This is Staffordshire report on the hearing at North Staffordshire Magistrates' Court:
The husband of BNP city councillor Melanie Baddeley and his nephew have avoided being sent to prison after admitting growing cannabis in rooms concealed in a lock-up garage.
Baddeley told police both he and Peters liked to smoke cannabis but had recently been receiving poor quality drugs.
After the hearing Baddeley's wife, BNP city councillor Melanie - who contested the Stoke North seat - in the General Election, told The Sentinel she had no comment to make.
Given the BNP is anti-drugs and suggests capital punishment for drug dealers, this is a shocking contradiction. I can only assume that these two are hopeless young men who turn to crime and drugs in a desperate attempt to give their lives meaning (quote from BNP General Election 2005 manifesto).
