-

An anti-vaxxer who plotted to carry out terror attacks on critical national infrastruc­ture to topple the Government has been jailed for six-and-a-half years.

Oliver Lewin, 38, of Coalville, Leics , planned a series of attacks which included taking out motorways and firebombin­g TV transmitte­r masts.

He was one of 8,000 members of a group on the Telegram app called “The Resistance UK”.

Birmingham Crown Court heard that he intended to cause mass disruption to the country’s communicat­ion systems and travel infrastruc­ture because he was opposed to Boris Johnson’s government.
