A minister who said the only way to deal with UK IS fighters in Syria was to kill most of them defends his remarks

Well, I don’t want these nutcases coming back to the UK! Do you? – Old Leither A realist at last –Alanm So much for the rule of law. I thought that was what separated civilisation from the unenlightened thugs. The next time an extremist calls for killing in this country he or she can claim that they are inspired by the government. – Warrior Thru and Thru Would you like to hand them our country now or after the returned Isis fighters have brought even more terror to our streets? You can’t just let hundreds of murdering idealists back into the UK. They will not follow the rules of law if they get back. – Paul Thompson They are terrorists and must be treated as such, either they change course or die. – Natsarats Once they leave the UK to join any terrorist group their passport should be rescinded and no way should they be allowed to return. – Jim Thomas
