It would be handy if we knew what he was planning and where. I'm starting to suspect a lot of these so called terrorists are more anti assad than a threat to our country.

"Prosecutors say Javeed was arrested while preparing for a trip to Syria to join terror group Islamic State (IS)."

The link says going to syria to fight against the Syrian government. Aren't we against the syrian government. Nowhere did it state he was going to be a terrorist against the UK.

It's the fluid nature of the middle east. One day the president of syria is complaining about terrorists in his country and western governments are planning to arm and support them to overthrow the government. The next, those same terrorists/rebels are rampaging across iraq and the same western governments are backing the syrian government. While arming the Kurds who are in a defacto state of war with Turkey who happen to be a nato member.

It's because of the double standards of the West. The British government called groups like Islamic State "moderate rebels" because as long as it was just Assads troops and civilians they were terrorizing and beheading that served our interests in trying to destabilize his government. Obviously in those 3 years some people have come to believe the romantic notion our media was perpetrating; That IS and Nusra killing all these people is part of some romantic idealist uprising against tyranny.
Hardly surprising, given the types of people who enter the teaching 'profession' these days.
Clearly teachers aren't woolly liberals these days then? I suppose beheading someone for forgetting their gym kit is going to be more effective in preventing them from doing it again compared to a detention.

you mean a cross section of society as apposed to the failed offspring of the middle and upper class?
