Forgive me, but there’s really only one apposite phrase to describe these people:

Gordon Brown is being urged to intervene to stop the Home Office
banning a British resident from returning home after more than four
years at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.

Campaigners expressed fury after ministers said Jamil el-Banna’s
permission to stay in Britain had lapsed during the four-and-a-half
years he has been held without charge at the US detention camp.

Yes, there’s lots more in the article but seriously, they’re saying that as he’s been locked up, unable to come to Britain, for the past four and a half years, this shows that he no longer has the requisite connection to Britain to allow him to come here.

Absolute wankers, the lot of them.
