IS has effectively just signed its own death warrant.

B*stards, the lot of 'em. They're smart though, having one of their British fighters carrying the execution, they know exactly what they're doing.

You would like to think so wouldn't you. It will be interesting to see what Obama does now.

Of course. But while it gets the attention of the public around the world. It also concentrates the attention of the US military squarely on them.

I'd actually say it's a pretty dumb thing to do.

Yep. He'll have to respond in some fashion. And he can't now allow a campaign against IS to just fizzle out after a few weeks of bombing them. He'll have to see it through to the end now.

He is not British - It is the one thing through all this that seriously winds me up, when they describe these jihadists as 'British'.... They lose the right to be called British, the moment that they sign up for this nonsense.

Our authorities know who these scum are who are signing up for this 'holy' war - Simply, their passports should be voided and they should never ever step foot back in this country (if they attempt it).

remember the crusades?

How on earth do you "void" the passport of someone who was born and raised here?

The state cannot simply make a British citizen stateless, no matter what crimes they may have committed.

You've come up with some wild [is[/ihit it the past but this surpasses anything previous

Not one born here, no, but a naturalised one, yes. And apparently in recent times the Home Secretary has served at least 27 Notices of Deprivation, doing exactly that, regardless.

By an astonishing co-incidence, at least 2 of those were killed by US drones shortly afterwards.

But, we did in 1961 sign up to the UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, so that's all right.

I thought passports can be confiscated/cancelled without any need for any legal process does it not say that inside your passport? Is the issue of the passport not at the discretion on the Home Office?

What does the 1961 convention state ?

Nigel Farage has been promoting himself as a sage on everything on TV again by declaring that there is a law still in force from the 1870s that allows the country to remove citizenship from anyone found to be guilty of aiding a foreign state, he believes it was used in the two world wars for anyone who opted to fight for Germany (for instance).

Its possible that Nigel may not have researched the subject properly though.

If the guy carrying out that execution was born and raised in Britain, and has a British passport, then he is technically Brtish, regardless of his actions.

Still a horrible c*nt, though.

To pick a single point

How is this relevant? It is not compulsory for any British citizen to ever hold a passport, and cancellation of a passport is irrelevant to nationality.
