Although I don't personally know Jack Letts, his radicalisation shook everyone in Oxford. It was weird seeing a guy the same age, who grew up down the road, suddenly be plastered across the media as 'Jihadi Jack'. MANDEM have done an excellent interview with one of Jack's friends explaining why he should be allowed back to the UK for a fair trial.
He points out that by turning our back on him, we are only pushing more people into radicalisation. Trying to gain an insight and understanding of why radicalisation is so prominent at the moment is one of our main tools for fighting it. Yet Sajid Javid and other MPs are insisting we strip former radicals of their citizenship and turn them away from the country that, in many ways, failed them. Watch the video at www.mandemhood.com
