  1. Annoying Trump and keeping her out of our country, winner

  2. I feel like people don’t understand how serious it is for the Home Office to strip someone of their citizenship even if they do not have citizenship elsewhere. Their argument is that “Begum _can_ have Bangladeshi citizenship and therefore we have grounds to strip her of British citizenship obtained through birth right”, which is bollocks because dual citizenship is literally illegal in Bangladesh. What this actually means that any Brits who are also Irish, Jewish, Armenian, etc. may have their citizenship taken away if the Home Office deem them too serious a threat. The right way to do this is to monitor or jail them, not strip their citizenship away.

  3. Huh I thought we all deeply cared about the grooming of young girls.

  4. What business is it of theirs? Do they suddenly care about the rights of extremists and terrorists? Maybe they should repatriate all the prisoners they have held in Guantanamo Bay if they aren’t going to even charge them after 20 years. Nah, didn’t think so.

  6. It’s weird how child grooming has been the hot topic on everybody’s lips recently, but people completely flip, lose their minds and start frothing at the mouth whenever this case is brought up. Save our girls, unless she’s brown, I guess? 

    I still maintain that if Begum had been a 15 year old white girl named Daisy Harper-Scott from Kensington who had been groomed from age 15 and trafficked out of the country by terrorists, whilst our government knew it was happening and watched, we’d be having a very different national discussion. There’s even a guy in the comments saying she needs to be executed by firing squad. 

  7. Excellent. She’s not a citizen and was a member of isis. Cheerio.

    Although we shoukd be making use of this rule alot more imo.

  8. Why would Gorka want us to take back these terrorists. What is the reasoning behind this ?
    Will he be welcoming radicalised US terrorists back to the States ?

  9. Can this just be put to bed once and for all please? Every year she asks to be let in, every year the government says no, every year the press reports on it.

    It’s a non-story. Let us know when the answer changes.

  10. If someone like Lammy is certain she shouldn’t be let back into the country, then whatever the intelligence services are not sharing about her activities must be absolutely damming

  12. This could be a good look for Labour after a few months of really bad optics. Standing up to Trump and keeping Begum out the country.

  13. A lot of people forget ISIS is gone, she’s held in a camp defended by a militia that doesn’t have the resources to really run it and is constantly being hit by NATO airstrikes.

    Either the British and other European countries actually take back their citizens or they’ll get out, be re armed by NATO and go back to killing.

  14. The word ‘ally’ really sticks in the back of the throat what with the way the US has been behaving this past little while. Are we so sure that they are still allies?

  15. The crazy thing is that Gorka is a British and Hungarian citizen whose mother worked for David Irving. He is also bat guano nuts.

  16. “British criminal booted out of country instead of to jail.”

    Javid’s legacy lives on.

  17. Keeping her out teaches other teenagers that joining terror organisations abroad has severe consequences. I do have sympathy for her as she was a teenager when she was recruited, but I’d rather save today’s 15 year olds.

  18. lol the funny thing is that America has taken back its terrorists, it’s only the UK who gets to export terrorists to other countries and then force that country to take on the risk and cost of the terrorist we exported

  19. Personally, I think she should be allowed back, but arrested on arrival, and charged with terrorism then just dumped in a prison for the rest of her life.

    I have no sympathy for her. She has continued to show a lack of remorse.

  20. Hate to say it but trump is right on this matter. It’s a slippery slope that the government could strip people from their citizenship.

    In no ways I’m saying what Shamima has done was right and that I have any sympathy for her, but she is as British as anyone else and should be locked up in prisons in the UK. 

  21. I bet if she was American they wouldn’t think twice about leaving her out there! Why do they feel the need to get involved? They have way more problems than we do!

  22. Now that there is a new government in Syria we should support them in prosecuting the crimes of ISIS and those who went there to support their crimes

    We should offer funding for the legal process and subsequent costs such as imprisonment in proportion to the number of those who went from the UK.

    It is a basic principle of justice that it should be carried out where the crimes took place wherever possible – with a new government in Syria it should be possible. What we should not do is allow those criminals to flee Syria to countries where prosecution of their crimes will be difficult to impossible due to lack of witnesses, evidence etc.

    Oh and within wide boundaries we should just let Syrian law do its own thing. They are primarily the ones that suffered from the actions of these people (same applies to Iraq which is the other country to have suffered)

    Once they have been properly prosecuted and punished for their crimes by the country or countries where the crimes took place then I think we can discuss matters of repatriation/deportation. But I am extremely resistant to her desire to be able to leave Syria before being properly tried there – it has always looked like a transparent attempt to evade justice

  23. I can’t wait until the news stop posting this nonsense quarterly. I’m pretty bored about seeing her mug on my feed all the time trying to wind people up. Just forget about her already

  24. It’s interesting that Reform thinks someone who made a mistake as a teenager (hello, Reform MP James McMurdock ) should be allowed to rebuild their career because they were a foolish teenager who has since matured, but Shamima Begum, who was essentially groomed online, isn’t allowed the chance to learn from her mistakes. especially when she was 15

  25. The UK does not operate it’s terrorist security at the behest of the US, particularly a non-entity such as Gorka. I suspect the Trump clown administration is in for a shock when it has dealings with proper international politicians.
