Begum

Shamima Begum is once more in the news with her appeal against having her citizenship taken away.

It strikes me that the government it making an example of her and using her as a warning to others who may be contemplating similar action in future.

When you look at it from a pragmatic point of view, this seems entirely pragmatic; however, making an example of an individual, purely on the basis of an alleged dual citizenship, is morally questionable. So it's pragmatism versus morality. 

Then there's the fact the UK is handing the problem over to a 3rd party - the Kurds. Shouldn't the UK clear up its own mess?

I still believe she should return to the UK and face justice here as she is a British citizen by virtue of being born here and all British citizens should be treated equally before the law.

Just look at how much the government spends trying to extradite white, British criminals from abroad to face justice here. Ronnie Biggs, is a case in point.
