    Let’s be honest, this is never going to happen. You have to understand the real politique rules that exist here: if you’re brown and join a fighting force overseas - terrorist. If you’re white - woah woah woah let’s not get carried away here maybe they’re just doing medical or logistics roles.

    British citizens will still head over to Israel and fight for the IDF and then happily return freely to the UK afterwards. And not a damned thing will change 😥🙃.

      Charge them. If the court wants to be wormy fine. Charge them. Make the courts confess their two-faced practices. Bring up the charges, make them show their bare behinds to the world, publicize far and wide. Talk about it. Make some noise.

        I’m sure the DPP would love to live in a world where he had the resource to prosecute even in cases he didn’t think he had a chance.
