A British judge has ordered a 21-year-old man who downloaded “white supremacist” documents on bomb-making and weaponry to read classic literature by Charles Dickens, Jane Austen and William Shakespeare to avoid jail.
Judge Timothy Spencer QC gave former Leicester student Ben John until January 4 to read classic works of literature, warning that he would make the young man “suffer” if he didn’t display sufficient knowledge of the books when he returns to court. John was also warned to stay away from right-wing material, which he promised to do, the Leicester Mercury reported.
