Huge Cost of Monitoring Returned Jihadists Means Majority Roam Free in Britain

17

These ISIS savages are killers. The British establishment is not so much naive as so totally sold out to the Muslims in Britain that the British government is terrified of offending Britain’s large and restive Muslim community by doing anything about these jihadis. And they will pay for their complacency and dhimmitude when these returning ISIS jihadis get back to the jihad, this time in the UK. This is the Britain of David Cameron and Theresa May. They banned me from entering the country, along with other foes of jihad, but these returning jihadis are welcome and able to roam free. It’s national suicide.

“Report: Huge Cost of Monitoring Returned Jihadists Means Majority Roam Free in Britain,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, February 21, 2019:

British government security orders that can be placed on known extremists are so expensive to enforce they are hardly ever used, leaving the majority of returning jihadists to “roam free”.

The arrangements made for Islamist extremists living in the United Kingdom has come under intense scrutiny in the wake of the rediscovery of a former London schoolgirl who defected to the Islamic State in 2015, who now wants to come to Britain to raise an ISIS fighter’s son.

While the British government has stripped 19-year-old Shamima Begum of her citizenship in a bid to prevent her from returning to the United Kingdom, Breitbart London has previously reported how a large number of extremists have already arrived — and continue to arrive — from foreign warzones.

Despite assurances from the police that those returning will be subjected to Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures (TPIMs), a report by British newspaper The Times reports that only a small minority are actually monitored in this way.

Nikita Malik of the Henry Jackson Society told the paper that, due at least in part to the great expense of putting TPIMs in place, only a small number have actually been activated, speaking of only a “handful” of the estimated 400 returned fighters and extremists being subjected to them.

“The rest have been put under surveillance. TPIMs are for the highest level because they are so costly,” Malik explained.

The report revealed Home Office figures showing nearly £5 million had been spent controlling just 23 individuals, with legal bills of £1 million a year and accommodation costs of £70,000 a year per individual. Other costs, including tagging suspects, travel costs, and policing to enforce restrictions, are counted separately, piling up on top of the Home Office figures.

The government disputes the claims of the Henry Jackson Society, and insists the use of TPIMs is not considered on cost grounds.

These figures come just weeks after separate revelations reported by Breitbart London on the monitoring of terror returnees uncovered by Labour MP John Woodcock. Speaking in Parliament, Mr Woodcock said: “Are more than 400 of those returning individuals in jail or going through the court system? We simply do not know, because the Government will not release the figures, despite repeated requests.

“There is strong demand from the public to know how many who travelled to fight foreign jihad are currently free in British communities. Those men and women are escaping justice, despite having been prepared to fight British troops in the name of a sickeningly evil cause.

“If they are not locked up or deradicalised, they are potentially able to import back to British streets brutal killing techniques learned on the battlefield.”…

International law has usurped common sense and sovereignty.
That was part of the deal signing up with the EU.

None of them should be allowed to return. This is insanity. Citizenship should be stripped and entry denied.

Coming Home: Explaining the Variance in Jihadi Foreign Fighter Returnees Across Western Europe
February 16th 2018 – 10:46

With at least 6,800 European nationals fighting in Syria and Iraq, and estimates suggesting that approximately a quarter – nearly 2,000 – have already returned, the risk is not insignificant. Monitoring these returnees has added significant strain to European intelligence and security services. Closer examination of the available data shows a variance in the number of returnees per country. A (rough) distinction can be made between Northern and Southern European countries (see figure). While countries such as Italy (10.5%), France (14.2%), and Spain (14.7%) are facing relatively low percentages of returnees, countries such as Denmark (49.6%), the United Kingdom (50%), and Finland (53.8%) have a significantly higher share of jihadi foreign fighters returning.

I can’t even begin to comprehend that.

Imagine taking in NAZIS as “refugees” or “migrants: as we fight them in the war.
We should not allow any of them to return and I include children too.
Strip them of citizenship and ban them. Don’t waste tax dollars putting them on trial. If convicted, some dimwit will come along and pardon them. I don’t want our tax dollars used keeping them in prison if convicted. They will soil other minds in prison. Why in the world should anyone be concerned if they don’t have a country? I refuse to let go of sanity and common sense!

I thought that was exactly what happened. Don’t let the sanitised version of history fool you.

Maybe I missed it. Did people from other countries sympathize with The NAZIS and join them to fight us and then after the war was over took off the German uniform and return home

How should the UK respond to returning British Jihadis?
by Mirianna la Grasta

One of the first and more drastic suggestions is the banning of Jihadis from the country, putting them on a ‘no-fly list’, and therefore preventing the fighters from reaching the British soil. France and Belgium, for example, have supported this policy, strengthening the controls at their countries’ borders.

Another proposal is the cancellation of their British passport if they have another nationality. As Theresa May, the Home Secretary, underlined, the only limitation to this could be that, according to the International Law, those citizens who have just one nationality could not be denied their citizenship otherwise they would be stateless.
Personalities such as George Carey, former archbishop of Canterbury, and the conservative David Davies maintained that it is important to deny both passport and citizenship to the Britons fighting for ISIS, even if it goes against the International Law. Davies justified his position stating that ‘Democracies have the right to defend themselves’, while Lord Carey declared that ‘Young people who travel abroad to commit violent “jihad” should know before they go that there is no going back to civilised society.’

Nevertheless, it is important to realise that, despite being considered illegal by the International Law, the practice of refusing re-entry to the British Jihadis could also have a negative effect on their behaviour, and thus strengthen their extremist thoughts. As a matter of fact, as Rachel Briggs argues, scared and disillusioned foreign fighters need support, rather than being considered enemies or treated as ‘second-class citizens’. (God forbid that a jhadist feels this way.)

It goes on to discuss only prosecuting the “extreme” cases… any returning jihadist is “extreme” treason, head smack or “rehabilitation” which is known not to work. Coddling people that hate you and want to kill you is mental illness. You can’t possibly monitor war hardened people 24/7 or stop them from recruiting more for more attacks in the country they returned home to. Never let them back in.

Who gives a damn if they are left stateless? They knew exactly what they were doing when they left whatever country they were living in to go and be terrorists and murderers.
If they manage to get back, fun them down wherever they are found, without mercy. Otherwise let them rot to death in the desert hellholes they chose.

Nope Achmed, you left to become a citizen of the Islamic State and that made any other citizenship null and void. Infact it made you an enemy of civilization in general. As for the your theological cousins still in the UK? Surely the UK has surplus parachutes and cargo planes to spare…

The British political establishment has been lying to the public on one thing after another for as long as I can remember and the other favorite tactic to avoid proper scrutiny is deceiving by omission which is nearly as bad.

As we witness right now, the politicking over BREXIT is sickening but it’s what they all love doing, it makes them feel important but in me it induces disgust and contempt.

Very few are worth spitting on if consumed by fire.

It is truly agonizing to watch them keep REMAIN alive.
Just when you think they can’t possibly come up with another illogical delay, they do!

Over here, a big part of Trump winning was immigration. Look at the fight we have putting up a wall and how the swamp denies a crisis at out open border. More are coming than ever before. Mind games!

Every last one of these jihadist fighters has been conditioned to carry the battle forward once they return to their “homes.” Its part of the fundamental battle and policy orders of ISIS, and one that can only be ignored under penalty of death. They will strike whether today, next week or a decade from now!
