I watched the Stacey Dooley programme and the very same thoughts crossed my mind. The camps seemed like a very fertile breeding ground for indoctrination and radicalisation.

It would take a huge investment and the very best in their fields to " help" people move on.

Jack Letts has had his British citizenship revoked. He left the UK, aged 18, to go to Syria to fight for IS and has willingly admitted that he was "definitely an enemy of Britain" and didn't expect to be allowed to return here anyway. He won't be left stateless because he has dual citizenship with Canada, although Canada hasn't yet decided on whether they will allow him to go there either.

In the long term, what on earth will become of the thousands of men, women and children who are now stuck in camps, unable to go back to their countries and make a life for themselves and families? How can this be resolved when there is so much distrust, that those who were radicalised, are able to be accepted back into western society?
