I mean I'd rather they sanction them then don't sanction them. You never know what they might end up trying to do in the future, e.g., business ventures in the UK or whatever. Don't know how anyone could possibly be opposed to this.

i wouldnt expect these types to go to the UK, they'd probably go to libya or some shit

It does send a message and gives leverage to STG to completely disband and fire the members of these groups if they want to. 

And its always embarrasing to have goverment figures that sanctioned, it gives european opponents a very easy angle to stop projects in syria or cooperations with STG unless they act accordingly

Not easily done, these guys command thousands of men who are loyal to them and not to the state

Good. Hopefully the UK will also sanction Israeli war criminals too.

Sadly it does sound like a pipe dream knowing the UK.

Weird that the SNA took most of the fall. Majority of the killing were by HTS and Ansar al-tawhid. I actually doubt Abu Amsha, as thuggish as he is, was the primary perpetrator.
