Jihadi Jack.

Was anyone listening to BBC Asian Network at around 10-ish? I was on. Talking about Jihadi Jack.

Here's my take...

Jihadi Jack is a middle-class, privately-educated guy his Mum & Dad named 'Jack Abraham Letts'.

Mum & Dad also said he had developed OCD - Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. As an excuse, no doubt - after all, they funded him all the way through his spiritual journey of murder.

Jihadi Jack went to Syria to - in his words, 'to spread the message of Allah'. He has gone on record saying he believes in the Sharia.

Jihadi Jack, when asked if he was a terrorist, stated: "Do you mean by the English government's definition, that
anyone that opposes a non-Islamic system and man-made laws? Then, of course, by that definition, I suppose they'd say I'm a terrorist. Khalas".

'Khalas' to those who don't know, means 'End of'.

My take is, that as a grown up, educated man, he made this decision, fully aware of its connotations and consequences.

Jihadi Jack or whatever glamourised and sexed up monicker you confer on him, is a traitor to everything any Briton ought to stand for, an enemy of the state, if you will.

Priti Patel was right to strip him of the rights a British Citizen is owed. He relenquished his the minute he abandoned them.

That said, having him back in the UK would mean a 7 to 10-year sentence; he'll be out in half that.

He'll be back in our communities; back where he will be seen as an invincible and untouchable hero; back where he will inspire many more to do the same, knowing that the worst possible consequences will be an air-conditioned room and three square meals a day, paid for by us little folk who risk taking the tube every day.

I do not accept that.

Justin Trudeau may do. He is very welcome to him. I'm sorry Canada, we're doing what needs to be done. Maybe you ought to do the same.

Khalas.
