A Merseyside man has been jailed for terrorism offences.
Scott Mason, from Rainhill, became a person of interest for counter-terrorism police due to his "extreme right-wing, racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic views". The 36-year-old was previously arrested following a report of domestic assault in October 2021.
As part of an investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing North West (CTPNW), Mason's mobile phone was seized and examined. It was found to contain step-by-step instructions for producing home explosives as well as extreme pornographic images.
