The way the Home Office and others are talking it doesn't look as though we have a choice.

[Bazile]

If they are legally bound to do so

[david small]

No, grow a pair.

[bookbinder]

What, and welcome back all those already-trained terrorists to cause mayhem here? Certainly not.

[dannyk13]

Dave, it is not a matter of growing a pair.It is a matter of abiding by an international treaty that we signed, that no person would be made stateless.

[TonyV]

Absolutely a good way of conservatives losing next election if we do?

[david small]

Danny, then we should tear up The treaty as its threatens national security.

[JF85]

Reneging on agreements would threaten national security. We have been NATO members for decades. How would we feel if Russia attacked us and other members told us it was our problem, they had their own to deal with?

[cleodog]

By leaving the country to fight for someone else against us she has committed treason which is or was punishable by death. Why should we have her back!

[dannyk13]

A bit dated, but still valid:-
//Home Secretary Theresa May has said that the UK will not remove citizenship from IS fighters born in the UK as "it is illegal for any country to make its citizens stateless". .

[david small]

Reneging is too harsh a term for amending agreements made when the world was a very different place. Now new dangers face us from within. We should keep out known terrorist sympathisers.

[Bazile]

Well , if the Donald says so ...

[cassa333]

I think we should let Siria prosecute her and the others like her. They must have evidence of what they did.

Did this woman fight out there? Did she encourage people to fight? Did she indoctrinate her children to be radicalised?

What, other than going there to marry a fighter and have children, did she do that is prosecutable?

I am all for letting her rot out there but her children had no choice and should be repatriated and put into a loving, nurturing non radicalised family home.

[dannyk13]

Cassa, she only has one child, a newborn boy.

[Baldric]

Cassa, I've not gone into it in detail but I believe the only child she has is as yet unborn, the others died.

[dannyk13]

Balders, she has given birth to a son in the Syrian refugee camp/

[fender62]

better to have trials where they are, and use the laws they have already, i imagine it would be death sentences for fighters, for women
i have no idea, maybe that why they want the west to collect them.

[Hopkirk]

Couldn't we build our own little Guantanamo Bay type holding compound and lock 'em up?

[andres]

What about all those who have already returned? We haven't a clue as to their whereabouts.
Does the Dutch husband of this girl not have a say as to what happens to his child. That is ,if they ever find him.

[ToraToraTora]

as much as I don't want to take them back but Trump has a point, we want them out of circulation. We should take our own and sling them straight in jail and throw away the key.
