Stupid on steroids. Who exactly is losing out if “we” are not allowing a bunch of unassimilable Mohammedan savages to return to Britain?
Surge in terror cases as jihadis flood back to Britain: Prosecutors mass hire more lawyers as Islamist and far-right extremists return to the UK
- Sue Hemming called for counter-terrorism powers to prosecute appropriately
- They would be used where ‘traditional investigative powers are not sufficient’
- Counter-terror prosecutor Ms Hemming said CPS is to launch recruitment drive
Prosecutors have hit back at claims jihadis returning to Britain from Syria should not face justice amid a surge in terror cases.
Sue Hemming, head of the counter-terrorism and special crime division at the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), has called for specific powers to be used against homegrown extremists Islamic terrorists who fought for ISIS.
She noted that charges such as murder were used often in such cases, but in many instances the conduct alleged needed to be prosecuted using the wide range of terrorism offences on the statute book.
Ms Hemming has also disclosed that the CPS is set to launch a recruitment drive in response to a spike in terror cases.
The call for new powers comes after an anti-terror watchdog said ‘naive’ teenagers who return to Britain after fighting for ISIS should be allowed to reintegrate rather than face prosecution.
Max Hill QC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said hundreds of Britons coming home after serving under the brutal terror group in Iraq and Syria have not been charged to avoid ‘losing a generation’ of young men.

However, speaking at the National Security Summit in London, Ms Hemming said bringing the jihadis to justice was a matter of national security.
She said: ‘We must recognise that specific counter-terrorism powers are necessary, and acting early to safeguard public safety means that traditional investigative powers are not always sufficient.
‘And prosecutors need offences available to prosecute those who rightly need to be brought to justice, where traditional criminal offences do not fit conduct that rightly calls for punishment.
Around half of the estimated 850 UK citizens who joined ISIS in the Middle East have since returned, according to official figures.

‘Unlike other criminal offending, we are usually dealing with the intent to cause fear or harm for a terrorist purpose, and punishing the conduct rather than the consequences.
