LEDBURY'S MP, Bill Wiggin, says he has been "horrified" by the murderous media campaign run by Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria.

He said: "We have the threat of IS who are working towards an Islamic caliphate super state.

"The behaviour of these jihadists is indefensible, but made more revolting because of the use of the internet and video clips."

Mr Wiggin added: "I have been horrified by the video clips of the executions of Americans James Foley and Steven Sotloff and British aid worker David Haines."

I hope we in the UK will continue to be a beacon of tolerance, understanding and compassion.
