    I guess you watched the entire interview on Inside Out West to see that he came across as a credible defendant?

    PS Oh dear, I'll probably be arrested for Googling it.

    "It's not actually technically against the law to have it, but when they're arresting you on suspicion of commission and preparation of acts of terror it becomes a thing because it can be argued that there's a possibility it could be used in terrorism and because they couldn't get me on anything else," Mr Walker said.

    To be in prison, or not to be in prison

    Originally posted by BBC News
    A man told by a judge to read classic literature after being found guilty of a terrorism offence will be jailed after a suspended sentence was quashed.

    Ben John, who police described as a white supremacist, was given a two-year suspended sentence in August.

    The 22-year-old was convicted of having a copy of the Anarchist Cookbook on a computer hard drive.

    The Court of Appeal ruled the original sentence was unlawful and ordered John to serve two years in prison.
    Probably less Jane Austen, but he might get up to some dickens.
