Does he sound to you like someone from Oxford? I don't know what his accent is but it sounds odd to me. Is it some kind of "street" accent? He also says at the end "what do they call it in English?", suggesting that he has been speaking something else, presumably Arabic. I've noticed an accent like this before in another Isis recruit, someone from Cardiff (apparently now [url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/apr/26/briton-killed-in-drone-strike-on-isis-posed-serious-threat-to-uk-reyaad-khan]dead[/url]). Compare the accent he had before he left Wales and the one he had after he joined Isis [url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jun/25/jihadist-wanted-british-pm]here[/url]. His Welsh accent seemed to have completely disappeared. I wonder if they picked up a shared accent that strengthened their affiliation with the Isis "gang".

"Jihadi Jack's" use of "they" ("what do they call it in English?") also suggests that he now considers the British and other anglophones foreigners, while his questioning the use of the word "traitor" suggests that he feels no loyalty to the UK. I'm not convinced by people like this guy and Shamima Begum claiming to have become disillusioned with Isis and seen the error of their ways. Are we supposed to believe that because Isis has been defeated in Syria its followers have suddenly decided to abandon their beliefs? Wouldn't be surprised if it's a ploy to return to the UK and commit or help to commit terrorist acts.[/quote]

hedda	I've found Brits pick up accents fairly quickly when they are in a foreign country for a fair time. The number here in Oz I find with Aussie accents is remarkable. It must be something to do with your brain that absorbs the sounds of those around you.
