornton said: "You are a dangerous man, somebody who exhibits emotional coldness and detachment.
"You would not have been troubled by the prospect of endangering somebody's life."

Waffen SS, this guy really was a loony, it's scary the folk who are out there.

Some proper weirdos on our streets. It's horrible to think that any of us could walk past someone like that on the street without knowing...

Still would go unheeded in Barnsley village centre where they would assume they had been 'over-run ' by over zealous traffic wardens talking with serbian accents or suchlike.

Plenty of places where he would melt into the background though in South Yorks sadly.
