This is a very special 12 year old. His understanding of the political situation in Egypt and the Middle East puts most adults to share. I was amused when the interviewer suggests that she doesn’t even know what a ‘fascist theocracy’ and the kid gives a concise and accurate definition.

As I said this kid is special, conscious and articulate he is performing above the expectation for someone his age. But what he is saying is not ‘rocket science’, why don’t more people in the UK realise that their government’s support for the insurgents in Syria is cynical and immoral?
