#1 He said it was not obvious how Britannia could withdraw passports from suspected turbans and remain inside the international law.

Sure it is - you could say 'fuck that noise' and do what's best for Britain, but that would be simplisme cowboy posturing, amirite?

#3 Outlaw status.

Fighting for ISIS means citizen of "ISIS califéte" means ended citizenship of UK.

Simples.

Real reason. LibDumbs don't want to start removing citizenship from traitors because they'd be losing passports.

#4 Then just shoot them on sight. Lots of countries take that approach, and "international law" never seems to apply to them.

#5 Go back to the old Medieval status of 'outlaw' which means they lose the protection of the crown and the king's law. They live amongst the population at their own risk.

#6 Nick Clegg has acknowledged that seizing the passports of suspected ISIL turbans returning from Iraq and Syria could be in violation of international law.

Declare them enemy combatants who want to invade UK. Or label them spies.

#7 I don't understand the problem here if we are sincerely putting on our pointy noses.

ISJV is not a recognized international government. Fighting with or assisting ISJV is conducting violence against uniformed soldiers and civilians, therefore murder or accessory to murder, genocide.

Doesn't matter if the jihadi all stars cut them from the team, these people had the will to travel halfway across the world to die. They will then decide to do so wherever they come back to, if they are not already purposeful agents on missions.

Could just load them up on passenger jets and RC fly them back to ISJV. Fly them low and slow, paint them something offensive, like the battle standard of Don Juan or Jean Parisot de Valette.

#8 Henry VIII wouldn't have a problem. Good Queen Bess wouldn't even notice a "problem."

#9 I'd get the UN to issue a stern condemnation. That should fix the problem!

#10 How stupid is this? It's as idiotic as if the US left its borders unguarded. Wait, what?
