Diane Burke was at work when she received a phone call from a Ukrainian police officer who, in broken English, repeated the phrase ‘Daniel Burke is missing’ over and over.
“I was hysterical,” she told me last week, as we spoke about her son, who has now been missing in the war-torn country for more than a month.
I met Daniel in 2020. He had just been released from HMP Wandsworth after prosecutors suddenly dropped terror charges against him. He had been arrested after returning from Syria where he had fought Islamic State with Kurdish militia group the YPG - a Western ally against IS.
He said he passed intelligence to UK counter-terror experts and US special forces and spent time on the front line and working as a medic. On his return home, he was arrested, but no charges were pursued. Then, in 2019, he was charged with terror offences - a move Daniel believed was highly political.
He was never explicitly told what the alleged terrorism in his case was supposed to involve, considering that he only ever fought alongside Western allies. During seven months on remand at HMP Wandsworth he was nicknamed ‘Jihadi Dan’, much to his disgust.
Then, just before a trial at the Old Bailey, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped the charges, with no proper explanation ever offered as to why. Daniel told me the whole ordeal had made him feel 'sick to the stomach' and left him disappointed in his country.
At the time, his lawyers said his treatment flagged up a need to review the scope of the definition of 'terrorism' in UK legislation.

Michael Bay told Ben Affleck to ‘shut the f–k up’ over ‘Armageddon’ flaws
A revealing audio clip of star Ben Affleck from the DVD commentary of the 1998 summer blockbuster has gone viral, like it does every so often, and listeners are again shocked by the actor’s frank admissions. On the track, Affleck says fiery director Michael Bay told him to “shut the f—k up” when he started asking too many questions about the disaster film’s implausible plot.“I asked Michael why it was easier to train oil drillers to become astronauts than it was to train astronauts to become oil drillers, and he told me to shut the f—k up,” said Affleck, who was just 25 years old when “Armageddon” hit theaters.“’You know, Ben, just shut up, OK? You know, this is a real plan,’” Affleck, now 51, recalled Bay saying.
