Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We the people demand the Government cease their proposals under 'Operation Constrain' to permit entry into the UK of returning IS Islamic extremists, and offering counselling, support, housing, welfare assistance to Islamic extremists, in effort to stop them carrying out attacks in Britain.
Reported 20,000 extremists investigated by MI5 targeted with ‘bribes’ aimed at turning them away from extremism (See: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5027683/Council-house-bribes-UK-terror-suspects.html#ixzz4x606qFNz).

Proposals offer returning jihadists taxpayer-funded housing and help into work “fundamental error” amounting to bribes to terrorists (See: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/10/29/extremists-returning-jihadists-offered-council-house-bribes/?WT.mc_id=tmg_share_fb)
