    No the bedwetters was mine. not coopster.

    Have you anything to add other than abuse? only you seem like a bedwetter.

    I can only surmise from your comments that you think we should have the foreign terrorist here and screw everyones safety.

    Is that the case or are you outraged and just feeling impotent by the news?

    He isn't Polish. They just happened to be working there when he was born.

    The UK Supreme Court have evidently decided that Begum sacrificed her Britsih citizenship when she chose to go and become a citizen of the Islamic State, hence she can't return to challenge any charges against her.

    That is just absolving us of responsibility. I agree that should lose some freedom but slopey shouldering the issue is not a good look. Neither is forcing an unwanted citizenship onto someone, who will not be granted said citizenship.
    the thing is, its the Bangladeshis that are actually making her stateless. She's their problem.
    She is not, and has never been Bangladeshi.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Citizenship Act 1951
    a person born after the commencement of this Act shall be a citizen of Bangladesh by descent if his father or mother is a citizen of Bangladesh at the time of her birth. It goes on to say that dual nationality is not permitted, so someone with another citizenship “ceases to be a citizen of Bangladesh. Over the Age of 21.

    The murdering scum was under 21 at the time she lost her citizenship so there you go. Let her die

    Surprised the nationalists here don’t agree that their justice system is the best and so it would be fitting for her to face British Justice.

    She has faced British Justice. It seems to be working just fine.

    Blah blah I did a gcse in history, Britain imperial, Britain to blame, need to see it from smug corporate admin/recruiter perspective I'm so skinny but weak but happy with my low stem blah blah blah blah




    That’s one of the points. She’s not faced justice, nor been tried.

    Bring her back, try her and then move on with what ever the verdict is.

    A right to a fair trial is a basic human right.

    "3. Citizenship at the date of commencement of this Act. At the commencement of this Act every person shall be deemed to be a citizen of Bangladesh.
    a) Who or any of whose parents or grandparents was born in the territory now included in Bangladesh and who after the fourteenth day of August. 1947, has not been permanently resident in any country outside Bangladesh; or..."

    Her father was given permanent resident status in the UK.

    Wow, what evidence do you have she’s a murderer? Not even the Daily Express has alleged that.

    She was 15 when she went to Syria. Below the age of consent

    What is it about sometimes agreeing with rulings and not with others that you feel is problematic?

    Should we have to agree 100% or not at all?

    Yes. Complicated isn't it? Sometimes people you generally disagree with make a good point. Sometimes people you agree with say stupid stuff. I guess that's the trouble with tying yourself to one particular ideology.

  • Amazing that some people who are so adamant that all racists are pro Brexit let the veil slip so easily.

    Most informed people (ie experts) think this is a bad idea as Bangladesh will never accept her and at some point we will be forced to give in and accept her back as you can not make somebody stateless. Also the Americans will lean on us to follow their lead and deal with our own problem and not dump it on a failing state. This current policy is just playing to the mob and presenting a growing bill to the taxpayer.

    I see religious nutters who take up arms against the UK as never going to change so for me it would be death penalty or life (means life) in prison. However in this case she seems to be a Brit shagging fellas fighting a war in which UK is not involved.

    My take on this is that she's not Bangladesh's problem and morally we should take her back.

    Having said that if a country allows dual citizenship it opens itself up to this kind of thing - personal view is that if you become a UK citizen you should have to give up your previous citizenship and vice versa.

    Not a criticism of those that choose to take advantage of the system as it is.

    She didn't choose British citizenship. She was born and raised here. I agree that dual nationality - which on the face of it is an obvious solution for at least the children of different nationality parents - does create other issues. The more troubling aspect is that the case appears to confirm that there are two classes of British citizenship: one of which can be removed and one which can't. Probably music to the ears of the kind of flag-frotters that believed that the former were never really British.

    The only point I'd argue with is that 'religious nutters' are some sort of special category. I don't think it's fundamentally different from political ideology. Just as people can come to believe in an ideology, they can lose or give up that faith. Whether they choose to is another matter.

    Fair enough. Rather punctures the idea that it's 'just lefties' who think that maybe this isn't great. What are your thoughts on the point about two classes of citizenship rather than the rather inconsequential twenty-something idiot?

    You don't need to have seen anything on it. It's just a logical extension of the judgment. If some citizens can have that citizenship removed at the Home Secretary's discretion and others can't then all citizens are not equal under the law. I'd suggest that's a bigger issue than one supposedly dangerous individual.

    This is not the first time something like this has happened, a British citizen agrees with an ideology from a foreign power that is against Britain, then joins that foreign power. Happened during WW2 and the Cold War.

    But as far as I am aware, this is the first time the person hasn't ether changed their views (as what happened with some people who supported the Nazi Party early on), or full on defected to the enemy power (as what some did during the Cold War).

    On one hand, removing someone's citizenship is very dangerous path to go down. But then we don't seem to have the things in place that help deal with people like this (at least nothing that actually makes a real difference). You would probably need to do something like they did in Ireland where they got the terrorists and victims in the same room so the people doing the killing can see the pain they cause others.
