An apparent British Islamic State (Isis) fighter has appeared unmasked in a video posted online in which he calls David Cameron a “despicable swine”. An apparent British Islamic State (Isis) fighter has appeared unmasked in a video posted online in which he calls the prime minister, David Cameron, a “despicable swine”.
Dressed in camouflage fatigues and with a bandaged right arm, the bespectacled man challenges western governments to “send all your forces on the ground” in the high-quality footage.Dressed in camouflage fatigues and with a bandaged right arm, the bespectacled man challenges western governments to “send all your forces on the ground” in the high-quality footage.
Sitting in front of a wall with an AK47 rifle propped up to his side, he said: “This is a message to that despicable swine David Cameron, you along with all the other western governments have decided to bomb the Islamic State.

You along with all the other western governments have decided to bomb the Islamic State.
“If you were real men, you would send all your forces down on the ground. You would not bomb us from the sky – you would send them all on the ground fighting us one by one. But you know in the hearts of your men, they’re cowards.”“If you were real men, you would send all your forces down on the ground.

The video appears after the RAF carried out a series of strikes on Isis forces, following parliament’s authorisation for British involvement in the international military campaign.The video appears after the RAF carried out a series of strikes on Isis forces, following parliament’s authorisation for British involvement in the international military campaign.
In the latest video to appear online, the fighter takes the unusual step of appearing without a mask or balaclava. In other Isis films, including footage of the beheadings of the US journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff and the British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, the men in them are masked.
He attacks the US for calling on “40 other nations” to join in the attacks on Isis, adding: “You’re fighting people who love death more than you love life.
“So send all your forces, send them all, send all your reserves, send all your backups, because we’ll send them all back in coffins,” he said.
He then asks “all the brothers in the UK” why they remain in the west, urging them to join the jihad overseas.
But the militant then appears to urge supporters in the west who are unable to travel to Iraq and Syria to commit acts of terrorism in their home countries.
“You can cause terror from right within. So unlike us you can cause damage, you can cause real damage,” he says.
