@Lellojello “Culturally they are Pakistani”
Who told you that?? Where are you getting this from?
IME it would be very unusual for them to be “culturally” Pakistani considering they were born and raised in the UK. It’s not as if they came here as adults a few years ago.
Of course they will share some of their parents culture, but they will also be heavily influenced by the culture of the country they are born and raised in.
A British Pakistani child, is usually not the same culturally as a White British OR a Pakistani child. The same way a Black British child of Nigerian heritage will be different culturally from a Nigerian kid. Or a Polish British child might have different from White British and Polish… and so on.
They will have a mix of cultures and depending on how often they go to Pakistan/their home country - they may well find it a culture shock when visiting.
My Scottish Pakistani friend certainly did when she went there for the first time at age 18. Culturally she is very different from her cousins there and her lifestyle was different too. There is maybe a bit less of a difference in lifestyle if your family over there is extremely rich and can afford certain things, but that’s not the average family.
IMO while yes there are issues with the UK care system and ideally I say it’s best for kids to be with their kin than strangers, in this case their extended family is likely part of the problem.
Their grandad hasn’t came out and condemned his son who killed Sara which shows a bit of his mindset. I don’t think this is an oversight that he hasn’t done this. I believe there’s a reason he’s not spoken out to condemn his son or grieve the horrific death of his granddaughter.
Why on earth would the innocent children have their British citizenship removed ?? There definitely would be an outcry because - as I suspect you full well know - that would be illegal, uncalled for and abhorrent.
Do you have much experience of “third culture” kids /second generation immigrants/anyone from a different culture to you ?
Because this whole take would be considered quite offensive to many. It’s like you don’t view these kids as British at all beyond their passport because they’re not white.
