Should have used a sledgehammer instead, probably would have just gotten a fineÂ

£10 says the vehicle he owns is perfectly ulez compliant.

They do seem to get more upset by bombs than simple disk cutters

No doubt certain political figures will be going to visit him in the clink like they did with that woman who was inciting murder over the internet

Interesting that the security services never picked up on this guy before he managed to build and detonate an IED
If he had been in mind too he could have killed or wounded many people if this took place in a crowded area, going by the damage to the van pictured and blast radius

My Ford focus from 1999 is compliant. It’s ridiculous. Ulez isn’t a big deal

The bomb went off a full minute and a forty seconds after he set the fuse. It was 6:45 in the evening. Its only luck that stopped anyone getting killed.
He could get anything from three years to life imprisonment for this. Given that it took over two years to convict him I’m guessing he did not plead guilty. He seems to have acted alone, so there’s no plea deal or shifting of responsibility. Rees also encourged others to break cameras, which is an aggravating factor. Plus he had those illegal stun guns, suggesting he was planning more crimes.
The only thing in the sentencing guidelines that might save him from a life sentence, is if its a first offence, and its not a hate crime in the sense that he’s not targeting a particular group of people.
