Paul Martin, 60, from Croydon is on trial at the Old Bailey accused of encouraging terrorism and collecting weapons for terrorist purposes. Police allege he posted over 16,000 messages on a Telegram group called The Resistance UK calling for explosives, serious violence and disruption to influence the government or intimidate the public. The group discussed Covid-19 and protests against pandemic restrictions, and Martin posted claims that vaccines were 'a poison designed to kill you off over a short period' and that the 'second jab' would be triggered by 5G masts, 'the kill shot'. Martin admitted possessing a stun gun, denied other charges, said he owned two crossbows 'purely for sport', and described two pistols found as 'commonly used in fairgrounds'.
"Originally, I suppose what I was thinking was that some would go straight away, then over a few years, they'd get 'turbo cancer',"
"It's a new expression I suppose. Normal cancer you get two or three years to live, but recently cancer has been appearing where you just get a few weeks to live."
