This is such a concerning president, hopefully the ECHR overturns this. The government shouldn't have the power to make you stateless.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The UK government's position was always that it wasn't making her stateless as she is entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship through her parents. So from their point of view they weren't making her stateless.
Funnily enough the Bangladeshi government at the time turned around and said, fuck that she's British, she's never even been here!.
The UK government were never looking for powers to make people stateless. Although on a technicality they were quite happy to make someone not British. There's a subtle difference, I hope you can see.
Anyway, that was the previous Tory government so it will be interesting to see what Labour's position is on this. The new Labour Home Secretary could simply override the previous decision and allow her back in.
this shit pisses me off so goddamn much man
she was groomed an enticed to basically hand herself over to an abusive group of people, then suffered terrible in a war she had no real part of other than being married to a fighter, lost her children and friends through sickness and said war and the uk judicial system was like "no yeah it was entirely your fault and don't come back even though you were born and grew up here"
she was fucking 16 bro a literal child, if she was white oh my god you'd be rolling out the red carpet
absolutely sickening behavior from the people you expect it to come from.
In their ruling, the justices found it was a matter for the European court to decide whether the process to deprive Ms Begum of British citizenship should have considered whether she was a potential victim of trafficking.
fuck you
I don't think she should lose her citizenship but wtf
She went there herself. At some point people have to own their stupid behavior.
You are right about the white chick syndrome that triggers fake news into frenzy tho
We are still looking for that chick in Aruba or whatever
Is this the only case of revoked citizenship for an IS fighter in Europe/the western world? Are there any others?
