    Fahrenheit 451

    Or is it 1984?

    Manchester girl, 16, pleads guilty to terror charges - BBC News

    A teenage girl has pleaded guilty to two terror offences including possessing "recipes for explosives" and a bomb-making guide.

    The 16-year-old, from Manchester, admitted the charges at the city's Magistrates' Court. She was arrested in April following an investigation by the North West Counter Terrorism Unit. The inquiry also led to the arrest of a boy, 14, who admitted involvement in a plot to attack police in Australia. The court heard that phone data retrieved by police showed the pair exchanged more than 2,000 WhatsApp messages a day before being arrested. No evidence was found that the girl was aware or played any part in the Anzac Day plot or any plan to harm others or incite terrorism in the UK or elsewhere, the court was told.

    Anarchist Cookbook

    The girl, who cannot be named, admitted two counts of possessing a document containing information of a kind likely to be of use to a person preparing or committing an act of terrorism. She used her school's IT system to search for information on Jihadi John, the so-called Islamic State (IS) group and images of Michael Adebolajo, who killed Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich in 2013.

    Analysis of her mobile phone found instructions for producing a timed circuit, a document about DIY bomb-making and the Anarchist Cookbook 2000. The girl also had images of guns, knives and grenades. Photos of a dead child and an execution were also recovered, the court heard.

    The judge warned her that his sentencing options would include "immediate custody".
    That's good then.

    Do I dare google "Anarchist Cookbook" to find out what it is?

    This would have never happened under Corbyn!

    That's right, won't happen because those who try to do it will be send for re-edukation to his friends in Hezbollah. A week or two in their boot camp would do.

      Seriously, people should not be jailed just on the basis of what they downloaded or searched - only if they tried to make bomb etc.

        It used to be (late 90's) a "book" on how to make tennis ball bombs from match heads, how to annoy staff at mcdoanlds, mostly stuff that would be called pranks.

            On that logic, people should only be jailed after blowing up a building, not planning it

              I accuse Goody SimonMac.

              I've probably got some old electronics book with instructions on how to produce a timer circuit.

                https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anarchist_Cookbook

                At the time of its publication, one Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memo described The Anarchist Cookbook as "one of the crudest, low-brow, paranoiac writing efforts ever attempted".

                  The Anarchist Cookbook has been around since the 1960s, circulating underground. I vaguely remember glancing at it online back in the 1990s.

                  By all accounts, as it was cobbled together by various ill-informed hippies, weirdoes, and Citizen Smith-type revolutionaries over the years, it's an extremely bad idea to follow any of its instructions on making, handling, and deploying explosive devices, as you're extremely likely to blow yourself up before you get very far
