BNP Merseyside boss is city gangster

The Merseyside organiser of the British National Party is a violent
Liverpool gangster who has been quizzed by police over several murders.
Yet not only is a senior BNP organiser, he is also a personal minder to the
BNP leader Nick Griffin.
The involvement of Joey Owens in such a high position in the party exposes
the lie that the BNP is the party of law and order.
Owens has been in trouble with the law on a number of occasions. In 1982,
while a junior British kick-boxing champion, he was imprisoned for sending
razor blades in the post to members of Liverpool's Jewish community.
He was jailed again in 1994 for carrying CS gas and knuckle-dusters.
But then his criminal activities got a lot more serious. In 1997 Owens was
implicated in the horrific murder of Stephen Cole, a former Liverpool
footballer and club doorman. Cole was literally hacked to death in a city-
centre pub in front of his wife and friends. The killing was revenge for
the stabbing of one of Owens's close friends and was part of the city's
notorious "door wars", which claimed a number of lives.
According to the prominent Liverpool gangster Charlie Seiga, "Joey was
lucky. Witnesses failed to pick him out in an identification parade."
Owens formed a close friendship with Seiga, affectionately nicknamed
"killer" by the police, and the two remain close friends.
"Joey Owens was very different from the rest," remembers Seiga. "Although
young and in his thirties, he had that sort of 'old-school' feel about him.
First his manners were impeccable, and the other good asset he possessed
was his intelligence. He also showed a lot of respect to his elders."
But Seiga also knew Owens to be a man of extreme violence. "You could be
deceived by Joey's appearance - blue eyes, fair hair, quietly spoken - you
just would not be able to dream of what this man was capable of."
Another close associate of Owens was Lee Jones, a former boxer. Jones's
promising career had been cut short after he lost an eye in another
gangland feud some time earlier. Jones later killed one of his attackers
and was convicted of manslaughter.
"These two men, Joey and Lee, are well known to all of the Liverpool
gangsters and club doormen," says Seiga. "And if it came to violence, just
don't f*** with them because if they are on your case, especially Joey, you
would have to prepare to face the consequences afterwards."
In November 1997, Owens, Seiga and Jones were arrested for the murder of
another Liverpool gangster, George Bromley.
Bromley was murdered while visiting Seiga's house. He was shot three times
in the head at close range in what local police described as a "gangland
execution".
Owens and Seiga were charged with murder after Owens's fingerprints were
found on the newspaper that Bromley was holding at the time of his death.
The two men, together with Jones, were also charged with threatening to
kill Bromley's best friend. Owens was alleged to have said, "If you don't
stop the rumours you'll get three in the head like George".
Owens never made it to court. Days before the trial was to begin the main
prosecution witness disappeared, never to be seen again. Charlie Seiga, in
his autobiography Killer, described this as "a small miracle".
With the main witness gone and the three all denying the charges, the case
against Owens was dropped.
Owens continues to mix with other Liverpool criminals despite his high
profile in the BNP. One of his closest associates was recently arrested and
charged with possession of drugs worth £220,000.
Another is carrying on an increasingly violent dispute with a rival Sunday
League football team. A recent fight saw one man struck with an iron bar
and the promise of even greater violence.
But Owens has not had things all his own way. Only a few weeks ago he was
shot in the shoulder - the latest instalment in a long-running gangland
feud.
Owens has made several enemies in the Liverpool gang scene. One is a city
club owner who got rather annoyed when Owens shot up his house. When Owens
was admitted to Liverpool's University hospital with his recent gunshot
wound, the two bumped into each other in A&E. Owens was forced over the
counter and strangled.
Terrified hospital staff called the police but Owens refused to make a
complaint.
Owens's criminal links are well known within the BNP, even by its leader.
His recent shooting has been the subject of much internal party discussion.
Yet despite his known gangland links, Owens remains a central part of
Griffin's BNP.
"Owens is an animal and a very violent one at that," one Merseyside police
officer commented to Searchlight. "What does that say about the BNP, to
have someone like that involved?"

Wow, and this filth that wants to bring back the death penalty

with at the BNP. Nick Griffin can be proud and safe. Never mind the gouged
out eyes, baseball bat beatings, disappearing prosecution witnesses, blood
baths, and other 'patriotic deeds' that this good soul leaves in his wake.

I can see you're not terribly familiar with the Scouse language. of feet
and fists. We used to be scared to go down Scotty Road and near the
docks....terrifying. They used to say that the police were worse than
anyone else and there were always arms and legs sticking out of the stacks
of grain piled up in the nether regions
Some of the bodies that arrived in A&E were so dirty they had to be
scrubbed with ether...yet funnily enough they used to be the most likeable
people under the sun...funny, witty, vital in an unusual way, warm and
very friendly but always ready for a fight:-) Especially the Irish
contingent. I think some of them just find fighting highly entertaining.
There are dogs like that!
The Israelis are doing the only thing they can do. How can someone
withoutimaginations conceive of what its like to live in an area where
your child may get blown up on a bus to school. or older ones in a cafe or
dance hall celebrating a wedding of two young people.The ultimate swear
word some people know is "Nazi" and it is applied without any meaning to
anyone or anything that suits at the time.
What they should be doing is applying that word not only to the
Palestinian Arabs but to those in the Sudan area where also a dreadful
scenario follows in the wake of their activities. The only difference is
that they are not as organized as those on whom the name was previously
bestowed!
