Loner bullied at school went on to become 'literal Nazi' who posted vile racist hate online and downloaded terrorist documents

A loner who was bullied at school posted vile racist hate online and downloaded two terrorist documents. Extremist Mason Yates, from Cheshire, described himself as a 'literal Nazi'.

He was first referred to the government's counter-extremism Prevent strategy when he was aged just 13. Now Yates, 19, has been jailed for 30 months.

Police found copies of '100 Deadly Skills', which provides instructions on knife attacks and making explosive devices, and the 'White Resistance Manual', giving directions on how to carry out 'mass murder' in advance of a 'race war', on his phone.
