Passport Seizures To Keep UK Jihadis Out

David Cameron is to fast-track plans to confiscate passports and stop those who have joined terror groups returning to the UK.

By Jason Farrell, Senior Political Correspondent

Britons suspected of plotting to leave the UK to join IS could have their passports confiscated under new laws, David Cameron has said.

Returning British jihadists could also be barred from returning to the UK for at least two years.

The new measures to combat terrorism will be introduced to Parliament by the end of this month, the Prime Minister announced.

(sure thing dufus. Give them a couple more years to train and pick up newer skills. )

In a speech to the Australian Parliament in Canberra, David Cameron said: “We have to deal with the threat of foreign fighters planning attacks against our people.”

The PM said the root cause of terrorism is not poverty or foreign policy, but “the extremist narrative” of hate preachers.

(that’s a fair statement as far as it goes. but he didn’t mention how peaceful islam is)

He said: “We must confront this extremism in all its forms. We must ban extremist preachers from our countries. We must root out extremism from our schools, universities and prisons.”

Under the new powers, police and border officers could temporarily confiscate a passport if they have “reasonable suspicion” that an individual is travelling abroad to engage in terrorism-related activity.

Those passports could be seized for up to 30 days with a magistrate’s review after 14 days - and they could be taken multiple times.

The individual would also be placed on a “no-fly” list for the duration of the order.

Fer gosh sake they can’t even deport hardened criminals and look how long it took to deport the hook handed one eyed preacher of death to the USA.  10 years, was it?  I can’t remember but you can look it up. Was very long time.

Those who persisted in trying to get back might then be escorted by UK authorities and could either face prosecution in the UK or be put on Terrorism Investigation and Prevention Measures (TPIMs)

David Cameron told the Australian Parliament: “Your Prime Minister has given a strong international lead on this, helping to galvanise the UN Security Council with a powerful address.

(not one word about firing squads or long jail time.  Oh dear, how frightening. Put on the list above.  Yeah. That’ll put the frighteners on them for certain.)

He added: “We must work with the overwhelming majority of Muslims who abhor the twisted narrative that has seduced some of our people.

We must continue to celebrate Islam as a great world religion of peace.”

Well, about time he got to that.  We knew eventually he would. Didn’t we?

Have you guys noticed that almost every time a politician knocks the terrorists, they end with the reminder that islam is ...
say it all together now .....

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
