I would hope upon hope that someone in Isis considers them traitors, with their whimpering when being held to account for their inhuman behaviour, and beheads them at the first opportunity. See them scream then. Never more deserving cases for a good dose of Karma!

I don't think they should have had their citizenship revoked. Not at all. I think that they should have been shot where they stood the moment they were captured. No expensive trial, no constant appeals... they should have turned them into the best kind of terrorists: dead ones.

If you join IS, whether you commit acts of terrorism or not, you should be held accountable as a terrorist or at least aiding and abetting terrorists.
I disagree completely with the notion of responding to brutality with brutality, anyone we capture alive should get a trial for their crimes and face punishment if found guilty. The Judge Dredd approach is weak and easy.

Whereas adding to our overpopulated prisons at the taxpayers' expense is better? I'd rather see them barred from returning to the UK and left to rot with ISIS, but bothering to drag them here and allowing them to become another burden to the system is pretty far down on the list of responses.

Well the Kurdish government has them so it's their justice system they'll face but like it or not, brittish people are our responsibility. We can't just pawn the worst of us onto other countries when it suits us.
If you're that worried about overcrowding and tax funding in prisons then perhaps you should campaign for the or decrease in sentence of minor crimes that ultimately do not require imprisonment. That will do more to help the situation then worrying about two more inmates guilty of terrorism potentially breaking the camel's back.

Because they're still british citizens and when they commit crimes against the UK then they should face the full extent of UK law.
I've always said in topics that are about UK people being prosecuted (like the drug dealing incidents) that I believe they should face trial in the UK so to say differently in this topic would be hypocrisy on my part.

I agree but only allowed to 'stay where they are' in the PRONE position DEAD.
Otherwise - if they ARE tried here and jailed - they will add to all the other imprisoned Jihadists who have GREAT success using all that free time to RADICALISE other prisoners and convert them to their Jihadist cause.
The above is a very REAL and GROWING problem in British prisons.

They relinquished any 'British Citizenship' when they committed TREASON by VOLUNTARILY leaving these shores and joining a Terrorist Organisation which is at WAR with the UK and by committing the most savage, inhuman, and evil murders of INNOCENT civilians - Brits among them - in the service of that Terrorist Organisation.

Except they haven't and things like human rights are made meaningless if we grant and take them away at will. How does endorsing execution of prisoners without due course make you any better than the people you oppose? senseless murder does not make it okay for us to kill prisoners in similar ways. IT doesn't make us any better than they are. We must do better and be better, not respond in kind just because it's easy, it's the weak way of doing things.
The concern about radicalisation is easily handled by simply isolating terrorists from general prisoners.

HUMAN RIGHTS? Let's think about that term;
Is the act of BEHEADING a terrified, cowered, outnumbered, unarmed, civilian the ACT of a HUMAN?
NOT in my book.
Thus, bastards such as these have NO 'Human Rights' because when they committed these EVIL atrocities they CEASED being 'Human' - IN MY BOOK.
It beggars belief that callous murderers such as these can carry out cowardly acts as inhuman and totally incomprehensible as these on other INNOCENT human beings and there are people who want to harp on about THEIR 'Human Rights' - what about the 'Human Rights' of all the poor, poor slaughtered VICTIMS and their distraught grieving families?

I think they should be allowed to serve any sentences in the UK if they provide the military with usable intelligence against IS (or whatever terrorist organisation they aligned themselves to when they left the UK). If they fail to provide information, withhold it or provide false information, they should not be allowed re-entry into the country (I don't think they should be tortured for the info either). I also think they need to be segregated from mainstream prison populations if they are brought back to the UK to avoid them being able to influence and radicalise others.

When you pick and choose which humans are worthy of human rights then Human Rights loses all it's meaning and the people that died to preserve those rights died for nothing. It's an all or nothing for deal, you either believe in Human Rights for all or Human Rights for no one. There is no grey area, you are for Human Rights or you are against it and to be against Human Rights is to piss on the sacrifices that was made to make Human Rights a reality.
As long as you fulfill the quota of being a human being then you have the right to Human Rights. Enemies that are taken prisoner in combat are entitled to a trial and justice should be dealt in the right way. If we forget that and start killing everyone regardless then we are no better.
You don't fight extremism with more extremism. Don't give into bloodlust and call it justice.

