UK: 4 Year Old Boy Referred To Counter-Extremism Task Force

National File: A four-year-old boy was referred to Prevent, the UK government’s counter extremism task force, over comments he made at school about playing Fortnite.

The boy was allegedly overheard during an after-school club session talking about “guns and bombs” that were apparently in his father’s shed, and was referred to the Prevent scheme, which is the UK government’s counter-extremism strategy, designed to tackle prospective terrorists, and de-radicalize them before anything happens.

However, according to The Guardian, transcripts of a conversation with the worker at the club in September 2019 clearly highlighted that the reference to weapons was to do with Fortnite. The boy had been to his father’s house the previous night, and had been enthusiastically recounting watching his cousin playing the game to his friends. more

  1. Late to the show here. Pops flew 36 missions straight in a B24. Of all places they started out in Benghazi. Then moved to England. It’s a made for TV movie. But I’ll highlight this. Dad hated the English. Respected the Germans. While in Benghazi, chasing Rommel, they’re airbase had a ton of Germans surrendering with no one to watch them. A great story. His air crew found them trustworthy. When they moved to England they couldn’t say the same about the English.
