Don't give extremists homes, jobs and counselling

Closed 8,824 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government is apparently considering plans, codenamed Operation Constrain, to offer extremists previously investigated by MI5, and returning jihadists, help with council housing, jobs and counselling. This is supposed to prevent them carrying out attacks in Britain.
Operation Constrain would be an obscene insult to every British taxpayer, and particularly those that have worked hard and paid taxes all their lives and been told they have no chance of getting council accommodation. It will be seen as a bribe to stop fanatics committing terrorist offences in this country and a reward for doing so, or considering doing so, in the past. The plans must be withdrawn immediately.
