ckn Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Let's start with the moderating note that if this turns into an anti-immigration or anti-Muslim thing then I'll probably just lock it and then consider what to do with the poster. I'd hope people would have got that by now and don't try, there are other forums out there where you can waft your little-Englander willies if you want. Let's see if we can do this civilly and rationally... I'm genuinely conflicted with this story of the heavily pregnant young woman who left for ISIS held lands and to be a bride to an ISIS fighter. My soft liberal side says she was only 15 when she went there, was clearly brainwashed and deserves a chance at rehabilitation. Every other single bit of me says that she's made her bed now let her lie in it. The ONLY reason she wants to come back is that there's nowhere else for her to go and no-one else wants her. She still holds exactly the same beliefs and feelings and is openly unrepentant. She openly chose another "country" over the UK and, as a minimum, aided and abetted those fighting against British forces and interests. I can see zero chance that she'll reintegrate into the UK and will likely be a persistent source of threat to the UK. If ISIS2 popped up then she'd be off there any way she could and sod any second chance we'd given her. If I were Home Secretary then I'd lose zero sleep if she didn't come back. I'd also be content to see her lose her British citizenship, even if that means she becomes a citizen of nowhere. We cannot accept people who fight against us then only want to come back because they've nothing else. Anyone willing to try to convince me I'm wrong? I would be delighted if you could as it does make me feel a bit grubby cutting off a young woman like that from any hope of rehabilitation.

Bedford Roughyed Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 British citizen so our problem. I wouldn't necessary go and get her mind you. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

I assume we do have some treason type laws still, so throw the book at her using them. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Marauder Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I'd make her clear a minefield with a 14 pound hammer before coming back, I joined the army at 15 and by the time I was 19 I was a section commander in Belfast.

RidingPie Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I too am conflicted, however I probably lean on the side that we should get her (parts of my family would burn me for saying this). Thing is, an underage girl was, essentially groomed online, and ran off to join, I don't want to use the word cult, but its pretty close in this instance. Had she been groomed and raped by a priest (on the understanding that underage sex can never be consensual), or groomed and joined some other religious cults, then she would be offered a lot of support.

The only laws really that could be 100% guaranteed to succeed would be the membership of a proscribed organisation ones. Even then, do we really want to just lock her up where she could influence others in her prison?

And, ultimately, she is a British citizen. We can't avoid things because they are hard. If we are Christian we have to believe in salvation.

Marauder Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 We went soft around 1998. Under the law of the United Kingdom, high treason is the crime of disloyalty to the Crown. ... The last treason trial was that of William Joyce, "Lord Haw-Haw", who was executed by hanging in 1946. Since the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 became law, the maximum sentence for treason in the UK has been life imprisonment.

She is showing zero recognition that she might be wrong, she simply wants to come here because she has nowhere else to go. If she had just joined a cult, even if she openly said she didn't regret a second, that's different as that's not a military state fighting us and responsible for innocent deaths. That's the trigger for me, fight against Britain for a foreign power and you're effectively saying you don't want your British citizenship any longer.

DavidM Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 She and others like her lost all their rights when they decided to go and fight for a medieval evil cult who are hell bent on trying to destroy everything we cherish , and massacre innocent men women and kids in the street , and want to decimate civilisation . Tough sh!t , rot away there . You made your choice and had a lot of time to change your mind . If I was ultra cynical I’d say she’s using being 9 months pregnant as a sympathy vote to come back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about the best case I've seen for letting her back in. Let her in, let her have the kid and then get it out and into the "system" anonymously and as far from her and her family as possible. Then treat her like Rolf Harris hanging around a kids party.

At the end of the day it comes back to her being brainwashed, as a minor. If she comes back and agrees, and commits to some sort of rehabilitation program then I'd still be ok with that. Otherwise I hope she finds somewhere safe to raise her child and they don't make the same mistakes she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
