For comparison, the UK also gives 15-year sentences for serial rape. Orwell is spinning in his grave.

God damn it Britain.

Ironbite-the fuck is going on with you?

Askold:
a) key words "REPEATEDLY viewing" so someone who accidentally sees an ISIS video is not going to get in trouble. The point is to go after people who can be proven to have absorbed a lot of terrorist propaganda and teaching materials.

b) Even now you can be arrested for having the same 15 gigabytes of ISIS videos and training material on your computer, VHS or paper storage or whatever. They think that there's a loophole if watching the same material on Youtube or Liveleak isn't punishable.

c) UP TO 15 years, not a minimum.

d) It's a stupid law and they are going to have a lot of trouble trying to enforce it.

Not just Tory, Tory/DUP. (Or at least Tory with DUP support through a confidence and supply agreement or something.)

Problem is that the Tories would rather have the DUP have them by the balls than call another election which Labour would very likely win in a landslide.
