Should This Woman Now Have Her British Citizenship Taken From Her?

Or would some welcome her with open arms if she were to flee to Britain seeking political asylum?

[Bazile]

I suspect she , like many women in her situation dont have any free will .
They are told what to think and how to act by their spouse - or else .

What do you think would happen if she spoke out against her husband's policies ?

She's English.

I think we should wait until she next visits Harrods, which she does on a regular basis, and then attempt to perform a citizens arrest. The charge ? ...giving succour and help to a sadistic, bloodthirsty dictator.

AOG, //Should we have also welcomed Eva Braun, if she had chose to come to Britain in 1945? //

That's daft. Eva Braun wasn't British - this woman is - and unless she's changed nationality, she wouldn't need to seek political asylum. She'd be returning to her home country.

sp if you are referring to Mrs Assad, both parents are Syrian, wouldn't that make her Syrian? Strange thing nationality.

[emmie]

unlikely she would come without the husband anyway, unless she thinks it would be safer, who knows.

[naomi24]

She was born here - she's British.

[emmie]

sp said she is English. Any way it doesn't matter, no one is liable to take her citizenship away, unless she renounces it herself. If she were to come to Britain for asylum how would the government view that, in the light of her husbands atrocities.

[naomi24]

As I said, she wouldn't need to seek asylum. She could just come back.

[emmie]

she could, but not likely, not without her family.

[emmie]

we should be more worried about the maelstrom that is the ME, as one chap put it, if USA starts bombing Syria, then it could be the biggest threat to world peace since 1939.

[youngmafbog]

I'm not sure I agree AOG.

1) I still dont have proof, apart from a few politicians, that it was Asad with the chemical weapons (and we have seen that before have we not?)

2) This war is baddie vs baddie. The rebels are no better than Asad, in fact I suspect that if some got in there would be much ethnic cleansing as underlying all this is religion again.

[emmie]

which is exactly what this chap said on the news report, that it will become a sectarian war, and genocide will follow.

[naomi24]

The Middle East and associated areas will never know peace. It's a futile cause.

[emmie]

it may well be, however unless we want to send our children and perhaps their children into war, someone must do something, i don't fancy having WW3, nor i suspect does anyone, but it's a very volatile situation and should be treated as such. The news reporter just said that it is turning into one of the great humanitarian tragedies of this century, and after hearing that there are over 2 million displaced peoples in Syria, it could well turn it that. I don't know what the answer, sanctions perhaps, bombing is not a good option, not from anyone's point of view

Not at all funny Andy, I am sure Conservative Office would have something to say to you, if you were not hiding behind anonymity.

But just in passing isn't it Mrs Cameron who has a wide influence on our PM?

I agree with you, regardless of the fact that you disagree with me.

But it is not just a few politicians who have placed all the blame squarely on the shoulders of Asad, it is most of them along with France, the US, and most of the media.

I was just asking the question seeing that he has already been condemned as the boggy man behind all this.
