BNP slammed over anti-Muslim Pac-Man spoof
Thursday, November 12, 2009
A British National Party official has been accused of racism over an anti-Muslim message posted on the internet. Mark Collett, the BNP's publicity director, created a spoof of the Pac-Man computer game with the caption "Sortin' out Muslims since 1980" and has uploaded it to a number of websites.
The image, which shows caricatures of Muslim women in veils being attacked by the computer character, is accompanied by a personal message from Collett on his Facebook page. He wrote: "Pac-Man knows how to deal with Muslims! I made this, I hope it makes you all smile! Feel free to send it out and spread the joy."
Collett was cleared in 2006 of inciting racial hatred after a jury heard he had told a meeting in Keithley: "Let's show these ethnics the door in 2004."
