Shamima Begum can't return to UK (updated)

[Shabu]

She's born & raised East End girl so almost certainly a West Ham fan.

Sign her up for the Hammerettes. Fantastic exposure for the club and, given that she's obviously a go-getter, she could advise Moyes on tactics.

Any other national problems you want me to deal with just dial 1-800-Shabllfixit

I see one flaw in your plan, it's shallow but a flaw none the less. Traditionally Hammerettes don't look like Bernie Winters tackling a particularly troublesome bowel movement........

I mean, "Shabu" is a contraction of "SHAmima BegUm". And, I've never seen the pair of you in the same room at the same time.

That's not a flaw, that's a positive. We need to evolve & diversify.

I'm also proposing Iain Dowie becoming a Hammerette.

Here's hoping :arry: never becomes a Harriet

If that don't persuade her to stay in Syria, nothing will.

Review in Grauniad (no, I haven't listened to it yet) by Zoe Williams

"Look, there’s no gilding this: if you are British-born but have the possibility of a dual nationality as a second-generation immigrant, you do not have the same rights as, say, I do"

Have read the article thoroughly and cannot make sense of that statement.

Anyway, aside from that, she's a young woman who has had three children die. That would be a catastrophic experience which you'd think would involve deep, professional counselling in the UK. Yet I haven't read anything that alludes to SB's feelings or experience of this. Maybe it's out there somewhere. I think this has led a lot of us to assign to her a 'cynical' or immature and uncaring attitude = 'monster'.
Maybe the details are being kept away from the press by rules of medical confidentiality? Maybe she hasn't recieved counselling at all?

Shamima Begum ‘will exploit any error to regain citizenship’

Former IS bride believes that if she wins appeal, the UK will be unable to render her stateless in future, court told

On Tuesday, the Court of Appeal was told of claims that Sajid Javid, the then home secretary, should have properly investigated whether the state had failed in its duty to protect Miss Begum.

Miss Begum was aged just 15 when she travelled from Bethnal Green, east London, to Islamic State-controlled territory in 2015.

Her legal team claimed that Mr Javid’s failure to do so was a breach of Article Four of the European Convention on Human Rights and therefore rendered invalid his decision to revoke her British citizenship shortly after she was found in a Syrian refugee camp.

I'm sure that there are legal opinions, but how the State failed to protect her when she travelled is beyond me. if they prevented her from travelling would they have infringed on her right to travel ? but by letting her travel they failed to protect her ? obviously this is a complicated legal position but as a lay person, I don't see how you can do both.

I guess we'll find out eventually.......

Good god what a blast from the past.

She's gotta be older than Lucas Digne by now, surely?

[Patsy Belgium]

Rahman wants her back as a Labour councillor.

[sendô]

She'll have a season ticket at Celtic Park soon.

The Court of Appeal is to rule on Shamima Begum's bid to overturn the government's decision to strip her of her British citizenship today .

The Court of Appeal has unanimously dismissed her appeal against removal of her UK citizenship.

All five grounds of her appeal were rejected.

When's her next appeal?
