What should be done with a foreign man who has been a 'hardened terrorist' since he was 16, was a member of the group which beheaded Briton Ken Bigley, and went on to join an Isis unit which conducted stonings, beheadings and mass executions? A normal country would deport or permanently jail him. If he was back in the Middle East, he'd be hanged. But in the UK, when this man, the Iraqi Mohammed Yaseen, arrived illegally (leaving Germany after serving a sentence for his Isis membership), we locked him up for six months and then set him free. Despite a British court being told that Yaseen poses 'a danger to the whole of the UK', he has applied for asylum and it is being reported that our own Foreign Office 'has raised concerns' that he could face 'mistreatment' if he's returned to Iraq. 'Mistreatment' because he's a terrorist, you understand. Yaseen's asylum claim will be funded by British taxpayers, as will all the legal aid he receives. ✍️ David Shipley Article | spectator.com/article/why-wa… | @ShipleyWrites
