Prime Minister David Cameron has announced tough measures against Britons planning to fight in Iraq and Syria, and battle-hardened jihadists who could return to launch attacks at home.
Cameron said his government would draw up measures to ban suspects who are British nationals from returning to the UK, while police will get enhanced powers to temporarily strip departing suspects of passports at the border.
“Adhering to British values is not an option or a choice. It is a duty for all those who live in these islands so we will stand up for our values, we will in the end defeat this extremism and we will secure our way of life for generations to come,” Cameron told Parliament. [Source]
His decisiveness was in sharp contrast to the vacillation of Obama who spent yesterday playing golf.
