Foreign Enlistment Act 1870. It's true that they are unlikely to be prosecuted in that case. But Abedi is supposed to have enlisted with a proscribed terrorist organisation.

Words like presided over and facilitated suggest this is nothing specific enough to trouble May this side of the election. To even give the story legs would probably take something like Andy Burnham making a speech challenging her explicitly. However that's not the way to think about it. It does though get to the heart of government's willingness to play the game of 'good jihad/bad jihadi' - and the consequences of that.

Nope doesn't apply. It only applies if you're joining a military that's fighting a country at peace with the UK.

So many particulars. So many questions.
with the abedi/libya trip it does get me wondering, same as moazzam begg, if the security forces aren't happy to have what they consider to be disposable/denial assets/sources of info in these places. Is that too tinfoil?

I don't mean actually employed or even recruited perhaps, but traceable, can be leaned on etc...

Manchester attack: Ariana Grande to play benefit concert on Sunday - BBC News
She's got my admiration for doing this. It must be a very difficult thing for her to contemplate.

Although a cynic may note it raises her profile somewhat.

That's unfair
It is; and I don't think she's exploiting it for personal gain. I mean, what else could she do?
But it does raise her profile.

I don't think the benefit concert will raise her profile much above what it is folllowing a terrorist attach at her last gig that resulted in global coverage for days on end

Her profile was raised through no fault of her own. Many people who'd never heard of her have now. Including me. (My daughters are older than her core audience now, and have somewhat different tastes anyway).
I wouldn't have blamed her for never stepping back on a stage again. But she's doing so very quickly and back in Manchester. She's got my support.
True. And arguably she has done anything but benefited given she's now cancelled a tour.

Very much agreed.
I hope loads of the Arena attendees are able/feel able to go along.

I think you'll find her profile was recently raised significantly
It was a daft point for sure given she's inextricably linked to it through no choice of her own, as others have pointed out.
Oh you're wanting to push this? Well let's be clear that it probably isn't her making the decisions rather than whichever corporation she's signed to. I wonder if it'll be televised.
And I attacked nobody. I said a cynic might conclude...

You are being crass as fuck. The only time i witnessed deadly violence was a complete shambles for weeks, jumped at slightest thing, useless ball of nerves, and you're going to carry on with the idea that she's only doing this cos a corporation told her to, bollocks. Unnecessary.
Looks like its you that's pushing it.
I backed away from it but cheers for dragging me back in.
And my comments are about the industry. Making it about her just feeds from the whole PR arm of it.
Maybe I'm disillusioned because of Band Aid and Live Aid.

Yeh but that was geldof and bono. AG seems made of different stuff, more backbone and better
I'll admit ignorance about her here. If she's an artist (prince, Amy winehouse) then fair dos. If she's a performer, then she's on a wage and has zero say over this stuff.

Are you drunk? She should shut up unless you personally approve of her music?Similar threads
