Far right ‘mimicking video games to lure middle class children to terrorism’

Met counter-terror chief says relatively well-educated children' being lured by content based on first-person shooter games

Children from middle class backgrounds are being lured into extreme rightwing terrorism with online content based on violent video games shaped to indoctrinate them, Britain's most senior counter-terrorism officer has said.

Assistant commissioner Matt Jukes said said that 19 out of 20 children aged under 18 who were arrested last year for terrorism offences were linked to an extreme rightwing ideology.
