Probably not the best time for her to pop back into the news…
Now that Bangladesh is about to become Iran 2.0 they will welcome her back with open arms.
Good. People can disagree all they want on the rights and wrongs of how she was treated but it was entirely legal and the courts have repeatedly affirmed this.
Kind of obvious labour are going to try and get her back here as they said they would.
The only reasonable and common sense reaction from goverment/system these days. Sun is shining.
Are people on Reddit going to say that the courts are wrong and stripping her of UK citizenship is actually illegal again like they did all the other times she lost her legal cases?
Im always surprised at the level of spite directed at someone who was deliberately groomed and radicalised as a literal minor.
Being made stateless is cruel and unusual punishment, and the collective British psyche has a punitive streak a mile long.
As soon as she is back they will claim a legal precedent has been set and every other ISIS fighter who lost citizenship should come back.
As soon as she and the others are in the country they will be in the Mosques making speeches that stop one tiny little full stop before praising ISIS and constantly on TV claiming everything is Islamophobic.
People like her love the lifestyle in the UK and hate the social and political culture that makes it possible.
Imagine we tried to pull this ‘lol, we took her citizenship, she’s your problem now!’ on a country that wasn’t as fractured and struggling as Syria. Or if another country tried to pull that on us.
Funny. Our forces fought along side ISIS against the Syrian government but she is persona non grata for joining ISIS.
She was born in the UK, raised in the UK and she’s done probably one of the worst things anyone can do and her citizenship was revoked simply because she is eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship through her father, even though she’s never been there before…this is a dangerous precedent to set. This essentially is saying that she and any other first/second/third generation immigrant isn’t “British enough” that if they do something extremely bad they’re at risk of losing their citizenship. Hopefully labour does something about this.
Not surprised by this outcome but even so :
– she was groomed at **15**.
– has lost three children who all died young.
Anyone who thinks she needs to be punished should realise she’s likely been punished enough already without us lifting a finger.
Absolutely right, anyone who supports or has supported those scum deserve to never set foot in the uk
