Britain needs to take urgent action to stop citizens traveling to fight in Syria and other conflicts, a parliamentary committee said on Friday, amid fears they could be radicalized there and return to carry out attacks on their homeland.

...

Britain and other European governments have stepped up warnings in recent months that Muslims who go to fight against the forces of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria could end up posing a threat to their home countries.

Security chiefs reckon several hundred Britons have joined the Syrian conflict.

Last month, British counter-terrorism police launched a campaign to help Muslim women dissuade young people in their communities from trying to go to Syria.

"Stopping British men and women going to become foreign fighters, in Syria and other theatres of conflict, and engaging with them when they return is vital to avoid endangering the security of the UK for many years to come," said committee chairman Keith Vaz.

The article doesn't really say how, except for saying that people who are thinking about going need to be 'dissuaded'.

The Scottish people are part of Britain, it's those folks in Northern Ireland that are not Well, for now at any rate.
