It shows the awful danger of the prejudicial nickname given him by Kerbai.<br />This is how the Gutter Press works: it loads up the story with insinuations and extremely loose "dots" for the reader to join to produce a whole that is not necessarily the truth which may be much more mundane. The British media has been descending into the sewer like this at an alarming rate and it's quite depressing that readers can be so gormlessly influenced.<br />But maybe it's just another hapless Times' hack dispatched to covertly beef up the tale on Zelo.<br />Arnold also makes the same depressing mistake that charges and claims that are yet to be tested in court are by their nature true simply because they have been made.<br />Have these two not taken a blinD bit of notice over the past 2 decades of how our security services have perverted the truth for a variety of reasons, in one case to justify us destroying Iraq and 100,000s of it's people let alone how we ably assisted in breaking up the fragile ME?<br />Sam Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294364000748130992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-55009847574280551302017-11-14T15:40:10.434+00:002017-11-14T15:40:10.434+00:00Ok, we've heard what he WASN'T doing trave...Ok, we've heard what he WASN'T doing travelling to an area which was being overrun by barbaric religious fruitcakes while being a convert to the religion in whose name the murderous bastards claim to be acting. <br />But that leaves a bit of a hole in the story. The shape of the hole is: so-what-WAS-he-doing-travelling-to etc etc? Having ANYTHING to do with IS is not the kind of thing to be put down to youthful exuberance, nor is it the kind of thing open to polite legal notions of is-there-proof-he-did-anything-illegal?<br />What do he and his parents claim he was doing as a young muslim convert travelling to a place that IS had called on young muslim converts to travel to in order to assist with their raping and beheading activities? <br />I'd like there to be a perfectly innocent explanation, but I haven't yet heard one.

Yeah, right.
..."Security correspondent".<br /><br />Yeah, right.<br /><br />Gives a whole new meaning to the term "gobshite Murdoch coward and mouthpiece for the 'intelligence' services".<br /><br />Any "award" given to somebody like that is as worthless as the recipient.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-12985611405938210632017-11-14T13:02:09.726+00:002017-11-14T13:02:09.726+00:00His parents are awaiting trial charged with fundin...His parents are awaiting trial charged with funding terrorism.
