Unfortunately the word if is exactly that

[naomi24]

She isn't a British citizen. She has Bangladeshi citizenship.

Untitled's argument seems to be...leave potential foreign terrorist/killers alone until they have killed.

racists, nazi, far, far right types like me are not happy with that pov.

Dead British citizens but at least you are racist aye, Untitled.

[royfromaus]

Aren't *

That's not what I think roy.... but I'm sure you know that!

Naomi, Begum was a British Citizen when she left. If all terrorists/sympathisers are deported back to their country of origin, the UK wouldn't have been able to remove her citizenship. We'd have ended up with the likes of her or "Jihadi John" back on our shores.

She has Bangladeshi citizenship

Bangladesh says otherwise. She was born in Britain, she was radicalised in Britain, she's not Bangladesh's problem.

[Untitled]

or we can just accept that responding to a global problem like terrorism might sometimes put us in situations where we have to deal with terrorists from other countries and they'll deal with ours where necessary... moving them doesn't necessarily make them less dangerous... (unless as gromit said you can shift them to a warzone where they can die for their cause!)

[naomi24]

gromit/jno, I know her history. No surprise that Bangladesh doesn't want her either. Best she stays where she is.

[Mozz71]

Sounds like a case of "other countries can have their terror suspects back, and keep ours."

[naomi24]

Not at all, Mozz. We've just been fortunate in that she has dual citizenship so we can offload her. I've no complaints about having one fewer terrorist sympathiser here. Have you?

[Mozz71]

Not at all Naomi, but we have to act as we expect others to. If she has duel citizenship, we've as much responsibility to deal with our own no-goodniks as anyone else. As was said previously, she was a UK citizen when she was radicalized, by your argument of "send them back to whence they came", she should come back to the UK.

[naomi24]

No. Hers is an entirely different situation and it’s not one where deportation is a consideration. She’d be delighted to be forcibly removed from her current abode and sent to the UK. Fortunately for us that isn’t going to happen.
