Teen's Terror Plot Uncovered in Supermarket

0:00On April 8th, a 21-year-old supermarket worker named Alfie Coleman got nabbed by MI5 in a Morrison's car park while trying to buy a pistol and ammo for a terrorist plot. This went down in 2023 after he spent months chatting online with folks he thought were fellow extremists.

Coleman, from great knotly in Essex, denies charges of prepping terrorist acts. Prosecutors paint him as a far-right militant accelerationist dead set on sparking a race war. He'd been deep in that world since age 17, hunting for weapons like knives sold online.

The old Bailey Trial rolls on, laying out how this quiet Tesco guy was boiling with racist hate underneath, all aimed at real violence with that gun. He never got.
