Excellent news. IS recruit Shamima Begum is no longer British-- and rightly so. 

Such traitors, who renounce British culture and laws to go and support a barbaric terrorist organisation, don’t deserve to retain their citizenship. 

We have enough home-grown jihadists to fight, without importing an allegedly regretful lunatic back onto our shores. How she has the nerve to want to return when the organisation she supports has murdered, raped, enslaved, and expelled millions of innocent people is beyond me. 

Let this be a lesson to all Islamist fanatics who think they can turn against this country and then be forgiven, whilst having blood on their hands. We have been far too lenient with Islamism in the UK. Too politically correct. Too afraid of being accused of racism and Islamophobia. This has handed power over to people like Begum, and her family who insist, despite never having joined their daughter, that she is “innocent”. 

Nothing in British culture celebrates the barbaric cruelty of IS. Begum claims to have been deceived. I don’t care if she was. In Britain, she has equal rights and equal access to all public institutions. She would live under the rule of law and have recourse to the law if she was wronged. She CHOSE to join Islamic State and for all we know, she would have had no intention of returning had it not suddenly been convenient for her.
