At last – a politician who says what we all think

GOvERnMEnT minister Rory Stewart says the only way to deal with ‘British’ jihadis who flew out to join izal is to kill them all before they get the chance to return home. Sounds good to me — and i suspect to most of you, too. Every single one of our ‘ fellow citizens’ who signed up to fight for our enemies is guilty of treason and has forfeited the right to the protection of British law.

as Stewart, an international Development minister, puts it: ‘These are people who have essentially moved away from any kind of allegiance towards the British government.

‘They are absolutely dedicated, as members of the islamic State, towards the creation of a caliphate, they believe in an extremely hateful doctrine which involves killing themselves, killing others and trying to use violence and brutality to create an eighth century, or seventh century, state.

‘These people are executing people in the back of their heads, have held women and children hostage, are torturing and murdering, trying by violence to impose their will.

‘They are a serious danger and the only way of dealing with them will be, in almost every case, to kill them.’

Hallelujah. How wonderfully refreshing to hear a politician speak his mind, and speak for Britain, without feeling the current obsession to pay obeisance to the modern pieties of ‘yuman rites’ idiocy.

This column has long maintained that those who travelled abroad to join izal should be stripped of both their passports and their citizenship and denied re-entry to this country. ideally, they should be captured with extreme prejudice, put up against a wall and shot through the head in whichever disgusting desert hell-hole they have chosen to make their home. Failing that, they should be blown to Kingdom Come by the kind of drone strike which vapourised that dopey bird known as the White Widow — exciting a bout of predictable left-wing hand-wringing. Oh dear, how sad, never mind. Frankly, the only kind of international development i’d like to see in vast swathes of the Middle East is turning the whole place into a car park.

Maybe it’s time Stewart was elevated from his relatively minor department and put in charge of both the Ministry of Defence and Britain’s anti-terror strategy.

at least he appears to be on our side, which is more than can be said for most of the two-bob, gutless clowns running the show these days. Only last week, some overpaid liberal brief called Max Hill QC, who is supposed to be reviewing our terrorism legislation, bleated that young British jihadis should be allowed to come home and be ‘reintegrated’ into society.

They are guilty, according to Mad Max, of nothing more than ‘naivety’. They have been ‘brainwashed’, he said, turning them — not the people they have beheaded and worse — into the real victims of the worldwide islamist death cult. Poor lambs.

The authorities’ best guess is that 850 of these terrorist wannabes joined izal — and half of them are now back ‘home’, where they have the capacity to bring murder and mayhem to the streets of our towns and cities.

Do you want them reintegrated into society? Me neither.

But the official line is that we should forgive and forget — presumably until one of these model citizens reintegrates himself by blowing up a Tube train, or stabs to death innocent people enjoying a jolly night out at Borough Market, or drives a Transit into pedestrians walking across Westminster Bridge, or (fill in your atrocity of choice).

Meanwhile, we are supposed to have some sympathy with the parents of Jihadi Jack, the British Muslim convert who joined izal last year.

They’re currently on hunger strike on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral in protest at the government’s refusal to help him, after he was arrested by Kurdish fighters as he fled the izal capital of Raqqa in June.

Shame he didn’t get a cruise missile up his fundament.

as a dad myself, i feel for them, up to a point. But shouldn’t they be asking themselves: why did our son turn his back on the country of his birth and decide to travel thousands of miles to team up with a bunch of deranged religious maniacs hell-bent on genocide and world domination?

if i’m passing St Paul’s in the next couple of weeks, i might chuck them a Big Mac, from the goodness of my heart, but that’s as far as it goes.

They can starve to death, for all i care, and their son can rot in a Kurdish cell until he pegs it, too.

Sorry if it upsets the bien-pensant brigade — and those allegedly on our side who are desperate to appease them — but my support goes solely to those brave souls serving in our armed Forces, who are betrayed at every turn by our spineless government.

at the same time as we are being told we must roll out the welcome mat for returning izal jihadis, military police are flying to afghanistan to investigate allegations that the SaS were a bit over- enthusiastic when topping a few Taliban members. OvER- EnTHuSiaSTiC is what we want the SaS to do for a living, especially when it comes to dealing with filth like the Taliban.

But this kind of grovelling, kneejerk ‘investigation’ is typical of the institutionalised betrayal we have come to expect — from the ridiculous, trebles- all- round, iRa-appeasing Bloody Sunday inquiry to the fake Daily Mirror photos alleging ‘ war crimes’ by British troops in iraq.

Still, it’s all par for the course. We’ve even been subjected to the BBC’s Mickey Mouse version of the gunpowder Plot as imagined by a guardianista iRa stooge, who once turned up on a murder charge ( convicted and then acquitted on appeal). Our cultural commissars have never met a terrorist they didn’t like.

How long before 9/11 and the bombing of the london Transport network in 2005 are portrayed as the work of romantic freedom fighters?

no doubt those who planned the slaughter at the ariana grande concert will soon be given the freedom of Manchester, on the grounds that they weren’t really evil, bless ’ em, they were just ‘naive’.

Here’s the deal. They’re not ‘British’, they’re not our ‘fellow citizens’, they’re not ‘ naive’, they’re not ‘brainwashed’. They’re the enemy, the nazis of our day. The scum of the earth. i’m with Rory Stewart. Kill them, kill them all.
