Sorry, but this is totally misconstruing the argument.

People don't want her back to give her a pat on the back, and a cup of tea.

They want her back to be tried in a British court of law, and a sentence passed under British law.

What the government has done so far is just totally abdicate on that, render her stateless which in reality means another country will have to deal with her.
No, what you've done there is just misconstrue my question.

The legal arguments are one issue and nobody here can properly unpick them.

The moral arguments revolving in this thread seem to be whether a 15 year old can be fully responsible for their actions, whether the government is responsible for someone being radicalised, and whether the individual rights of one person should trump the responsibilities of a government to keep its people safe.

Brilliant news, hopefully she is left to rot.

The Only people that want her back are your typical do Gooders, there’s loads of Muslims where I work and all of them fully support this decision So it seems Muslims don’t even want her back.

4. Identification requirements
All children under the age of eighteen are not required to provide identification to purchase a ticket, to get a boarding pass or to get past the security.

However, the adults who are responsible for the child must have the required identification. Most airlines require the government-issued photo ID. The person is also needed to fill the unaccompanied form and all the immigration documents at the airport. The following information is, however, necessary when making any reservation;

  • The child's full names
  • The child's address
  • The relationship with the child
  • Child's date of birth
  • Information about the parents or guardians dropping off or picking up the child
  • Alternative contact for a person in the destination


My point is that a 15 year old should not be able to book a ticket and leave the country without their parent or guardian’s knowledge.
Didn't she use her older sisters passport though?

So how would you solve that? A checkbox for them to tick saying "Parents said yes", or do you want the airline calling their parents? Or should they notify the government and the government notify the parents?

I don't necessarily disagree with you, however I have very little sympathy for people that have aided a terror regime create one of the worst humanitarian crises we've had in recent history.

What do you mean by your last sentence?
I've no sympathy for the girl, i merely get annoyed with this Home Office in the UK shirking their responsibilities.

What I meant was that if this becomes common practice around the world we should all start worrying about our Citizenship Status if our own governments just can't be arsed.

I mean he also thinks Andrew Neil is a liberal, so.
He's a classic liberal, which has another meaning than what liberal means in UK and US these days. Here in Denmark a liberal is a liberalist.

I'm only replying to your statements, none of my questions have been unreasonable.

I'm sorry you lost a friend. However I don't think I've seen anyone advocate let alone myself that Begum ne brought back and thrown a parade. Far from it, those I've seen questioning this courts decision have stated that she should face the charges and submit to justice. Got Sweet FA to do with how comfortable her bed was which I contend hasn't been a 16 mattress jobby, still got feck all to do with Britain facing up to its responsibilities and not trying to foist them on another country who conveniently just could be something to do with her ancestry.
The UK believe they have used the law to remove her citizenship. The law is there to be applied or there would be no point in having it.

What about the HO responsibility to the rest of its citizens? Allowing her back in could endanger lives, it's an argument that carries weight.

Yeah, chuck in some generalising, some hyperbole and you've got yourself a bigoted post, congrats.

I mean it's a very small sample size though isn't it? People leaving their home country to go fight for IS. I'd be worried if I was thinking about joining them.

Didn't IS claim to be a country at one point? Wouldn't false flag laws come into play then?

Absolutely, no point in having it if it doesn't suit you in carrying out your responsibilities. Still, missed out the rest of the post....

Don't bother explaining it, as soon as people see the word liberal they fixate on it in accordance to what formulated in their own minds

Oh, you think this could just apply to ISIS and their acolytes?

No, I just found it pointless!
I was talking about the second part of yours...

Obviously you are one of those people who don't put much store in responsibility.

She got radicalized and left to join ISIS. Whether she flew out there or was smuggled in the back of a truck is not the state's fault. Nor is it her parents fault.
She was the feckin eejit and it seems she still is.

But you is acting like it bro.
Haha, okay mate. Nothing more to add to the debate? Do you honestly think the UK stripping a terrorist that has acted against the UK will set a presendent for countries to strip people of their citizenship willy nilly?

Right, so she was failed by the system.

Do you want me to pull a solution to a complex problem out my arse? The point is that there needs to be better system in place to avoid this happening.

Did you take the same attitude with the children groomed in Rotherham? Or is it because she’s got dark skin that you think she is naturally predisposed to these thoughts and therefore her own fault that she was taken in by these people? She was 14 for feck sake.

Incorrect.

I'm responsible for three children and two hundred employees.

I know all about it!

I suspect you are narrow minded and unable to listen to views that don't align with your own.

Really? So if I defraud the bank, its their fault for having a failed system? I'm therefore innocent?
Or if you went to the other side of the world and helped kill a bunch of people, but the airline didn't catch you commiting identity fraud and as such you're innocent

Oh give it a rest, go and have a cry about it again.

In the context of Britain not passing their responsibilities onto a completely unrelated country and not how many people you 'ave working for you, you would rather advocate that it is not the host country of its citizen when she left the country and offended against their laws you have no clue.

The banks shareholders will certainly hold the bank responsible. If the bank then decided that it was easier to just expel the person who committed fraud rather than deal with them which left it down to another bank to pick up responsibility then the other banks would rightfully be annoyed.

But I would still be responsible in the eyes of the law, correct? I would have to take some responsibility.

She knew right from wrong.
Kindergarten kids know right from wrong.
She made shitty choices and now she has to live with the consequences.
The ones I feel bad for are the victims of ISIS and her family. It's got nothing to do with skin colour.

So who’s responsibility is she? Who has to deal with the fallout of her actions?

But if she's eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship she's not stateless?
But she doesn't have Bangladeshi citizenship as she neither applied and has been granted one and is likely to be granted one by Bangladesh. So if we strip her of citizenship she is stateless.
