To feel sorry for Shamima Begum?

[EWAS]

I do, I’m afraid. I think she should be able to come home. She was 15! Have any men been stripped of their citizenship that we know about?

The law and government are not impartial. You only have to look at Suella to see the rot that infests this government and justice system.

I believe in rehabilitation, especially as she was a child. Besides, she is a british citizen and it's not sure Bangladesh will have her so where is she supposed to spend the rest of her life?

She can stay where she is

I feel sorry for the victims of the Manchester Arena bomb which she said were justified!😡

And your relatives in NI who became terrorists @HollyKnight - have any of them been deprived of their citizenship subsequently?

Don’t feel sorry for her,no
i do acknowledge she was a vulnerable person,groomed & radicalised. She is UK citizen she’s one of us. She’s our problem. If she returns to UK she should be incarcerated and not able to access or groom other VP. ms Begum should undergo psychiatric assessment and a deradicalisation programme in prison . She has the potential to be a dangerous influence upon others

Totally irrelevant.

@phishy / you get some actual proof of British Israeli nationals doing so and you will have a point. But it is not unlawful for a British citizen to fight for another country unless there is a state of war between Britain and that country. Then that person is a traitor

She said that?

All these sympathisers would be happy to have her live next door to them then?

But Bangladesh denied her nationality.

So you're talking out of your arse.

Why would she go to prison? All her supporters constantly say 'there's no EVIDENCE she ever did anything wrong, so how could she be put in prison'?
Odd how they say all this evidence for how she's a victim but nothing else!

She knowingly joined a terrorist group and expressed no remorse for the victims of the brutal executions she witnessed.

Our justice system would probably take years, not find enough evidence, she'd be back on the streets

Absolutely. How could we prove to the courts what happened in another country

ms begin is not a dual national. She’s a uk citizen

“I can sympathise with being so young, and being caught up in something which turned out to have terrible consequences. I naturally feel compassion for the loss of her children, and I can empathise with the desperation she must feel at never being allowed back to the UK.

None of this means that what she did was okay. But I don't think that washing our hands of her was the right thing to do, and there is a risk of her becoming a martyr-figure, which might have consequences for other young people. If she is such a danger, perhaps bringing her back to the UK, where she can be questioned, tried and possibly imprisoned, seems like a more sensible but less showy option. This seems more like a politician wanting to make a dramatic gesture than a well-thought-out course of action, based on the best probably outcome.”

This and similar. I despair of the performative, knee-jerk BS that seems to pass for government thinking nowadays. No sophistication in thinking at all. She’s more of a danger to us cast out and alienated than brought here, questioned and imprisoned. And she was groomed here so I feel it’s our responsibility to sort it out.

I feel sorry for her too..... Ok I'm alright now, what's for tea? 😊

Nah. Good bit of news for once.

It's easy to spot the terrorist : he's the one with the biggest bomb. Brendan Behan.

Having said that Begum was a terrorist too.

@phishy - you've just had three court of appeal judges disagree with you so sorry to hear your views on me are so compelling

I am also brown and so are most of my relatives. I would not take away her citizenship but there is understandable concern here which is not related to her skin colour.

@EWAS absolute IMO, no way, she deserved everything she got. The things she said even after she decided going over there was a mistake, are worrying. She doesn’t deserve citizenship it’s too much of a risk. Absolutely nothing to do with her being female either

Nope. Not an iota of pity for her and her ilk.

@Abhannmor - don't be ridiculous. Your moral view on Israel is not the same as who is a terrorist legally. What bit of law should be upheld or is it just the bits that posters personally like and supports their worldview?

@Alittlecappuccino exactly. She’s not safe to have here

You mean other children who are groomed?
