This article examines how over the past five years Britain's use of deadly weaponized drone strikes has become routine. It contrasts what happened following two strikes in August 2015 which killed British member of IS, Reyaad Khan, with what happened following subsequent attacks. In particular, it examines why the Government's justification for the Khan attackthat his death was the only way to prevent a terrorist atrocity on UK soilis no longer used to justify drone strikes. The paper also
