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).

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 shit 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.
