An extremist who amassed an "armoury" at his home and discussed launching an attack on a local LGBT group has been jailed for 10 years.

A court heard Alan Edward, 55, from Falkirk who had nearly 28,000 followers on social media, believed in white supremacy and openly expressed racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic views.
