Yes Lily, our freedom.

She still hasn't offered any apology for the millions of Iraqi's and Syrians who were killed by IS. Charming woman---not.

Yes-----I can just see her on the front of a magazine posing as the ISIS poster girl that she admits to being in their own recruitment magazine------how proud she must feel !!

" our freedom" ???

EV, our AC is in the armed forces and has been for 28 years, he would rather these terrorists/Jihadis/Daesh sympathisers come back to a UK facility.

They could be interviewed at length, which could be helpful (assuming they tell the truth) to security services.

I wouldn't fly tip my rubbish and the more I think about this problem the UK is "fly-tipping" human beings and no matter what they have done or seen surely that is not an action of a civilised society.

It's an insult to my GS who went to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight for our freedom.

Yes, Nicenanny, isn't it always the same ?

Jalima I couldn't give a tinkers cuss what happens to or about stateless citizens. It's not against the law in this country to strip a person of citizenship who has no other nationality. Theresa May made this last minute addition when she was Home Secretary which is what has been acted upon.

Letting SB back would just show what a soft touch Britain is. Always the same with some people wanting to help the perpetrators and forgetting the innocent victims of crime.

There are, of course, but leaving a person stateless is not lawful.
If they are citizen of another country it is lawful and also if they are eligible to apply for citizenship of another country it is also possible to do so.

EllenVannin* you have no idea what my background is or what I have experienced in life. I can well understand that your family were traumatised by the Manchester Arena bombing, people were also traumatised by the IRA bombings and other terrorist acts all round the world.

The best way to deal with these horrors is to find a way through them to solutions like the Peace and Justice tribunals in South Africa and the Good Friday Agreement in Ireland, neither of them perfect but both of them going a long way to finding peaceable solutions to violent conflicts. This is what we need to do here.

What is needed is an orchestrated international response to this refugee crisis. Many of those out in the desert come from countries in the immediate area; Syria, Iran, Iraq. Their return could be linked to aid and education. Those remaining can and should be returned to their countries of origin for processing under their penal codes.

One should never underestimate the effect of one grand gesture and getting SB back and fairly treated could do far more peace and justice than 20 mobs baying for vengeance.

Citizenship

Are /Arnt there grounds /reasons/situations for stripping a person of their nationality ?

I don't feel pity - but we can't just leave a British citizen without dual nationality stateless, it is against international law.

Unforgiveable. The same as what your feelings would be if it happened to you. Pity for people like SB makes me heartily sick.

While the world ( or at least the UK ) obsesses about SB, the refugee crisis and the forgotten victims grow in number.

Monica, my family were traumatised after seeing what they saw in the foyer of the Manchester arena !!

Notanan, I assume that those 400 are all British born, hence why they remain in this country-----under surveillance, tagged or in prison.
When you have 4,500 terrorist-related arrests since 9/11 I think it's justifiable that anyone whose intent it is to betray this country like the SB's of this world don't deserve the privilege of belonging anywhere.

My family are more valuable than her ! They saw the aftermath of what SB cheered about.

I can only repeat that I would rather have them back here, living next to me and under the eye of British security than heaven knows where ramping up their terrorism and being more and more cut off from wider society.

I consider SB to be deeply traumatised and mentally ill. I think.with proper medical treatment she could and will be deradicalised and, even after serving a prison sentence, will have ample opportunity to become a useful memeber of our wider society.

As I keep saying, it is not a question of what we want, but what is in our best interest. I think an act of compassion now, allowing her back but insisting she faces criminal prosecution, will do more for both our society and deradicalisation than anything else.

I'm waiting to see what happens after her appeal, hoping that the word " impunity " doesn't arise !

It’s a tough one indeed , but as I said a while back I’ll bet my last £1 she’ll be writing a book about her experiences and sitting on the Good Morning sofa before we know it.

Ellan did I missunderstand you?

I thought you were all for deporting foreign terrorists? Is that not right?

SB is a foreign terririst to Syria. She was British!

She wasnt being "added" she was already British!

But we don't want to add to the other 400 that are housed in this dumb country ! Unless she can live next door to you !

She wasnt born and raised in Syria. She wasnt their citizen. She is British terrorist who went abroad to contribute to horrors and misery and they should be able to send her back!
