Wife of ISIS fighter wants to return to the UK

Pross

Politically it's an understandable approach and finding she was entitled to citizenship elsewhere was the final hurdle in following the legal requirements though you would assume Bangladesh would have some laws to deny citizenship on similar grounds to we have for revoking British citizenship. I suspect she'll eventually end up back here but the Government have positioned themselves so they can say 'we tried to prevent it but the Courts over-rules us, what can we do?'. Alternatively by time it is all resolved we'll have a new Government and they'll be seen to have let her back.

Her school, the local authority and the Met all knew that she was being groomed by IS, but didn't tell her parents until it was too late. She was 'married' off within days of arriving in Syria to someone twice her age.

This is our f*** up. A failure to protect a citizen.

There's a difference between being entitled to claim citizenship and actually having that citizenship. If security is the main concern, I don't see how that is possibly served by denial of UK citizenship. IS didn't actually travel to the UK to recruit her in the first place.

Javid is chancing it.

Also sets a precedent for some other country to dump their unwanted citizens on us.

It’s also a stupid way to deal with the problem. All you do is push the problem onto someone else. She’s a Brit, Brit government needs to deal with it.

Just pathetic on everyone’s part here. She’s obviously a sh!t and apparently Sajid is chickensh!t.

Also, if everyone was a bit more grown up about the whole thing she wouldn’t have garnered the publicity she doesn’t deserve to have.

I guess this is the kind of Britain-leading-the-world-by-example we should get used to post-Brexit. Push terrorists onto other nations. Look like a bunch of pussies.

The UK Govs first responsibility to its citizens is their security. I would imagine that their are further security reasons given on the advice of the intelligence services that have caused the Home Office to revoke her citizenship.

Mate have a good think about the first line of what you wrote.

Do you really believe what you write? Still, as long as you "imagine" that there are good reasons then that's OK then. In all fairness, your imagination seems to be pretty similar to that of Javid in terms of making crap up to support your prejudices though quite how you fail to understand that the only reason that Javid is revoking her citizenship is to achieve cheap political gain is beyond me.

Personally I think he missed a trick. Bring her back and start shouting "Lock her up, lock her up". Worked for Trump.

PS - what Rick said.

Also, it works both ways.

The U.K. gets to deport citizens of other nations if they commit crimes in the Uk and those nations receive them.

Once you start down this road....

PhilipPirrip

Further, we could start deporting citizens because a government of prejudice simply wants to get rid of people they don't like under arbitrary rules such as the guise of a threat to the nation.

Have an anti-semitic government, let's start deporting jewish citizens. A nationalist government, Let's start deporting the Irish. A racist government, let's start deporting black citizens.

Oh hold on, that last one is current policy.

I think you’re spectacularly confused. Isis and the kkk are entirely different, different crimes, different objectives, different locations different ideologies.

There comes a point where some crimes need special treatment and the courage to see and move beyond the standard liberal response. Precisely to protect the liberal environment. Unpalatable but true.

Now if the Home Secretary chucks out her parents too that would be a start.

... it all starts getting very silly. Is he going to take this approach for all crimes? "Have you Jewish ancestry that was persecuted by Germany during the war? Then we can revoke your citizenship and you can apply for German nationality".

Shame we can't still put people on prison ships to Australia for stealing loaves.......

Well yes. Obviously being a brainwashed foolish child and running away and having babies is a lot more serious than lynching people and shooting up churches. We really need to get our priorities sorted out.

Perhaps what we actually need is the courage to see and move beyond our knee jerk prejudices.

Interesting to read this story with very strong parallels to the UK case:

2 American wives of Islamic State militants want to return home 20 Feb 2019

A small number of Americans — as few as 59, according to data tracked by the George Washington University Program on Extremism — are known to have traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State. Nearly all the American men captured in battle have been repatriated, but it is unclear why some of the American women and their children — at least 13 known to The Times — have not been.

In a tweet this weekend, President Donald Trump criticized allies including Britain, France and Germany for not taking back hundreds of Islamic State prisoners captured on the battlefield. “The alternative is not a good one in that we will be forced to release them,” he warned.

I'm certain that this UK case suits the government very well and they will keep the pot simmering as long as they can.

I now see the irony in my post. However I hope that in this instance it is intelligence lead and not political.
Mind you Dr David Kelly's family might have something to say about our security services and politics.

Dunno if its been said already but she does have an appeal to the spec immigration court. The case is ALWAYS made under Human Rights - the right to a family life. This applies to children and parents and children and parents in law. She will win the appeal. I'm sure of it

There is no difference. Both organisations are fascist, authoritarian monotheistic regimes who pursue their objectives through violence. Leaving aside their bullshit religions, their ideologies are fundamentally the same.

The Home Secretary revoked the citizenship of a British citizen because the UK couldn't bring her back to face charges as they couldn't determine whether or not she had done anything illegal.

Or the Home Secretary used that as a viable excuse in his political long game ambitions for the next GE. The general public will remember him for standing firm and expelling an undesirable.

Of course there would be no left of centre voters who would agree with the objectives of the Home Secretary in this case. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Never said there weren't. Doesn't alter the fact that the vast majority of the calls to keep her out have come from the right, or the extreme right.

It does mean Sajid sees British citizens with entitlement to a non British nationality as second class citizens as they may have their British citizenship revoked.

Not sure if you're being serious, but if you are, then go for it mate. I made it quite clear that I edited it. Report it now though - if you wait until 6pm, nothing will happen until tomorrow.
