Yeah well, the West has been committing war crimes with full public knowledge for decades. So it's a bit odd to focus on this one statement.

What do you mean, not permissible evidence? Thought UK had made it a crime to support ISIS in any shape, form

Yes, but if gov finds out you support Isis through covert monitoring of communications, this can't form the basis of a prosecution in a UK court of law.

Are we “At War” with Isis, Isil, Daesh?

Not in the traditional sense, because UK govt doesn't recognise IS as a legitimate state. But the point is that the intelligence received about the activities of those travelling to Syria has often been obtained by methods that are not admissible in court.
