This worrying online development was raised by John Whittingdale, a Conservative Member of Parliament, who asked Shaun Woodward , the British Secretary of State, if he was aware “of reports that dissident groups are using social networking sites, websites and blogs to recruit young people, some of whom may be as young as 13?”

Woodward replied: “I have been made aware of this, and the police are indeed investigating it.

“The site itself has vowed to |remove materials that it considers illegal, defamatory or fraudulent or that infringe or violate any |individual’s rights.

“There are clearly some legitimate concerns, and obviously the police will act if there is any evidence of activity of a criminal |nature going on.”
