When a citizen leaves their country of birth to join a terrorist enemy, then wants back in said country, that person faces an uphill battle. 5o give aid and comfort, then sleep with an enemy, makes that person a TRAITOR.

This is an issue for the British government to work out. Had it been an American, like with the American Taliban fighter from 2002, I would say, prison for life.
