How low will the British government go in its shameless Islamopandering, its pollyannish pretense that Islamic jihad violence and Sharia oppression do not exist, its endless courting of the Muslim vote? There seems to be no bottom limit.
“British Army reject who fought against IS guilty of terror charge,” Sky News, October 24, 2019:
A British Army reject who trained to fight against Islamic State has been found guilty of terror offences, in the first conviction of its kind in the country.
Aidan James, 28, was found guilty of training in weapons with the banned group the PKK in Iraq following an Old Bailey retrial.
It is the first time a Briton has been put on trial for going to Syria to oppose Islamic State.
James, from Formby in Merseyside, had no previous military knowledge when he allegedly set out to join the conflict in August 2017, and was repeatedly turned down by British armed forces due to his mental health.
He was cleared of a second charge of attending a place of terror training with Kurdish YPG units, otherwise known as People’s Protection Units, in Syria.
The court heard how James was in contact with the anti-terror Prevent programme before he fled to Iraq in August 2017.
The father-of-one reportedly said he wanted to help the “PKK YPG” in their battle against Isis.
He was arrested on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts after broadcasting his intentions on Facebook.
In his interview, James claimed he was going to Syria to help with “humanitarian aid”, dismissing the suggestion he was going for terrorism as “ridiculous”….
James also told the court how he was turned down by the Army, RAF, Navy and Territorial Army due to his mental health….
In December 2017, he wrote: “The situation with Turkey continues to worsen… the war is long from over but I am playing my part in this war and feel good to be a part of history and with the revolutionary force of YPG.
“Daesh (IS) is the biggest threat the world has seen since Hitler so anything I can do in these operations is good.”
In another handwritten entry, James said he was “waiting for Daesh to give me the opertunity (sic) to fire”.
He described his group’s “quest to vanquish Daesh from this place and send the rechid (sic) souls straight to hell”….

hang on– isn’t the PKK our brave Kurdish allies that we cannot possibly abandon even if they are going to war with our NATO ally, Turkey?

1984 is doing well in UK!! Looks like Magna Carta has long been thrown away in the dust bin of history!

Hey Brits get you head out of…….oh wait, I cant say that here, never mind, carry on carrion…..
Angemon says
Actual jihadi terrorists: “oh, it’s just mental illness”.
Someone who wants to fight jihadi terrorism: “Stop right there you terrorist scum”.
Angemon says
Ups:
“Someone who wants to fight jihadi terrorism and has actual mental issues“
Westman says
Just imagine how many “Brits” who fought FOR ISIS are now back at home, making little jihadis with their multiple wives, and fully supported by the government’s, “Jihad Seeker’s Allowance”.
The Islamic invasion isn’t going away and can’t be waited out by, “muddling through” or shooting the messengers. It may already be too late as almost more native Brits are dying than being born.

Grimly true.
Jap says
He probably failed the medical due to “mental health issues”. Translation, he told recruiters he wanted to fight jihad extremists.
It’s a wonder he wasn’t charged with Islamaphobia!
Spiro says
Maybe that’s a lesser and included offense
Or it’s coming up later
Harry Spitz says
The Kurds have a lot of factions, some of whom are pretty nasty.
This particular faction, the PKK – the Kurdish Worker’s Party, IS a Communist terrorist group.
They may have fought ISIS, but you wouldn’t want them for neighbors.
Remember, the Enemy of my Enemy is my Enemy’s Enemy. Nothing more. Nothing Less.
I don’t think a prison sentence is appropriate in this case, but the guy needs help. His judgement is pretty poor.

As we witness across Europe, the organs of national State power invert anti-terror legislation for use against their domestic legacy populations: Geert Wilders, Tommy Robinson, any ethnic Swede posting an innocuous immigration comment et al. Short of an organic revolution on the part of the inheritors of Greek and Roman civilization, I see no hope for the survival of western Europe as currently constituted. This suicidal lunacy is beginning in the US as well.
Dapto says
The problem here is that he fought for the wrong side, especially now that England is an Islamic state if he had gone and fought for ISIS he’d be free to live his life hassle free no matter how many people he murdered.

UK: Man who went to Iraq to fight against the Islamic State is convicted on terror charge
…………………
So now wanting to fight *against ISIS* is terrorism? Suicidal insanity, and a terrible miscarriage of justice against this man.

How low can the British Government get? Anyone who’s been following the ongoing sagas of Tommy Robinson, the leaders of the ‘Britain First’ movement or the progress of Brexit (amongst a lot of other things), all of which represent the voice and sentiments of the average UK citizen at least to a large extent, will know that the current UK establishment is certainly not working for the British people and hasn’t been doing so for the last three decades or so at least. And a glaring piece of evidence for that is the way in which they’re transparently blocking a general election, where a lot of them know they’ll be out on the ears…..unless they find a way of changing the rules…..again. We’re fast approaching November 5th when we celebrate the thwarting of a historic attempt by a certain Guy Fawkes to blow up the House of Commons. Shame he’s not around today, except he’d never get through all the concrete blocks they’re allegedly planning for Parliament Square.

It’s time for the Brits to join the colonies. With all the un-Godly oppression they have, I don’t know how much longer they can take it.

This shows to what Extent, Britain Surrenders to Islamic Invaders who settled there with the Mask of Refugees.
