A senior government adviser has told the BBC that the authorities are not prosecuting many Islamic State volunteers, believing they should be reintegrated rather than punished.
Max Hill QC, who acts as the government’s Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation, told Radio 4 that “we do have a significant number [of Islamic State volunteers] already back in this country who have previously gone to Iraq and Syria” — currently estimated at something over 400.
“That means that the authorities have looked at them, and looked at them hard, and decided that they do not justify prosecution, and really we should be looking towards reintegration and moving away from any notion that we’re going to lose a generation thanks to this travel.”
“But that’s fascinating,” responded the BBC presenter.
“Because there is a school of thought, isn’t there, that looks and these people and thinks, ‘Well hang on a second they’ve gone to a place where mass murders were being committed, they’ve gone there voluntarily, they’ve gone there presumably because they have some enthusiasm for what was happening there’ — it is odd to treat them as if they’ve committed no offence,” he said.
“And it’s not a decision that MI5 and others will have taken lightly,” responded Hill.
“But they have left space, and I think they’re right to do so, for those who … traveled out of a sense of naivety, possibly with some brainwashing along the way, possibly in their mid-teens … We have to leave space for those individuals to diverted away from the criminal courts,” he insisted.

Good Lord! Are they really that stupid?
They’ve looked at them hard, and none of them have cut off more than seven or eight heads or raped more than 25 little boys and girls.
British authorities have no problem risking other peoples lives for their idiotic fantasies either.
Join ISIS and get free housing, food, education, travel etc, all at the expense of the British tax payer. Same something hurtful to Muslims on the internet> Off to the Tower of London for you.
OK, where’s the required RHETORICAL QUESTION alert??
insert rounds ..spin cylinder.. Squeeze trigger.. Repeat ‘til all rounds are discharged.. Repeat process.
Death Spiral, a party tradition since WW1.
Oh you silly little insurrectionists you! Who luvs ya! We do! We’ll just re-educate you as were socialists and know better!
Instead, they wish to create a lost nation.
This amounts to R&R for them. They’ll regroup and plan in comfort.
Someone should remind the Queen’s Counsel that the recent Manchester Arena bombing was carried out by a young man returning from Syria and Libya...
No.
The invasives have spoken.
“Good Lord! Are they really that stupid?”
The well-trained returnees will be sure to provide a good excuse to greatly expand governmental power.
Most likely, the British government wants the ISIS returnees telling others of their experience of death and destruction, of pointless infighting, greed, and betrayal by other Muslims, and of utter defeat. Some will become intel sources or agents for MI-5. The hard cases who still have some fight left will get prosecuted or removed from the country on other grounds.
War crimes trials back in Syria would be more appropriate.

Wonder if ‘A senior etc tc ‘ will live long enuf to see to see his/her progeny living as muzzys ? OR, be killed for their faith in front of each other ??
The cowardly British authorities need to stock up on candles and teddy bears for the next round of post-slaughter weeping and fake promises.
Glad I wasnt born British....
Chris Plante is right when he says that Europe and the UK owes us bigtime for turning their future problems into grease smudges in the desert. Idiotic brits.
