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.

The same way you demonstrate intent in any other crime — the totality of the circumstances and other privatice evidence as to intent, motive, and state of mind.

It was probably a text message and context
