She seems someone prone to making fucking poor decisions - by going out there in the first place, and for not lying when asked how she felt about the attacks on the UK.
That said, her citizenship must be respected. All governments have a duty to their citizens.
But she was not abducted and smuggled out there. She still shows sympathy with the cause of IS. She got herself out there and, whether on her own or through the ministrations of friends and family, she can get herself back home. I see no reason why the UK government should bring her back - she chose to be there, she supports the cause, and her life is not at risk. She can get back on her own the same way she got out there.
If she arrives in this country the government must respect her citizenship.
And then face due proceedings when she arrives.
Proceedings for what "crimes" exactly? Being a bride for a terrorist group? Not a crime as far as I know, and "material support" seems a bit of a stretch.
Interesting to know you think she should have lied about her thoughts and beliefs, I think you have mistaken her for a politician.
And should she be tried as a minor given she was 15 when she departed?
That's an age when people are basically expected to do impetuous dumb shit (or "poor decisions" as you called them) without thinking about consequences.
I imagine every Frother thought and/or did some fucked up shit when they were 15.
Samantha Fox fantasies / war stories you sad cunts? Or was it dreams of the Foreign Legion?
