An electromagnetic model of relativistic jets is outlined. It is suggested that these jets be interpreted as current flows and that they owe their persistence and collimation to the pinching action of the magnetic field. Such structures are unstable and it is suggested that the nonlinear development of these instabilities involves the formation of an electromagnetic turbulence spectrum. This turbulence may be responsible for the acceleration of relativistic electrons and positrons. It may also provide the electromagnetic field in which these electrons and positrons radiate. Some mechanisms through which circular polarisation may be created in this environment are outlined.