How have these two 'fulfilled the quota of being a human being' exactly?
I used to watch an American documentary series called 'Circuit 11 Miami' which was a Criminal Court in Miami which had allowed TV cameras into the courthouse during murder cases.
One case involved a 79-year-old (or so)ex-WW2 war hero - an ordinary working class old man - who lived alone.
Two total scumbags broke into his home and roughed him up so that he would give up any valuables or money which he might have had.
He INSTANTLY told them where he kept his few dollars he had but they tortured him and beat him to a pulp anyway - for fun.
The Crime Scene photos were graphic and horrific, but the program showed them.
They left him broken, bleeding, and battered beyond recognition, but before they left - just for more fun - they inserted biro pens in his ears and KICKED them deep into the old man's head.
I'm sorry, but I REFUSE to accept these bastards as 'Fulfilling ANY Human Quota'
Ditto these two terrorists.
Ditto Thompson and Venables if I'm being honest.
Ditto Brady and Hindley - ESPECIALLY Hindley who lived the 'High Life' in her boutique Hotel of a 'prison'.

You're not getting it.
A human is a human, you can't lose that status, you are always a human regardless of your actions. Human Rights are not based on merit or lack thereof. You are either for human rights for all or you are completely against human rights. There is no in between, no middle ground. It's black and white.
Responding with acts of violence with more acts of violence as retribution does not make whoever believes that to be true, right, it makes them the same as the people they condemn.

I brought up the human rights angle, not in response to this case but to the worrying fantasising and bloodlust of people who hope for executions without due course without realising that it's an attitude that's common with the enemy.
My view on this pair has not changed. I believe British criminals should face a British court of law for their crimes, it's what I've said for other crimes when they've been discussed on here and it would be hypocritical for me to deviate from that point of view and make exceptions in this case. I'd rather terrorists face life imprisonment and be seen as a failure by their peers than be made martyrs through execution.

Oh no - 'I do get it' but don't agree with 'it' and NEVER will.
As far as I am concerned:
'A human is a human' until he/she becomes INHUMAN by virtue of his/her inhuman acts.
Then they remain 'Human' purely in terms of Anatomy and Physiology and belonging to the genus 'Homo'. NOTHING more.
I am familiar with the 'Human Rights Act' but will never accept that its authors INTENDED it to be exploited and used to protect the 'RIGHTS' of inhuman bastards such as these and those others listed in my post.
I am sorry, but I will ask again;
What about the 'Human Rights ' of 'Humanitarian' Alan Henning and the other innocent victims and their families?
There is NO GREATER 'Human Right' than the 'RIGHT TO LIFE' and those guilty of intentionally depriving INNOCENT people of theirs - especially in the most depraved and INHUMAN of manners - SHOULD lose any rights they once enjoyed as 'Humans' including 'Human Rights', just as surely as their innocent victims lost their Right to Life.
To me, the 'Human Rights Act' has been exploited by Criminals, Murderers, Terrorists, and Subversives, just as surely as the Benefits System, The NHS, The Legal Aid System and a host of other 'Well-Meaning' innovations have been similarly exploited and abused.

It's a sad fact that the only time people get militant about Human Rights is when it applies to scumbags.
The UK has every right to remove the citizenship of these terrorists. But that doesn't mean they cannot be tried in the UK. Or in the USA. Or they may face trial under the Kurds. If they do far trial in the UK, it may be that we hand them over the the US to face trial anyway, because they are far harder on terrorists than we are here.
Everything that happens to these "people" will be by the book, and that includes having their citizenship stripped and to be tried in a court overseas.

I get militant about Human Rights for everyone which is why on every post on the subject I say that it's an all or nothing deal. When you start creating exceptions to rights you start to create a situation in which it's okay to strip someone of their rights and those situations can only spiral and be abused. It's easy and weak to strip away the rights of others and be all like 'YEAH! KILL 'EM ALL LIKE THE DOGS THEY ARE!' but attitudes like that just piss over the lives lost to preserve the rights we have.
like I said to Oliver, I brought human rights into the discussion, not because of this pair, but because of the posts endorsing execution without due process. I've said my piece on the pair.

I brought up the human rights angle, not in response to this case but to the worrying fantasising and bloodlust of people who hope for executions without due course without realising that it's an attitude that's common with the enemy.
My view on this pair has not changed. I believe British criminals should face a British court of law for their crimes, it's what I've said for other crimes when they've been discussed on here and it would be hypocritical for me to deviate from that point of view and make exceptions in this case. I'd rather terrorists face life imprisonment and be seen as a failure by their peers than be made martyrs through execution.
it's justice 101 to ensure that everybody arrested by our country receives a fair trial. It's countries like Russia and Libya (to name but a couple) where people are shot first and questions asked later. Just because someone commits a heinous act, doesn't mean that we should stoop to the same level. Justice is all that is required.

So nothing particular then. Your apparent love of Human Rights is incidental to you thinking they should be tried in the UK. Gotcha.

EXACTLY. It's not justice, it's just vengeance when you respond to a heinous act in kind.
