Latest one about the large family is just one of a long string of similar stories in recent months. I see that the police and security services are being castigated yet again because, of course, it's their fault really.....
Is it just me? Am I missing something here?
IMHO, if someone decides they want to feck off to Syria (or wherever) to join/help/support IS (or whatever they're calling themselves this week) why are we putting in all the time, effort and resources tracking them down?
They made a personal choice (maybe the kids didn't but their parents did) so isn't it about time we stated clearly and unequivocally that anyone who does so will have their UK citizenship immediately revoked and barred from ever re-entering The UK??
Stop wasting precious time and resources. Put them on a banned list. End of.
One wonders what was done during WW2 when some chose to feck off to Germany to join The Nazis. Bet your bottom dollar that the government of the day didn't waste time and effort tracking these people. More likely put them on a list to be imprisoned or shot if they ever dared return to these shores.
