The Home Secretary is considering restricting British citizens from traveling to Syria. This is possible under recent terrorism laws. While on the face of it this sounds reasonable to fight terrorism, it really doesn't sit comfortably with me. We used to deride the Soviet Union for restricting their citizens travel and held ourselves up as morally superior for not having to do so.
But we are now in a situation where the government can stop you or I traveling to somewhere it decides we should not go.
I find this completely unacceptable.
