My comment was "depriving of citizenship"

Incarceration gets close to that in the first place, can inmates vote?

If you can't be part of society you are deprived. If you are dead you are not part of society, especially if any money you don't have can't benefit society after you are gone.

It was a a sideways comment on the death penalty in context. But I stand by "deprive".

Staying "on thread" the UK would appear to have educated the man, and its citizens would appear to have re-educated him. So we are responsible for the mess, and the clean-up.

But then there are tactics to all of this, and when the UK mans-up to its responsibility, the guy will be a little softer to handle. I predict.
And there is the message it sends to others: jihadists, potential jihadists, and their parents. It's tactics, stupid.
