Shamima Begum wins right to return to UK

She was 15 when she left. How mature were you at 15?
Stripped of citizenship because of security risk. Told to burger off to Bangladesh where she had never been
I agree it's a test case and it will set the bar as to what type of country we want to be.

Unfortunately that issue was settled for the next 5 years last December.
 
We should let her back in the country to face trial.

I am sure ISIS will send over a defence council to back up her claims of being a courier driver for McDs.

I have no idea why she wants to come back to such a corrupt country
 
If she wins and gets compensation it means someone made decisions against her which were outside the law.
Who pays? Well, no one really. We are borrowing all the money we need to spend at the moment :)
Maybe, though, someone ought to be made accountable. There’s a thought

Well you can file that with all the other Tory decisions that have literally burned our tax payers money, or moved it from government coffers to some rich folk.

The idea of making someone a citizen of nowhere does not sit comfortable with me, neither does throwing someone out of the country as a punishment meted out by politicians and civil servants rather than you know, going through the judicial system. You either believe in the rule of law and the judicial system and innocent until proven guilty or you believe in governments right to label anyone as guilty and take whatever action they choose, that is a very dark path to tread.
 
I know I am probably in the minority here, but if she is to be allowed back in, she should be held in a detention centre until her case is determined. If she wins her case, then she should be charged immediately with her crimes. This poor lass that many feel sorry for clearly made a cold calculated decision to become involved in terrorism. Her age does not mitigate her actions. She will cost this country millions, moving forward if she wins. More Jihadis will end up returning if she is allowed to remain. If 1 life is lost as a result of her or others directly or indirectly returning to the UK will this prove to be ‘acceptable justice’?

If she wins her case, it sends the message out that it is ok to go anywhere in the world and commit terror as you will always be welcomed back to the UK with our soft penal codes, maybe serve a bit of time in prison, then maybe be supported on benefits, maybe even given a tax payer funded home, its the least she deserves after all she has been through I guess, bless.

Eventually some poor souls will have to have her living next door to them with all the press attention and personal fear that that will bring. I sleep much easier knowing that we have a country that has boundaries to its freedoms and does not shelter terrorists. I really do not see why one penny of any of my taxes should be used to support such a wicked person. This is not just about the rights and freedoms of a young woman, it is about national security, the safety of the population and how safe the state can keep its people, this should carry a greater weighting. If she loses, and I sincerely hope she does, it will act as a deterrent to others, if she wins, I fear we will see more follow her pathway in future. That is not a country I want to live in.

Benefits.
 
Coluka, you and I argued the pro's and con's on another thread so I won't go into them here. What I will say is if she wins her case then that is right and proper under our legal system. I take your other points, obviously and no one would be happy with her returning to the country, but that doesn't mean you get to bypass the legal system
