An ex army friend I know regularly makes explosives when he's too lazy to cart bulky stuff down the tip, I doubt the authorities would be amused

He is safe as long as he has not got that dreaded Anarchist cookbook!




P.S. The girl pleaded guilty which is probably why prosecution was successful.

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

On that logic people can be jailed for anything the police arbitrarily decide they might do. Have information on burglar alarms and home security? Must be a burglar. Look at porn? Must be a rapist. Visit CUK? Must be a tax evader. etc.

Did you see the result of the last UK General Election?

I am going to feel it next year.

only in scummy nazi states that's possible.

Where is evidence of her planning it? Having a text of any kind should not be sufficient to prosecute, only in scummy nazi states that's possible.

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

It was a text file from BBS's like &TOTSE that had basic chemistry in it, like drugs and simple explosives. I wonder when they will change education so we don't teach "them" how to make bombs...I remember in college being taught how to make fireworks, I doubt that happens anymore!

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.

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

Or is it 1984?

That's good then.

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".

[VectraMan]

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.

I accuse Goody SimonMac.

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

[SimonMac]

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

Is CUK Cookbook on the list of prohibited books yet?
