Re: Liberal Democrat conference/manifesto
Apparently, the home affairs spokesman for the Lib Dems, Christine Jardine, will call for a shake-up of the power of the Home Secretary to revoke citizenship as happened in the Begum case. She wants the best interest of the terrorists' children to be taken into account.
Jardine stated: “The decision to strip someone of their citizenship is a very serious one and should only be taken when absolutely necessary. Instead, we have seen Conservative home secretaries abuse this power for political gain with tragic results.
“These are people brought up, often born here, with families and loved ones who deserve a government that will take responsibility when they are radicalised and go abroad to join terrorists. They should be prosecuted in the UK for their crimes and interrogated to learn exactly how this happens and prevent terrorists from recruiting more young Brits".
That should go down well with the British public!
