Bethnal Green Girl

How many are screaming at the screen right now? She made her bed let her lie in it. Why should she be allowed back here?

[hc4361]

I really don't know the answer. Some army veterans, who joined up as adults as a career choice with (supposedly) full support, have trouble adjusting to civvie street. I can't imagine how much a few years with ISIS has warped this young woman's mind, never mind the additional loss of her two babies.

On the other hand, she will have lots of intelligence that our services would find very useful and she would surely be subjected to a lot of interrogation if she returned. An expert said the process would last two years and be intensive.

hc4361, intelligence mmm, not much bar praying five times a day and hoping the west falls, and all non muslims are killed.

The government will be keeping a close eye for public reaction to any attempted repatriation.

[JF85]

Too right, Jackdaw. That's what worries me. I might have reasons to dislike Churchill and Thatcher but I would never question their belief in what they believed to be right, whatever the rest of the world thought.

Even I miss the days when politicians said what they believed, rather than playing to the gallery in pursuit of this week's target demographic.

I think it's highly unlikely she knows any useful information.

I just heard President Trump has said we should take back 800 alleged 'enemy combatants' from Syria. Given his success in closing Guantanamo Bay detention centre and persuading Mexico to build a border wall, I am now in a quandary. Everything he has ever said has clearly demonstrated his dedication to the UK's best interests, maybe I need to change my view on honouring international treaties?

[naomi24]

^That gives a false impression. He said they should be brought back and put on trial.

[LadyCG]

She's an enemy of the state and should rot in her present location.

As I understand it we are legally obliged to take her back ; given that she is a British citizen

We protest when we try to deport those we do not wish to keep here , and the ' receiving' country refuses to take them )

If and when she returns here then of course , we can lay charges against and haul her before the courts

[JF85]

naomi24: Apologies, I did not intend to give a false impression. I included a reference to Guantanamo to acknowledge President Trump's enduring commitment to detention without trial.

To be clear, I believe the UK has ratified treaties that prevent us making people stateless, and that refusing to accept her return would make it difficult for us to repatriate overseas citizens who break the law here.

I have previously stated my full support for an investigation by police and the security services to determine whether she should be charged with any offence under UK law. I not only believe that her unborn child should be removed at birth, I would offer my time and experience to help make it happen.

I fully accept that I did not report his statement in full, but nor did I criticise him for interfering in UK government policy. I have always read any links provided by other commenters on this forum before I offer my thoughts, even where it appears that the poster has not done so themselves. I hope we all do the same. Like you, I have no wish to see ill-informed prejudices being spread. As soon as somebody points out the falsehood in my comment, I will ensure it is removed.

If there's a bandwagon to jump on, Trump is first in line.
