John Cantlie - Sonic from Fast Bikes

Really?

Someone sympathises with a bloke that in all likelihood is going to get murdered in a desert thousands of miles from home by some fking loons, and the default response is "You must be a spy!"?

Do you also tell rape victims that they were asking for it for wearing anything less than a full ball gown on a night out?

Maybe he did make a dumb decision, but what happened to the punishment fits the crime? The crime being - travelled legally to a place that wasn't too safe to thank people that helped him.

Don't tell them your name Pike

I like making wild accusations - Stop hating on me.

In my very humble opinion, ladies wearing ball gowns at a Ball, tend to be naughty little minxes, so I'm not sure that phrase works that well. Agree with the sentiment though...

Ah, hence the phrase "She's callin' for a ballin'"

FFS you lot, I get a feeling of dread every time this thread gets bumped up!

Can we keep this channel clear for REAL NEWS about the poor bd's situation?

John is in a dark place and it would do us well to remember this and pray for him.

Sadly I think it's that kind of business that has got him into this predicament in the first place.

If people weren't beheading others over their beliefs in different magic sky pixies then the world would be a much better place.

But yeah, hope he's home safely soon, but I don't hold out a great deal of hope for that. Somebody's 'God' or their interpretation thereof will probably determine a sadder fate.

Out on the piss with mates and the debate is whether he is still alive?

Not that we've had a good dice with Sonic on the Basingstoke to Alton road or Cadwell for a few years.

Any news on internetland?

You'll not believe this but I mentioned him today to someone.

[Butter Face]

Worryingly there hasn't been anything for a long time. I think if they had killed him they would have made a song and dance over it though.

I sincerely hope he gets out alive, gets to come home and lives out his days without feeling the need to go back to an area where he's been captured (twice!)

[Mr2Mike]

Nothing in the media since July when 'his' articles stopped appearing in the ISIS propaganda rag

[anonymous-user]

The lack of news is worrying. Most propganda videos were shot a long time before they aired, he may be dead already, tbh I'd have thought the scumbags would have made a meal of it if it was so. I really hope that's the case.

[A993LAD]

Wow he's back in the ISIS mag again so looks like he might still be alive.......

That is at least encouraging news for his family and friends, I really hope he can get thru this ok.

[Ilovejapcrap]

Just been jumping around the internet checking stuff out on this scary stuff, he was abducted before it would seem.

It's very upsetting to read been their a long time now !

[Prof Prolapse]

Wait, so he's producing videos to assist their recruitment of more followers?

He must believe he's going to get out alive if he cooperates.

Hope really can be a dangerous thing.

Exactly - it was with some degree of trepidation that I clicked. All of these hostages/murders are terrible but when it's someone you have actually stood and spoken to, it's somehow worse.

Was this him on the back with Ronnie?
