Leaving aside the derisory sentence given I thought there was a mechanism to keep people who posed a threat to the public behind bars. As this chap refused to go on a deradicalisation course that surely qualifies him.

Yup. I'm sure that would have some effect on him.

Keeping them behind bars Howard, only seems to give them a more receptive audience for radicalisation. Releasing them in the manner we do at present doesn’t work either.
Either way it’s costly for the taxpayers so why not deport them?
Do nothing and nothing happens.

Prison doesn't appear to work as they can get worse inside

He was kept away from other prisoners for that reason Bob, we can't deport him as he was born here.

I think the very reason we give him air space shows we are doing something wrong

A despicable individual given only a derisory sentence in the first instance. He knows how to play the system and will continue to do so, and why not, he knows that our policy is not to upset too much those that follow his ideology and teachings. That no doubt would be seen as “racist” or something similar, so that has to be avoided of course at all costs.
Regardless of the provisions supposedly put in place to basically shut him up, I can’t believe it will be too long before he’s back spouting his bile against the indigenous population. He’ll probably get police protection while he does it as well!

It was stressed that his licence conditions would keep him in check but the controls run out after only 6 months. If he had been on the frontline of terrorist activity I would understand it as the security services would have been given a lead. Should he go back to the pulpit in person or online we will only know how well he has done after more atrocities have been committed.
