He "has to return to court every four months to be tested on his reading, Judge Timothy Spencer QC said."

If he can Google "white supremacy," he can Google "Spark Notes."

Update from the Guardian: "Call for sentence review after neo-Nazi told to read classic literature.
"The attorney general’s office has been asked to review whether an unduly lenient sentence was handed to a neo-Nazi who was ordered to read classic literature such as Pride and Prejudice.
"Amid an outcry, a call for the case to be reviewed was made by the campaign group Hope Not Hate, which said the sentence was unduly lenient and sent a dangerous message at a time when the far right poses Britain’s fastest-growing terror threat.
"“The law officers have 28 days from sentencing to consider the case and make a decision,” [the attorney general's office] said.

So a judge's sentence decisions depend on what -- not annoying anybody?I think asking the question is fair enough. Would a Muslim extremist of Middle-Eastern ethnicity have received a similarly light sentence?
I know this isn't a very popular thing to say here, but there's no shortage of examples of white, middle-class folks getting off with a slap on the wrist in the UK. Obviously, such a thing would never happen in the US, where as we know everybody hates white people.

The judge just took his job seriously to give him the dickens.
