Wonder how long before reality of life in a sthole dawns? A year or two maybe.

Ooh, not very long. Probably from the moment they realise lube won't be a requirement....

You do have a valid point there tbh.

If people want to go then I don't want to stop them, I'd rather they take their views and lifestyle and live elsewhere.

100% agree, if they want to go, let them, in fact help them on their way. However we need to ensure that they are not allowed to return, passing on their newly acquired ideals and skills !!

That's better.

I can't see the problem here?

If they have all decided they want to go and live with IS, then just let them. It's up to them what they want to do.

I can't understand why we are trying to ban/confiscate passports from all those wanting to travel to be with IS? Just tell them they are free to leave but tell them in no uncertain terms that they cannot return.

That way everyone is happy.

Apparently 'thousands per day' are leaving their countries and joining IS, and this seems fine to me as well. If that's the sort of regime they really want to live in, then it's better they were all together rather than spread throughout the west just feeling angry about it.

^ the 'problem' (depending on your point of view) is they can return. There is no legal method of preventing them.

Then straight to jail they go....

Great more expense looking after them, followed by more waste on scummy "uman" rights lawyers for them funded by the taxpayer

The message going out to them from the Police is one of you not having done anything wrong so won't be charged or treated as terrorists if you make you way back 'home' in this case. My line would be one of saying if you go, we don't want you back.

Well we can't refuse them entry so what choice would we have? Hopefully they will stay put in their chosen paradise.

The publicity just makes it harder for them to slip back into the UK claiming they have been on vacation. Look at the case of the daft woman from Stafford that went over with her baby and then hot footed it back when the reality of life with ISIS took hold. She is now being prosecuted for being a member of ISIS and inciting others etc.

Also, once they have confirmed they have moved abroad, it allows the UK authorities to stop any benefits payments they may have been receiving.
