    Have I heard correctly?  When  reporting on the beheading of a journalist, the BBC claimed that you can receive a jail sentence for viewing internet material that incites terrorism?

    Replace 'terrorism' with 'revolution'. How far off are we from being censored?

    Probably not as far as certain people might like to think. Certainly it is within the realm of imagination that the 'parliamentary' smear of the SPGB could be removed at a swipe with the outlawing of the SPGB. Remember this from a couple of years ago?http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2011/jul/31/westminster-police-anarchist-whistleblower-adviceStill probably wouldn't be allowed a stall at the Anarchist bookfair as it would no longer exist. I'd still be annoyed if we were denied a stall at an underground illegal anarchist bookfair.

    Thanks for the link to the Guardian. I like it. The police:'anarchist don't like us and think we are undesirable, they think we suppress them  –  so report them to us! "What should you do if you discover an anarchist living next door? Dust off your old Sex Pistols albums and hang out a black and red flag to make them feel at home? Invite them round to debate the merits of Peter Kropotkin's anarchist communism versus the individualist anarchism of Emile Armand? No – the answer, according to an official counter-terrorism notice circulated in London last week, is that you must report them to police immediately."
