Britain’s program to return jihadists home and help them move back into a more moderate choice of living — one that doesn’t include, say, cutting off heads of those of religions other than Muslim — has sparked some massive resistance because authorities are mulling a plan to put the terrorists at the front of the line for housing and exmployment assistance.
The plan, called Operation Constrain, was leaked into the public. And as the Express reported: It’s going to help roughly 20,000 radicalized Muslims return to the United Kingdom and obtain gainful work.
Sadly, for those already in the United Kingdom, these jihadists will get priority in terms of employment and housing assistance.

From the Express:
The project would reportedly target up to 20,000 extremists known to MI5, while Britons returning from former Islamic State strongholds in Syria would also be eligible.
The nationwide programme is due to start next year, the Mail on Sunday reported.
Whitehall said the scheme was part of the government’s commitment to “respond to the evolving threat in the most effective way we can”.
But former counter terrorism advisor Col Richard Kemp told the Telegraph: “I think it’s very much mistaken policy.
“When you look at the profile of many of the people who have been involved in terrorist attacks in the UK, or travelled overseas, they do not come from deprived backgrounds.
“If someone is inclined to be an extremist, you are not going to bribe them into not being a terrorist.”
Terrorism expert Professor Anthony Glees told the Mail: “You can’t bribe people not to be terrorists.”
Earlier this month, Max Hill QC, the UK’s independent reviewer of terrorism laws, proposed trying to re-integrate “naive” teenagers who had travelled to Syria to fight for ISIS instead of prosecuting them.The proposals bear a similarity to Denmark’s Aarhus model, a de-radicalisation programme that offers young people at risk of being radicalised a way back into society.
They are offered mentors, psychologists, activities and workshops aimed not just at teaching young people that extremism is wrong, but also given them ways to address their anger through dialogue instead of violence.
This week, the parents of Jack Letts, a 21-year-old Muslim covert known as “Jihadi Jack”, pleaded for his to be return to Britain after he was captured by Kurdish forces in Raqqa and charged with being a member of ISIS.
John Letts and Sally Lane said their son, who has a history of mental illness, was initially treated well, but has suffered in recent months.
In letters sent home to his parents the prisoner denies being a Daesh member.
Last week it was revealed that ISIS deserter Shabazz Suleman, a former grammar school pupil from High Wycombe, wants to return home to face justice having become dissilusioned with the terror cell.
He said in encrypted messages to The Times: “I no longer know who I am.”
A Home Office spokeswoman said: “The Government is committed to doing everything possible to protect our communities from the threat of terrorism.
“To respond to this threat, it is vital that we use all the means at our collective disposal to divert people away from terrorist-related activity and we are exploring the best ways of doing this with our partners.
“We are also reviewing our counter terrorism strategy to make sure we respond to the evolving threat in the most effective way we can, both now and in the future.”
This week, British soldier Macer Gifford, who has fought ISIS for the past three years alongside Syrian Democratic Forces, warned letting jihadis return to the UK is like “inviting the wolf to dinner”. …“The foreign fighters are actually by far the worst, and the most aggressive, most deranged of all the Islamic State fighters.
“These are individuals who have had every opportunity to live a normal, happy life in Britain, America, France and other places.
“Yet they’ve basically spat in the face of everything that we hold dear – our democracy, our shared values of secularism and multiculturalism.
“They have gone to Syria to butcher, murder and rape people, to sell people into sexual slavery, and they tear up their passports as an act of defiance.”

The Home Office satire is good but can’t surpass the Saudi pledge to return to a “moderate” Islam.

So their resume’ reads like this “Extensive experience of rapes, murders, and ethnic cleansing. Specialize in beheadings, and amputating feet and hands. Skills include collecting 80% of the booty. Follow the examples of the Prophet as stipulated in the Koran. Promptly deserted when things looked bleak and loss looked inevitable. Will make a great addition in any team setting.”

Everyone who is homeless or jobless in UK should just convert to Islam and join ISIS for a week, problem solved.
Btw: How do the benefits of joining the UK military compare to the benefits of joining ISIS?

