James Farrell was charged under the Terrorism Act for sharing a video of how to make a replica sub-machine gun
A Glasgow man who joined a far-right online group and shared a video on how to make a replica sub-machine gun has admitted terror charges.He posted offensive comments and photos about black and Jewish people and then posted a clip on how to make "the ultimate DIY machine pistol".The ex-security guard was identified by a police operation investigating Oaken Hearth.
This was said to have been a "direct or indirect encouragement" to the "commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism".The court heard that Farrell hooked up with the group via the chat app Telegram in March 2021, with the user name Jabz. The court heard "by solely following" the instructions, a non-firing replica sub-machine pistol could be made.
However, prosecutor Graeme Jessop told the court: "Any replica built using these instructions would be intimidating to anyone that was presented with it.Farrell remained a member, but his replies eventually became "few and far apart".
