Yep. Would have preferd the Hereford lot to get him though.

Yes, I would have preferred he had seen and felt his impending doom.

Hopefully he lingered a little before heading off to collect his virgins.

Look on the bright side, the whole thing could be a mix-up - a case of Chinese whispers - and all these Jihadi tts are being met at their deaths by 72 vermin.

"However, there is a good chance his death will never be confirmed if his body has been incinerated or cannot be located and spies may have to rely on intercepting chatter from the jihadi militants to verify the reports."


Why I'm shocked, just shocked.

[TheJimi]

Shame really.


He wouldn't have felt a thing

[otolith]

No doubt there will be hand wringing about the tragic extra-judicial execution of a British citizen who should surely have been captured alive and unharmed, brought to trial in a manner respectful of his rights, and if proven to be guilty, kept in prison until he has been sufficiently reformed and can return to society.

I think the word is...SCHADENFRUEDE.

Here's a low-budget arthouse movie of the death.

Right first time! And leading the pack, that great bastion of British security - Jeremy Corbyn...!

Twunt.

TBH I find the far left even scarier than the far right (in debates / politics, the latter are more easily defeated). If Comrade Corbyn and his loony liberal band of idiots, or anyone like him, ever come in to power in this country, we're up st creek without a paddle.

Comrade Corbyn is sure that he would've come quietly. All we had to do is respect his human rights and ask him nicely.

"John Cantlie, the British journalist who has been held hostage by jihadis since 2012, is shown in a new video made by Islamic State.

Cantlie looks noticeably thinner in the video, the first to feature him since one that emerged on 19 March."

He doesn't look well as his clothes are hanging off him. Nor does he seem to have seen much daylight in what is normally a sunny region.

[Dan_1981]

Poor fella.

Over 4 years in captivity - not sure what that does to ones mental state.

[BlackLabel]

Over 4.5 years later John Cantlie still hasn't been freed.

Meanwhile ISIS continue to take advantage of the refugee crisis.

guardian said:

Islamic State is paying the smugglers’ fees of child refugees in a desperate attempt to attract new recruits, according to a report highlighting the potential vulnerability of unaccompanied minors to radicalisation.

The report, from counter-extremism thinktank Quilliam, also says that an estimated 88,300 unaccompanied children – identified by the European Union’s police agency Europol as having gone missing – were at risk of being radicalised.

Headlines you thought you'd never see.

[kowalski655]

Nothing to do with IS, not even a proper chopping, but he still ends up having to apologize to the professionally offended for having some fun.
Ridiculous!

[zygalski]

I am outraged that Rod Stewart had to apologise.
Anyone know who forced him to publish the apology? I think we deserve a public enquiry at the very least.
I was looking forward to a relaxing weekend. Now that's well & truly buggered.
This is totally outrageous!

The Israelis seem to be doing something right.

Isis-affiliated fighters “apologised” after launching an attack on Israeli soldiers, the country’s former defence minister has claimed. Moshe Ya’alon was reportedly referring to an incident when a group linked to Isis in the Syrian Golan Heights exchanged fire with Israeli forces last November.

article said:

According to the first Western journalists, who have entered Isis' territories and survived, Israel is the only country in the world the Islamic group fears because it believes its army is too strong to face.
