And apparently Canada's not too pleased as he's half Canadian,
I bet they're not ! He's now their problem ,if they also strip him he's then stateless ,good!!! Although I do feel sorry for his Oxfordshire parents

"Although I do feel sorry for his Oxfordshire parents"

I dont - they have been found guilty of funding terrorism. Pity they cant have their citizenship revoked too.

I don’t understand why you feel sorry for his parents,
They should have been jailed for sending him money.

Have to agree with the above two comments Bobbi.

[naomi24]

Good riddance.

[Bobbisox1]

I feel sorry for what they'll probably face themselves , as I wasn't sure if they knew they were funding his terrorism activities, but just checked and they were, so you are all correct in not feeling sorry for them

[Rockrose]

He broke the as did his parents justice should be served

[Jordyboy9]

I don’t want to harp on about this but the suspended sentence handed out to the parents in my opinion is a disgrace,
What kind of message does that send out to others?

// The move can only be made against people with two passports, because international law prevents the Government from making anyone "stateless". //

I can see why Canada might be annoyed, but that's tough. They should have done it before we did if they didn't want him either.

R v Letts went to the House of Lords sort of
on whether it could be a crime if you had no crim intent
and er - I think they said you had to have

it then went to trial on the facts and they were convicted
as the jury found they DID know - - - I think

They had had an email from Jack and sent his air ticket money to him - I think having been told not to .....[Hence the Supreme Ct case - IF they had no criminal intent, then could they be convicted ? their lordships rehearsed Sweet v Parsley 1970, the great bet nwarz of the law courses Jackdaw and I did, yes fifty years ago]

Not making people stateless is from treaty law of the late forties (and doesnt originate in the EU but is course part of EU law - and ours) - and the leading case is now in Re K
For Shahmeem B - they are relying on the 'fact' she 'could be pakistani rather than is

The real problem as shown by the carrot haired Beebster on Panorama - is that none of them are repentant
none of them say - o god, mein gott, ya allahu ! what a gool I have been!
it is much more like - what did I do wrong huh? and by the way I would do it again ..... up to and including travelling to Syria and getting into this mess

oh the surviving Beatles are now not opposing extradition

The Iraqis where they are in prison are starting their own war crimes trials lasting all of 35 mins each. just making sure they are shooting the right people I suppose

so yeah the jihadi Beatles have started - - singing
( playing along etc )
