Here is how I set out my own view on this topic in discussion with Vince a while back on this thread. I think my argument remains on point, although I accept that Vince doesn't agree - it's a free country, right?

meanwhile some good news - the luck of the Irish
EuroMillions: Family syndicate wins 175m euro jackpot https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-47299179 A family syndicate from Dublin has come forward to claim Tuesday's EuroMillions jackpot, worth more than 175m euros (£152m). I know many don't like the lottery and claim it is a tax on the stupid but I still play it every now and again and I suspect that family won't give a toss about that viewpoint. I wish all of them the very best in coping with the extra hassle such a large win will no doubt bring.

This seems to be the closest the US has to the UK's ISIS bride.
https://abcnews.go.com/US/isis-bride...ry?id=61193487 I don't see many Americans disagreeing with Trump on this decision. |

The old adage 'you made your bed-now sleep in it' seems entirely appropriate under the circumstances....these individuals voluntarily chose to leave their countries and make common cause with an organisation and individuals whose actions were the subject of world wide opprobrium. There are some actions people take in life where you should have to live with the consequences regardless of your later philosophical position-and the 'but think of the children' is a morally bankrupt argument. We do not pardon people because their children might find life a bit more difficult if their parent or parents are imprisoned or otherwise sanctioned....

You are talking about the bunch of throwbacks that are the modern Labour Party though, a place where someone as moronic as Dianne Abbott can thrive and people still worship Tony Blair Perfect place to hold the Mad Hatton's tea party

The jurisdiction being Syria. Assuming they are still there or under their control of course. Even then you want Mr Assad and his own bunch of terrorists to administer justice for the rest of the world? Why should Assad care about the murder of UK charity workers or western journalists? He may just decide its better for his agenda to send them off to the west to do further damage to their common enemy - us. What's the point in having legislation to prosecute UK citizens for terrorist acts abroad if you don't use it. It's just a cop out, passing the buck to someone else for short term political gain with the reactionary tabloid angry mob who no doubt will be 'outraged' again if these terrorists are free to come back and attack us again. |
