British authorities like to pretend that there is equal terror threat coming from both jihadis and “right-wing extremists.” That leads to a diversion of resources that could be used to fight jihadis, and the persecution of innocent people, such as the politician Paul Weston, who was arrested for publicly reading Winston Churchill’s remarks about Islam.
The really insidious aspect of this, however, is that for years, Leftist and Islamic supremacist spokesmen have been claiming that any opposition to jihad terror that involved honest discussion of its motivating ideology was “far-right propaganda.” In light of that, what Amber Rudd is essentially saying here is that if you read jihadi websites or counter-jihad websites, you could face fifteen years in prison.
The British government claims to want to fight against jihad terror, but it is most energetic in fighting against those who are actually fighting against jihad terror.
Amber Rudd: viewers of online terrorist material face 15 years in jail (the Guardian):
People who repeatedly view terrorist content online could face up to 15 years behind bars in a move designed to tighten the laws tackling radicalisation the home secretary, Amber Rudd, is to announce on Tuesday.
A new maximum penalty of 15 years’ imprisonment will also apply to terrorists who publish information about members of the armed forces, police and intelligence services for the purposes of preparing acts of terrorism.
The tightening of the law around viewing terrorist material is part of a review of the government’s counter-terrorism strategy following the increasing frequency of terrorist attacks in Britain this year.
“I want to make sure those who view despicable terrorist content online, including jihadi websites, far-right propaganda and bomb-making instructions, face the full force of the law,” said Rudd.
Just like ‘far-left’ can be anything they want it to mean to include changing from day to day and minute to minute. This is exactly the premise of the society described in Orwell’s 1984.

Indeed.
Even at FR. As you will see if you go back and look at my post.
Even FR knuckles under to globalist law.
>> to tighten the laws tackling radicalisation
While the voyeuristic aristocracy is free to indulge its malicious intent permitting Islam to rape the country.
I heard about this originally, about the Jihadism and followed it closely, I didn’t know this about the “far-right propaganda” part though and that sets me against this if this is an accurate description.
