A conspiracy theorist is facing jail after being found guilty of plotting terror attacks on critical national infrastructure in a bid to 'topple the British government'. Oliver Lewin, 38, planned a series of widespread coordinated attacks which included 'taking out' motorways and firebombing phone, radio and TV masts.
A court heard he wanted to cause mass disruption to the UK’s communication systems and travel infrastructure because he was deeply opposed to the Tory government. The former AV engineer believed the spread of coronavirus had 'triggered the emergence of a Chinese communist system' in Britain.
Lewin also became 'obsessed' with the idea the country was being controlled by 'Jewish elites reporting directly to Israel', jurors were told. So he set about trying to destabilise the government by stirring up a movement of like-minded individuals via the encrypted messaging site Telegram.
