Right-wing extremist admits terrorism offences
BBCA right-wing extremist has admitted encouraging terrorism and sharing a manifesto by Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik.
Ivan Jennings, 46, from Stafford, incited others to emulate a terrorist and discussed Molotov cocktails and "killing migrants when they arrive on their boats", Leicester Crown Court previously heard.
On Monday, he pleaded guilty to encouraging terrorism between 15 August and 14 November 2024 as well as dissemination of a terrorism publication on 21 August 2024.
Jennings denied possession of a document for terrorist purposes - The Great Replacement by Brenton Tarrant - on November 14 2024 but Judge Andrew Lockhart KC said that count would lie on the file at sentencing.
Tarrant is white supremacist who killed 51 people at two mosques in New Zealand.
A court previously heard Jennings was a member of a number of extreme right-wing social media chat groups, including on Telegram.
The 46-year-old remains on conditional bail and is due to be sentenced on 4 September.
