Former councillor jailed for disemminating terrorism literature

A former councillor who discussed "killing migrants when they arrive on their boats" and shared a manifesto by Norwegian mass killer Anders Breivik has been jailed.

Ivan Jennings, 46, from Stafford, had previously admitted encouraging terrorism and disseminating a terrorism publication.

Leicester Crown Court heard Jennings was an active participant in several extreme right-wing Telegram groups and identified a Pakistan Independence Day event as a potential target.

The father-of-four was jailed for five years and three months.
