Two teenagers have been charged with terrorism offences following an investigation by the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command which was related to suspected extreme right-wing activity.
Rex Clark, 18, of Ilford, east London, and Sofija Vinogradova, 19, of Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, were both charged with preparation of terrorist acts, while Ms Vinogradova was also charged with two counts of collecting information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.
The pair have been remanded in custody and will appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.

Which if you're specifically providing it to a terroristfor an attack should be a crime. I assume that's what happened here... Though technically that's the crowns job to prove

Usually context. Y'know, how they retrieved the information they she have such information usually has context. How would they know it's from her if it was just a pamphlet with the times?
It was probably a text message and context

Great, the two police officers we have in the UK have done something! Time for them to have a six month break.
