Two ISIS "Beatles" may face death penalty

Well are we surprised.White skin colour of the miscreants and totally different reaction from the most racist politician in the country.

Pair of evil *****.

..... the terrorists that is, not you two above

Plenty of MP's on both sides of the house called the decision shameful. Don't get me wrong.I would prefer the scum to avoid the death penalty and be forced to live whatever is left of their lives in a US prison. Death is too good for them. What the Home Secretary is doing is wrong though even though they deserve to die.

before they were captured they would have been targets for british drones to kill them.

execute em and martyrs are created, jail em and some nutter will use them as a chip
and will seek their freedom by doubtful means

we should continue to oppose death penalty , ...

they may of course be sentenced to death, and make no appeal against it

What a disgraceful person she is.

she is only representing her constituency members

read what you like into that

it is all a bit scarey

she massively increased her vote last time

like other things about her that have increased

I don't know anyone who likes Diane Abbott, or thinks she should have her job!
Personally I rarely, if ever agree with anything she says.

But posting stuff from the Mail isn't good, posting stuff from 'Guido Fawkes' is even worse, it's partly the choice of reading that makes this forum the "think-tank" it now is.

She isn't alone in opposing the death penalty, the other MP's who say the same aren't being quoted because Abbott is good press.

lfc.
Have you considered taking up American citizenship or applying to move there (become an immigrant), given you think everything American is so great?

applying the same logic should brussels be the place for you study

It is a bit troublesome if this neo nazi trumpton is making it better for his voters and making piece deals with two despots who threaten the world(so the tell me) 

we simply have to put him in his plaice as a moron etc

what had obomba done be 4??  although a  much better placeman for the US establishment

So why might Mr Javid take this decision, in apparent breach of long-standing British policy?
He says in his letter he has "strong reasons" for not seeking any assurances. He does not say what these reasons are.
But he suggests that this case is "distinct" because the two fighters of British origin - part of the so-called "Beatles group" - are accused of kidnapping and murdering UK and US citizens, how they are treated will be an example to others, and there is a need to deliver justice to their victims' relatives.
But none of this explains why Mr Javid might want to risk the political backlash that will follow any decision to weaken Britain's opposition to the death penalty.
Perhaps the real motivation is the government's desperation to avoid having to try these two men in Britain.
They are currently being held in northern Syria by the Syrian Democratic Forces. They have been stripped of their UK nationality.

From the BBC report. Surely that last sentence is relevant here. Or am I wrong in assuming that we would only ask for leniency when British citizens are involved.

Live By The Sword ............ quite literally !

I watched the debate in Parliament yesterday - indicative of just how out of touch they are.

I get the legal argument, the precedent argument, the martyrdom argument, all of that. But to see people appointed to represent the people arguing lest these scumbags be harmed by Uncle Sam was simply disgusting.

first off, they were stripped of their British citizenship, so they have no rights.
secondly, and more importantly, they are terrorist scum, so human rights don't apply

death sentence fully deserved IMO, and I'm fully in favour when it comes to the worst scum on the planet (terrorists, child killers, and pedos)

but, the islamist nutters are a special case, because they want to be martyrs.
So in their case, I would just keep them based up for life, and have them endure daily (public) humiliation(that is their worst nightmare)

It amazes me that those who have no regard for human rights are then defended by those who do. As for me, fxxk em ! Death penalty or life in a US jail within the general prison population (Same outcome) As for Abbott

I don't want to be better !

I think life in jail in an American prison would be a better call than the death penalty. I do understand why people would want them to be executed and I am not averse to it for them but I think what The Home Secretary has done is very dangerous. There is a Tory MP asking for the Laws on treason to be changed and that is dangerous and misguided. We are nearly at the 200th Anniversary of the Peterloo massacre. Were the victims there treasonous? Some were jailed!

denzil............never seen a person talk in so riddles like you
