Can the Home Secretary please remove my passport as i now feel i am not English or even British but something far less and yet to contemplate being a terrorist never ever can cross a well balanced mind yet when one has nothing to loose and being treated like a scum bag harms the mind of the many and yet it only takes a few and yet why am i typing this sat in this dank smelly hostel as my home is but a few miles away now repossessed and family moved away and being treated like a leper and forced to go begging bread and yet growing a beard commands attention and at least food

In the end, all this citizenship stripping is a racist enterprise.

Remember when the IRA were letting off a bomb once a week? Remember when they targeted the government? Not one Northern Ireland republican lost his/citizenship.

My advise to every ethnic minority and mixed raced individual in the UK is to take great care because the racist running dogs have been unleashed and some of them work for the security services.

How many New IRA terrorists have had their citizenship stripped?

Is it a black thing?

As for the cuckoos garbage talk, is the reference Australia, the Americas, New Zealand? There most definitely are plenty of cuckoos.

It is easy to dismiss people and cultures that seems alien to you (as seen from your use of the word ‘Allah’ as if God is exclusively Christian and Allah is exclusively Muslim), but in the same way some may decide you or people you like are a threat and penalize you without public court or presumption of innocence, e.g. because they were environmental activists (damaging business interests), experienced some problems (too old, too ill, liked alcohol or drugs too much), joined another church (national interests/dangerous sect), did not toe the government’s line or simply had a weird hair/dress style.

Today you applaud the government for cutting corners, but when tomorrow it is something against your interests someone else may applaud it for being ruthlessly efficient.

Shona, tell you what, just take Blair. He made the decisions to declare war illegally. Everyone else is “just following orders”. Just like terrorists say Allah told them to do it.

Hmm…I think ‘alleged’ was the key word, was it not…

And we wonder why they hate us.

This is a typical and frankly understandable reaction to persecution of people we don’t like very much. I hold dual UK/US nationality, here in the US the march of state abuse of power is a little more advanced, citizens (who are indeed a threat and likely guilty) can simply be killed without indictment or appearance in court.

Yet I cannot bring myself to cheer along with the “us vs them” crowd. When states wield this kind of power we are all at risk, the lack of concern for whom these powers are excercised against is almost counted on, its human nature. But, I beg you to see beyond who is targeted today with this kind of. lawlessness and think who might be targeted tomorrow. Give the government an inch…

If these people are a threat, of which I have little doubt, then indict and try. Burden of proof is becoming an easily dodgable tenent these days, accusations of threat or terrorism should not satisfy us.

GOOD! I hope your’e not expecting sympathy for these people? If they’re terrorists willing to murder, they should expect to pay the consequences!
