I wish the media would stop calling these convicted terrorists BRITISH.

What has happened to the word Traitor?

These traitors should give up all entitlement of still carrying the proud name 'British'.

[Gormless]

The more usual and PC term is "British Asians" - which is a racist term, and enables them to claim all the advantages of being "British" while at the same time preserving the laudable positive discriminatory benefits conferred on them by the word "Asian".

Ah Patriotism - the last refuge of the scoundrel

If they were born here, what else can we call them other than British? They are traitors, but if they weren't British they couldn't be described as such.

Are traitors still executed? I thought that law still stands.

[ghetto poet]

when will they stop calling daily mail readers british and start calling them racist bigots.

No the law doesn't stand - no one in this country can be executed under the Human Rights Act

"They are traitors, but if they weren't British they couldn't be described as such."

Nail on the head.

It is a worldwide slur on Britain to announce that these traitors are British born.

We are quickly acquiring the name as the breeding ground of the world's terrorists.

But AOG, the fact is they are British. You can't make them into something else just because you don't like it.
