Fantastic news. I'm sure that poor guy thought he was never getting out there alive.

Its brilliant news, I have been watching Breakfast news this morning and the glow in the presenters faces is just lovely to see. They light up as soon as they start on the story, it brings a tear to my eye

Isn't it fantastic news?
People who become militant for their cause when they feel the world isn't listening are so stupid in kidnapping Journalist's. Without Journalist's in their part of the world, the rest of the world will never hear their arguements. When Journalist's are at risk of this, they won't be put in there. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
Anyway Welcome Home Alan Johnston

I thought he was already dead TBH. Was really great to see him released. I bet he won't be going back there in a hurry!
