IT APPEARS we now live in a state of constant terror threat. Arguably, in part, due to the lust for war by successive British governments. Almost weekly, we have media reports of another terror arrest and in the majority of cases, as in the most recent incident, those arrested on terror charges were all young men with one being 21 years old and two others just teenagers.
With the internet providing a gateway to a vast ocean of information, some of it true, most of it not, there is obviously a danger for young people in particular that they may be influenced by what they see, hear and who they communicate with online. Examples of this are plenty and require no further explanation from me.
