Surely if the US have them they they can put them on trial and throw them in one of their charming bijou slammers.

Probably because they are ours....actually I thought you couldn't take away someone's citizenship and make them stateless......Of course I maybe wrong.

They murdered British citizens, so they should be tried in a British Court, so that the relatives of those killed can see that justice is done.

// They are responsible for beheadings in Iraq and Syria, most notably as shown in the beheading videos of American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, in 2014. The group also guarded more than 20 Western hostages of ISIL in Western Raqqa, Syria. They were harsher than other ISIL guards, torturing captives with electroshock weapons and subjecting them to mock executions (including a crucifixion) and waterboarding. //

" - where as I agree they should be tried for those crimes, I trust the yanks to do a better job of it and if they end up in a US jail for the rest of their lives then great. We'll probably let them out after 10 and give them £30k benefits and council house and legal aid to sue us because their kazi faced mecca or something. Leave it to the yanks

Much better for therm to face execution in the US, I am sure the relatives of their victims can then really see that justice has been done, rather than a soft sentence they would most likely get here in the UK.

I wonder where the mother of one of them is getting the money from in her bid to defend her son?

As I said at the time, I’m still miffed at the Kurds for not despatching them in situ at the time of their capture.
Massive opportunity missed IMHO.

AOG:"I wonder where the mother of one of them is getting the money from in her bid to defend her son? " - 1 guess!

[Deskdiary]

If I was family of one of the people these scumbags killed, I'd much much rather they were tried in the states.

[gulliver1]

They should be crucified.

I see.
You are more interested in saving money than you are in justice.

If they’d have been executed with a 9mm through the back of the skull at the time of capture, both objectives would have been achieved 100%.

Gromit: "You are more interested in saving money than you are in justice. " - who mentioned money? I want them tried in a place that will do a proper job of it.

You forgot the bill to the parents for the 9mm a la chinese style. :-)

[youngmafbog]

Much better chance of proper justice in the US.

[Old_Geezer]

They are no longer British; we have no responsibility for other world citizens save that which we share with all other nations. We don't need to offer entry, they should be passed over to the legal process in the country they've ended up in.

I would dearly love them to be tried in USA, there will be a far better outcome there.

Was he born a British citizen, or did he commit perjury when taking the oath of allegiance. Either way he should be deported at least.

i do not consider them members of the human race anymore, i have more respect for cockroaches, not justice in the uk, let alone europe
human rights act an all that, no capital punishment...these guys
do not deserve fair justice, they would be out in a few years, and hailed by some over here even worshiped...
