Copeland maintained he had worked alone and had not discussed his plans with anyone . During police interviews , he admitted holding neo-Nazi views , and talked of his desire to spread fear and trigger a race war . He told police , " My main intent was to spread fear , resentment and hatred throughout this country ; it was to cause a racial war . " He said , " If you 've read '' The Turner Diaries '' , you know the year 2000 there 'll be the uprising and all that , racial violence on the streets . My aim was political . It was to cause a racial war in this country . There 'd be a backlash from the ethnic minorities , then all the white people will go out and vote BNP . " After his arrest , Copeland wrote to BBC correspondent Graeme McLagan , denying that he had schizophrenia , and telling McLagan that the " Zog " or Zionist Occupation Government was pumping him full of drugs in order to sweep him under the carpet . He wrote , " I bomb the blacks , Pakis , degenerates . I would have bombed the Jews as well if I 'd got a chance . " Ryan writes that Copeland 's first idea had been to bomb the Notting Hill Carnival , after seeing images of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics bombing . When asked by police why he had targeted ethnic minorities , he replied , " Because I do n't like them , I want them out of this country , I believe in the master race . " Whilst on remand , Copeland also wrote to crime writer Bernard O'Mahoney , who posed as a woman called Patsy Scanlon in the hope of duping Copeland into confessing . According to '' The Independent '' , the letters helped secure a conviction by giving prosecutors evidence about Copeland 's state of mind
