Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has been released from a probation hostel to his family home amid concern that the banned extremist group that he led is posing a renewed threat to national security.

In the first photograph of Choudary since the convicted terrorist returned home under licence (above), he smiled for the camera as he embarked on a routine trip to the shops to buy sweets and top up an electricity pre-payment card.

Choudary scrutinised the shop receipt, which he will have to submit to the authorities after his assets were frozen under United Nations sanctions.

Anjem Choudary is a benefits sponger who refuses to get an honest job.

If he returns to his old ways he will be vehemently opposed by the Britain First movement.
