Jihadi John

[Gromit]

// MI5 and police came into contact at least a dozen times with the man identified yesterday as Jihadi John before he was able to flee Britain for Syria, it emerged last night.

The security services made a botched attempt to “turn” Mohammed Emwazi after he was first intercepted when they feared he was trying to join a Somali terrorist group six years ago.

However, Emwazi, who grew up in west London and is likely to have been radicalised in this country, rejected the advances and slipped out of the country, despite being on a terrorist watch list, to become one of the world’s most wanted men. The 26-year-old computer programmer has now murdered at least five Western hostages. //

We shouldn't really but surprised, but MI5 knew exactly what this man was, and apparently he was able to leave the country despite being on a terrorist watch list.
Do you think letting islamic jihadists leave the country is a deliberate policy?

now we know who he is, can we stop calling him "jihadi john"?

serious though this is, I can't but help associating the name with a character from a song by graham fellowes:-

#Gordon is an infidel, etc #

I think I've finally cracked. In the course of studying various jihadists in this country I've immersed myself in The Guardian, The Independent and even the Liberty website. I feel dirty now. However, a recurring theme is their lionising of all the gentle souls our wretched security services have prevented from travelling. And all of them were only trying to bring aid and succour to their put upon Muslim brothers. You'd have to be very hard hearted, or cynical, not to cry. ;)

I was right. Yasmin Liar Brown just confirmed it was all our fault on TV.

The header may say 'Jihadi John' jno, but the question is




Do you think letting islamic jihadists leave the country is a deliberate policy?

And CAGE the human rights peeps also think it is the states fault.

If it is not a deliberate policy then it definitely should be in my book. Lets get them in one place so we can Nuke the lot.

Perhaps CAGE would like to pop over to Syria on a one way ticket to be with their brothers if they are so wonderful.

But let's remember Mr John is only a stage player, it is Mr Big and his (wont be women - they would not allow that!) we need to find and kill.

// Boris Johnson said the Government had made a mistake to replace the control orders regime, which allowed the relocation of terror suspects, with the less-restrictive Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (Tpims).

He told the BBC:

I do think that was a mistake, we are now back on the right track.

The politicians who made that mistake need to think very carefully about why they did it and I think the benefit of the doubt was, I'm afraid, given too much to those who wish us serious harm. //

I am not saying anything as whatever I say is too bitter for few.
