BY MARGARET DAVIS ABOUT a third of explicit images of kids found online by a watchdog are selfies, figures show.

The Internet Watch Foundation took action over 124,605 images of child abuse found online between January and November 2019, of which 37,112, were self-generated.

Tensions escalated between Miller and Bennett after he built a kennels complex – with no planning permission – in front of his neighbour’s home in Lanarkshir­e.

The threats came a year after another neighbour’s car at the group of homes at Brae Farm, near Chapelton, was burnt out. Police believe that may have been a case of mistaken identity, with Bennett’s car the target.

Bennett escaped with just a £1000 fine, plus an extra £200 fine, for failing to turn up at
