Bradford family: Police 'complicit in radicalising sisters

A muslamic women told the police to get her brother to come back as she believed that he was going to go fight in Syria  this was just the first step. The family from Bradford belivied that the police was being oppressively survalenced which the police has obvious denied by the police. But after getting there mp and even a lawyer to be less easy going on radicalism as now a whole family have gone over to Syria and they have now gone missing.

My opinion: this story is very strange but the main reason that I choose to do this story is because this is another person willing to travel to Syria to fight in a war that is being constantly properganderised and as 24/7 news coverage and our action to this have been very lack luster and our attitude to racism have been shocking and we are surprised people argue back when we do provoke them

British worker records his life and fight agasints ISIS

its not everyday that you get a chance to fight for your country and with the current fight against ISIS forces 1 more has joined the fray. Macer Gifford a EX-public school boy joined the Kurds to fight against ISIS and the worst thing is that he has filmed it all. he took his go-pro and a gun and a week army training to go fight (GREAT DECISION) he has taken many pictures and filmed himself during patrols. the video themselves have a vlog style to it and it is clear that this guy has no idea what he is doing or why he is there. while watching the videos i am expecting him to say subscribe for more ISIS content, ill see you next time like a vlog also most pictures see him using and holding guns while smiling this send a positive message of war back to kids all around the war making them want to go out and fight since it looks like the video games and that is probably the worse crime than going to fight a war.
