Just FYI, assuming this is a legit link (I'm not checking). You can get into legal trouble here in the UK for downloading this book onto your hard drive. At a minimum it's presence on your hard drive can be used against you in a criminal trial.
- generalizations 4y agoChecked for you. It's legit. It's too bad that the UK is so locked down.
- boomskats 4y agoIt's ok, the UK is only going to get better.
- danuker 4y agoHow do you know?
- bombolo 4y agoHe's going to make some anarchy real soon.

- phpisthebest 4y agoIf you think UK today is "rock bottom" then you really need to study both history, and the current state of other nations...
- SideburnsOfDoom 4y agoPeople fleeing under shelling from their destroyed apartment blocks in Syria or eastern Ukraine after weeks without fresh food, electricity, health care or running water, leaving newly dead relatives and live pets behind are at rock bottom. The UK isn't there yet. Getting closer, but not there yet.
- lampshades 4y agoSeems to me it’s only getting worse.
- IndySun 4y agoThe title appears under "Collecting or possessing information", section 7.25, but presumably having a copy would be evidence against along with other nefarious activities.

- PaulRobinson 4y agoIt is not in itself an offence to possess this document on your hard drive in the UK
- ndsipa_pomu 4y agoI'm also in the UK and a friend brought up the illegality of it once, when we were discussing it, so I ended up having a look and it's freely available and sold by Amazon.co.uk, so I think your fears are exaggerated. There's an instance where two teenagers were charged with possession of it, but were found innocent: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/7685636.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bradford/7685636.stm However, if you're also involved in terrorist activities, then possession of it could count against you.
- Spooky23 4y agoProbably depends on context. Possession of little plastic bags can enhance drug charges.

- sbaiddn 4y agoWhy not assume that illegal, fake, stolen, etc goods are easily available on Amazon?
- kypro 4y agoI was trying to find a balance between not exaggerating the risk, while also letting people know that you have to be a little careful when viewing / downloading this in the UK. If you have cloud backup enabled and you download this then expect to be put on a watch list. If you share this link publicly on social media then expect to be visited by the police. It might not happen of course, but you should expect it. And you've already been in trouble with the authorities for posting something politically incorrect on social media then possession of this book could quite easily be used against you.
- autoexec 4y agoEven if the risk of getting caught and sentenced is minimal the fact that it can be used against you is enough to be a concern. If nothing else it indicates a problem with UK law that should be solved and the fact that children have gotten caught up in it should worry everyone who cares about their freedom.
- bnralt 4y agoGood point. This BBC article said that a man was sentenced to two year in prison for having a copy of it on his computer[1]. [1] https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-60051861 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-60051861
- ThrowawayTestr 4y agoTwo years for downloading terrorist fan fiction. What a joke of a country.
