BBC News is reporting...

Quote:
A British teenager who is accused of possessing material for terrorist purposes has appeared in court.

The 17-year-old, who was arrested in the Dewsbury area of West Yorkshire on Monday, was given bail after a hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

It is alleged he had a copy of the "Anarchists' Cookbook", containing instructions on how to make home-made explosives.

His next court hearing has been set for 25 October.

The teenager faces two charges under the Terrorism Act 2000.

The first charge relates to the possession of material for terrorist purposes in October last year.

The second relates to the collection or possession of information useful in the preparation of an act of terrorism.

He stood in the dock wearing a baggy, blue hooded top and only spoke to confirm his name and date of birth.

After the 40-minute hearing, the teenager was released on bail under several conditions.

A second 17-year-old who is facing similar charges has already been remanded in custody and will also appear at the Crown Court on 25 October.

material for terrorist purposes?
I wonder if that is defined anywhere at all.

That's incredibly worrying.
That document is passed around on the internet like the flu... not only it is useful for numerous reasons: getting rid of a bad government or fighting an invading army... but youngsters want to rebel.
And he's only around a year younger than me, but I'd receive a bigger punishment if I had it and was caught with it.
Makes you want to be more careful about what you say.

More and more, thoughts, ideas, mere knowledge is being criminalized. Thought police are real, apparently.

BNP racists get kinder treatment then the 17 year old rebel... They get charged under the 1883 Explosive Substances Act.

So mere knowledge is not the crime, opinion is.
