I blame the parents..
 

Yes Terrible Case.

.....what on Earth...encouraging terrorism online and detailed bomb making, aside...?...‘ All but two of more than 30 videos of children, including boys, had been deleted and had included the most serious category of child sex abuse images.’....he should surely be regarded as a danger to the public....

His parents are rich and he's an A student though so he's fine.......

He must have had an excellent lawyer

best money could buy I would think

If he lived in the US he could become president in 4 or 5 decades :whistle:

I do actually agree with Kizzy though - this stuff doesn't spring up over night and whilst I believe that the parents were indeed "bewildered" and had no idea what he had been up to online... that is part of the problem. They weren't paying attention.

I understand the argument that he's 18 and thus likely to have his own life that they can't know the ins and outs of, but I would be VERY surprised if this hasn't been brewing unnoticed since his early teens.

The son of a House of Lords clerk no less, one rule for them and all that

no doubt..........

The typical flag waving ‘anti terror’ patriots are unsurprisingly quiet about this, where’s Tommy Robinson when you nee- oh

If this would have been a council estate kid they'd have thrown the book at him. (so they should, don't get me wrong)

The class system is a joke in this country though (i know it's bad elsewhere too). For example we knew this girl, was a friend of my cousin -

Wanted to be an actress for 5 mins, gets a few roles as a extra in BBC shows, and a couple of roles in Crimewatch reconstructions. Then wanted to be a singer, got a couple gigs as a backing singer on the Xfactor. Didn't get into a University because of her below par grades, a few strings are pulled and she's in (then, because of the 'stress' of it all, gets a pass to miss the first month of Uni so she can relax in a Australia). All this despite she had no acting or singing talent whatsoever, and was quite frankly thick as.....

Of course, her father was a Headmaster at the local Grammar School, and her mother worked for a big law firm in London.

You can't really talk,you only pop up in terror threads if they are committed by the right kind of terror...right being the operative word

if you are caught up in a terror attack they wont care what political leanings you have

Oh Cherie, it’s too early for your personal jibes today, sorry I don’t post in every single thread on the forum, I know my presence is a joy but people might get sick of me if I did

its not a jibe, its an accurate observation.
