'Lyrical terrorist' sentenced over extremist poetry


'Lyrical terrorist' sentenced over extremist poetry

"A 23-year-old former Heathrow shop assistant who called herself the "lyrical terrorist" and scrawled her extremist thoughts on till receipts has been handed a nine-month suspended jail sentence".

I don't think anti-terrorist legislation should be used against authors of bad poetry. In this case it is the authorities who are making a mockery of justice. At least the judge had the common sense not to go overboard in passing sentence.

Poetic injustice
