He claims that's not what he did. Unfortunately for him, British intelligence says otherwise. Also, on the weight of evidence, it's one thing to claim you were there to offer humanitarian aid; it's another thing to say it was through your own charity, and to have your wife and five kids with you in the war zone. It tends to suggest other allegiances.

His citizenship is being removed because of suspected links to al-Qaeda, and presumably because he’s lived in Syria for years.
The millions spent by the UK government were spent in the attempt, admittedly hopelessly unsuccessful, to battle a regime whose excesses were effectively aiding extremism. So I don’t see that it’s daft.

It is indeed: however I don’t think that would be the case with this person. I’m indifferent as to whether he has his citizenship withdrawn or not. I trust people with better knowledge than I have to do the right thing. Just as long as it’s not Chris “I believe in ferries” Grayling who has anything to do with it ;-)
