Or could it be that anyone who leaves these shores and goes abroad to fight for or against a terrorist group is actually part of the worldwide terrorism
problem and is therefore liable to prosecution ?

Could be.. but that's an extremely spurious line to take given that the RAF and our special forces have been openly helping these groups. If the govt view is that these groups are sound enough to back militarily, then they can't view them as terrorists.

Guys working for the Kurds are not paid very much if anything at all.. Apparently some serious money is available to those willing to take risks in this arena.
No, our government have ordered the farces to go out there, that is not wuite the same thing is it.
Our armed forces are for our protection, they dont do much of that do they, they just go where our government tells them to go.
Hands up all those that trust our government to be honest, straightforward and do the right thing for us as a country ??
So thats nobody then

No? No matter how much well-deserved cynicism you might have about the government, you can't seriously think that the government have ordered the armed forces out there to fight and provide air strikes in support of terrorists.
Well I can't help thinking, notwithstanding your point of view, that something is seriously missing in 2018 by way of coherent and impassioned campaigning at a time when communication has never been more easy and - one would thing - inclusive. But perhaps its exactly this that leads us to believe someone else has it all in hand.

We really have no idea what this guy and his mates were up to out there. You can't trust Oxfam not to be raping their way round the third world.
This guy has to be investigated, just because the people he is claiming he fought against are scum does not make him a saint.

Maybe, as our government has been happy in the past to fight for money and oil rights (or help someone who is doing just that) I believe they would if for some reason it benefited them fight with or for terrorists.

As mentioned earlier, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.
The amoral stance of governments is neatly illustrated by the reported/reputed exchange between Disraeli and Queen Victoria. After a series of treaties were made and unmade she asked him to explain just who were our friends and who were our enemies? He replied along the lines of "We have neither friends nor enemies, we have interests".
