I put it to you that it is not just my argument, but the belief of the majority of the UK citizens, it defies all logic to pander to some-one who would sooner have you dead than look at you. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You pose as a humanitarian but the view of "tolerance" which you push ends up with white people afraid to walk outside and afraid to speak in their own countries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, the UK should take the opportunity of ejecting or excluding people where it arises. For example, if they have a second citizenship then strip them of British citizenship and send them to their other country of citizenship. In the case of this woman, deny her entry into the UK. Israel has a deal with an African country to house migrants that Israel does not want. The UK can make such a deal. Lets face it, cconomic migrants would look elsewhere. The UK could make a deal with an African country to operate a prison colony, settling any prisoners there after they complete their sentence. If foreign criminals knew they would end up exiled in Africa they would target another country. We should also look at repatriation for communities that are a problem for the UK. The alternative is leaving them to ruin our way of live and eventually overwhelm us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"she is not a British Citizen at present" Not correct, she is a British citizen. "so the initial decision stands until it is overturned hence making her not British at present" No. Until her appeal gets rejected or the decision she has a right to appeal gets overturned she is a British citizen. So a convicted murderer is innocent and allowed to roam free until all his appeals are overturned?...same same...she is not a citizen anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh? Apples and oranges. If you want to understand the case at hand you really have to get this 'she is not a citizen anymore' out of your head. It is simply not correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not deporting anyone, she is in Syria where she chose to travel. ISIS were defeated, now she wants to return to the UK.

However the removal of citizenship has been deemed to have been done not according to the law since she could not appeal that decision. So now she can appeal. If upheld she will be stripped of citizenship. And remain in the UK with many more years of costly court battles at the UK tax payer expense, probably lots of benefits too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her husband, a father of the 3 children she conceived and didn't look after is a Dutch citizen. Why doesn't she go with him? That isn't necessarily the reason by Bangladesh "excluded" her. Bangladesh invaded and settled the Chittagong Hill tracts, forcing the native people to flee to the woods. The capital of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Ranghamati is now 99% Bengali. Millions of Bengalis moved into Myanmar (Burma) since the 1940s (mostly since the 1970s). Since that time they formed a movement to take over Arakan state. Myanmar pushed most of these settlers back over the border in the 1980s and more recently. You don't want a hostile foreign people settling your country and taking over. There are millions of other Bengali settlers in the UK, the rest of Europe, and all over the world. They are spreading their people far and wide. Bangladesh may not want to set a precedent of taking back their settlers who are ejected by host countries. Bangladesh could easily have given her an apartment and a team of people to keep her happy and not blowing things up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the actions of the British Government in stripping her of her British citizenship. That is correct. I believe the appeal judges agreed that she was denied a fair trial by not being allowed to travel into the UK and be able to personally present her defense. So it is the process they deem unfair. However, as many trials now include appearances and presentations by video links, especially with the dangers of the current pandemic, she could appear on video. This will go to the Supreme Court first who will rule on the appeals court judgement. If she is allowed to retain her British citizenship and return to the UK she should, on doing so, be immediately arrested and charged with appropriate terrorist offensives. A court would then decide if she's guilty or not and sentence accodingly. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With citizenship there comes certain responsibilties, one of those responsibilities is not to do harm to your fellow citizens, the Home Secretary has a responsiblity to protect the countries citizens and has the power to revoke someones citizenship should they be a threat to us all. Out of interest how can the UK be responsible for her wanting to kill us all, I suggest her indocrination came from other sources rather than the local school corriculum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, she is just following the Koran. We can't afford to tolerate a religion which won't tolerate our freedom. It is apparent that she isn't "as British as the rest of us." I'm not agreeing to see the country destroyed for the sake of some mental ludo. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her behavior suggests she believes she belongs to a different culture altogether. That should be respected. It was her choice. Now, that the sh$$ts hit the fan, she wants to turn the clock back and pretend it all never happened. And expects Britain to pick up the tab and look after her. The world has changed. It's far from an ideal place and getting less so, sadly. So idealist ideas aren't so much a solution to the current issues. More pragmatic approaches are needed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that difficult a concept to grasp. You have a passport. That passport denotes your citizenship. All the countries of the world have reached an understanding that, ultimately, each country takes ultimate responsibility for their citizens. No matter how long you spend in Thailand, unless you have Thai citizenship, the country for which you hold citizenship assumes responsibility for you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
