I heavily applaud Channel 4 News for cutting the clip before Moazzam completed his statement (5:29). Of course, there is a limit to what you can tell the general public. You just need to keep the public blindfolded enough. Well done.

From Guantanamo inmate to MI5 asset : moazzem begg has led an interesting life ! But what was he doing in Syria that had MI5 approval ?

[@ollyd6206]

At what point in the interview did he declare he was an asset..? He was investigating them.,, you idiot ….

[@TOITN]

@@ollyd6206 investigating them 🤣 This guy is a spook. Likely recruited during Bosnia. Seems to have been active in Libya and Syria.

[@siy8230]

Just watched him on BBC News Hard Talk. Worth a watch if you can find it

[@kimberlyrule]

Of course MI5 did

[@khairul7861]

Have you ever looked in a mirror?

[@ollyd6206]

Your profile pic… “ madder than a bag of spanners”

[@smokeshow7691]

Total double agent shame

[@sadiakamran8217]

Great man....

[@justice4g]

he's an MI5 patsy, they normally hang their operatives out to dry so he's lucky to be alive.

[@ollyd6206]

You label doesn’t fit…. patsy /ˈpatsi/ Learn to pronounce nounINFORMAL•NORTH AMERICAN a person who is easily taken advantage of, especially by being cheated or blamed for something. "the blonde was drop-dead gorgeous but she was nobody's patsy"

[@hjlegends4999]

He's an informant for them and usually when informants are found out the mi5 do just leave them out to dry

[@lhughes597]

I am not a threat to this country if I'm related to the UK

[@zpequeno1]

Holiday in syria during war...erm no thanks.

[@hassanwaheed8539]

He went There for charity purposes

[@hjlegends4999]

He's probably an informant for the mi5 why else would they let him go to Syria

[@Make-Asylums-Great-Again]

He likes to get in trouble, weird.

[@sadiakamran8217]

Allah is great

[@Someoneonyoutube]

hes also fake.

[@gaz2863]

esketit can you prove your claim with facts and proofs?

[@Someoneonyoutube]

Gaz there's no evidence to support "Allah" so why do I need to provide evidence

[@Someoneonyoutube]

Gaz anyways there's evidence for the Big Bang and evidence for simulation theory.

[@ryantaylor962]

esketit allah is a pedo

[@ronhat-nx6yq]

Video is a joke. This ole boy was probably paid by the British to stage a chemical weapons attack.

[@hotshots149]
