Mr Hill does qualify his warnings with '......it doesn’t follow as a matter of fact that those who chose to go to live or fight abroad will bring that fight back to this country.”

If the French experience at attempted de-radicalisation is anything to go by, it doesn't bode well for the UK. Their experience at de-radicalisation of Jihadists a is a "Total Fiasco".
A new report implies that deradicalization, either in specialized centers or in prisons, does not work because most Islamic radicals do not want to be deradicalised, (well, there's a surprise!).
'Although France is home to an estimated 8,250 hardcore Islamic radicals, only 17 submitted applications and just nine arrived. Not a single resident has completed the full ten-month curriculum.
By housing Islamists in separate prison wings, they actually had become more violent because they were emboldened by "the group effect," according to Justice Minister Jean-Jacques Urvoas.'

This is usually part of a lobbying for more money process.
Stories like this are planted in the media, and the public are left anxious. The public ask the politicians what they are doing about it, and the politicians ask the Security Services what can be done. They say we can do this, this and this, - BUT WE NEED MORE MONEY. Politicians say here is £x hundreds of millions, and MI6 say 'thank you very much.
Of course the £x hundreds of millions would be better spent on employing enough border control guards to actually keep these people out. But the system doesn't work like that.

How do you stop the ones arriving in the backs of lorries or in dingies that arrive in tiny beaches on the south coast.

Just been looking at the role of the Independent Reviewer, and it is clean that the new appointee is either over-hyping the task, or the Telegraph are.
What he is actually doing is best summed up by his predecessor, David Anderson QC:
//
David Anderson Q.C.
Welcome! I am an independent Q.C. and not part of the government machine. I am tasked with reviewing the operation of the United Kingdom’s anti-terrorism laws. Where I am critical, I recommend change. My reports and recommendations are submitted to ministers and laid before Parliament.
As reviewer I have a very high degree of access both to classified documents and to those most closely involved with defence against terrorism:
police
security and intelligence agencies
prosecutors
civil servants
Ministers
Such openness to an outsider is impressive, and has few parallels in other countries. Though I cannot publish secret materials, my access to them helps me to inform in a distinctive manner the important public and political debate on terrorism and civil liberties.
But access to the secret state, though vital, is not enough. I need to be familiar also with the work of scholars, NGOs, lawyers, judges, journalists, politicians and campaigners, to have some idea of how difficult issues are dealt with in other countries, and to hear from people who have been exposed to anti-terrorism powers that to them may seem intrusive or oppressive.
I am grateful to all those who give their time to educate me in these matters. If you have something you think it would be useful for me to see or know, please get in touch. //
