UK Counter-Terrorism (merged thread)

A joint CT police and Security Service (MI5) statement in late March:https://www.counterterrorism.police....terror-threat/

Two reports on a recent CT trial where the defendant was a white extremist or extreme right wing activist:https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ght-plot-to-mp and a critical viewpoint on policing the XRW by the Hope not hate charity involved:https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...-hope-not-hate

Of note is that the catalyst and evidence for this came from a XRW activist who defected to a charity that fights extremism.

Then last week reports on two trials, one concluded and the second of a sixteen year old that continues:https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...ected-revenge/ and https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-47854783
