Thanks for the ping, Granny...
Slightly misleading title there, IMHO... Until I read through the article I thought perhaps this was an incestuous relationship of sorts (reminded me of that “I am my own Grandpa” song. lol)
As for recruiting in the UK — that depends on whether Osama’s son is still active in terrorism efforts would it not? Perhaps he has seen the error of his ways?

I was actually meaning to refer to the tremendous "pride" that the local UK jihadists would feel upon having not only someone with the Bin Laden name but Osama's actual son among them.
Hopefully he will be watched like a hawk and will not be able to blow his elephantine nose without authorities being aware (yes, I know, I'm an optimist too) and so any activities on his part in the direction of extremism would "hopefully" be reduced.
I would think that the knowledge that Bin Laden's son is living in the UK would be a tremendous magnet for jihadists, just to be near him would probably be such a thrill.

I am not, it is a good way to get a trusted al-qaeda in the UK.
