He is an ardent Millwall fan who used to run a South London cafe. Now Polad Talabani leads a crack unit of Kurdish soldiers in Iraq who are taking the fight to the Islamic State.

His cousin, Bafel Ahmed, asked Polad, who was born in Iraqi Kurdistan but raised in Beckenham, South-East London, to come to Iraq to fight for his homeland in 2003.

Bafel said: ‘One day he’s cooking fry-ups and a month later we were jumping out of helicopters in [the city of] Fallujah.’

Polad is in charge of special forces and counter terrorism in the Kurdistan region and has been fighting IS since June.

Now you see this is what you call a real Brit, a man who while not born in Britain is brought up here and appreciates our way of life and values - not someone who is born here and goes to fight alongside genocidal wahhabi devils. I wish the best of luck to Mr Talabani and all other Kurds in the region - they stand the best chance of wiping out ISIS at the moment.

They would do a lot better if they had the "tools" to do the job. They were promised modern weapons,they are still waiting for them!
