  Clicked a few times on a wrong link? That's 15 years in the can for you, you filthy terrorist. If this idiot has her way the future looks about as exciting as Auschwitz.

  "possessing information likely to be useful to a terrorist" That's extremely broad. It could cover how-to material on almost anything with destructive potential, from guns to trucks to software. The UK is moving to reduce the rights of its subjects as part of Brexit. [1] "UN high commissioner for human rights recently issued strong words against May’s call for human rights to be overturned if they were to “get in the way” of the fight against terror”."

  Terrorism now. Whats next, "unsavoury religious texts unapproved by the state"? This is a slippery slope, people. But we already know that the UK is well and truly, deeply, sequestered in the abyss.

    You don't need a "next", the definition is broad enough to include anything a government would like to prosecute right now.

  Amber Rudd is an imbecile.