It’s time to stop making excuses for these maniacs and trying to explain away their actions and behaviour. There are millions of young people who are naive, lonely, even depressed – how many of them turn into murderous psychopaths who are willing to travel to another continent and live a life of evil and butchery? No: there is something fundamentally defective in all these “returners”, a predisposition to violence, crime and murder. That will not be changed by any programmes, workshops or counselling. Return = danger.

My parents were not rich – yet they served in the second world war. Afterwards they had to scrimp and save for a decent living and to buy a house and possessions. They also had to scrimp and save to send us to University. Now these murdering ex-ISIS followers are to be given a house, white goods, a car, mobile phone, large screen t.v., etc., etc., which my parents & myself could barely afford. And all of this at the council tax payers’ expense. At the same time adherents claim that our under-aged white girls are to blame for being sexually exploited aka raped. Utterly unacceptable and disgraceful.

I have the same family background so I agree with you 100%. It’s impossible to understand: they are dangerous, evil killers who could turn against their “home” country and people at any time after they return. Their actions in joining IS should disqualify them from any benefits or assistance, but actually giving them priority over decent, hardworking Britons is a disgrace and should not be allowed by law.
All those who have pushed policies of political correctness, multiculturalism and “diversity” have a lot to answer for. What was so wrong about British society being predominantly white and Christian that it had to be “enriched” and “diversified” through mass immigration from the backward Third World?

Exactly Jeremy, our four home nations provide one of the richest and most diverse cultures in Europe, but that didn’t matter to Barbara Roach adviser to Blair who came up with the term cultural enrichment, he wanted to “maximise immigration to meet the governments social and economic objectives”.
Those “objectives” we now know involved white race replacement and cultural realignment.
He’s earned awards for it from Brussels, so has Merkel, Kissinger, Van Rompuy and Peter Sutherland.

One small correction, this is not “Britain’s Programme” it’s an initiative of the same Home Office, that one Tony Blair saw to it was stuffed with lefty gays, SJW types and of course Muslims and blacks galore, who have proven their antipathy towards the UK in many ways for years now.
To say this has caused outrage is a classic understatement, all I can say is it’s a good job the Met have cameras every few yards around Whitehall because it’s coming up to firework night and the political class are unpopular..

This is how democracy works. The britishstinian voters have consistently elected more muslims to public office with each election, at all levels. muslims will place other muslims above non muslims in every instance, it is apostasy not to. Why the britishstinians gave their country away to a minority of ignorant, violent, lazy bigots called muslims defies explanation. Why there is no resistance but accelerated acceptance of islam in britaninstan is even harder to understand. Why did the voters in britanistan give away their culture, heritage, real estate future and present wealth to imported muslims who clearly stated they were there for the welfare, and have no intention of working, assimilation, or even learning english? The conclusion that britishtinians are stupid is the only logical one to reach.

I am with you, and British Liberals are responsible for what they have done to Britain . I look at Canada and the U.S. and liberalism is doing the same thing here . In America , the Democrats were, and would have accelerated their demise under Clinton. Trump stood up and called it for what it is . His leadership coalesced those who still believed in America and wanted her to be great again. In Canada, we are being led by a complete sell-out that I think even some Liberals are rethinking , but there is no “Trump” on the horizon. I think the sooner Trudeau is out the better but the opposition talks about tax issues mixed with some criticism about immigration policies. Were is the denouncement of free speech threats or the threats posed by Islamic terrorism/immigration. There are some voices in the wings but the PC media and attitudes are emasculating the leadership. In Ontario, the economic engine of Canada, there is absolutely no difference between the Conservative party and the Liberals currently in power. From what I see in Britain, there are voices but no real political alternatives for those who want Britain to be great again although I fear it is too late already for them .May there be an awakening soon for us. Canada will not survive another Trudeau government . Be well Mahou , keep up your postings , the fight is a long way from over.

The collection of weak sisters called conservatives in Canada are merely “liberal lite”. What is needed is a leader, not a smug self satisfied former clerk from some government department.

The best way to respond to this “evolving threat” is by executing them.
