Sidcup man convicted aover explosive attack on Ulez camera Kevin Rees's homemade bomb caused damage to vehicles and property including a child's bedroom.

This was a minor story on London news this morning - but suspect is a real cautionary (and alarming) tale of an older man getting radicalised online.

Dismantling an old HDD to extract the shiny coasters within was a lesson in Nuclear Semiotics: every time I saw a security seal I was like β€œooh I bet that’s important, I should open that.”
