Shamima Begum

So I'll ask you again, what possible good would bringing her back to our country do?

What good does bringing any criminal back from abroad do?
Why not just leave them there when they commit a crime and run abroad?
What is the need for extradition treaties we have with countries around the world?

Having watched 'The walk in' the true story about a neo Nazi that changed his ways and then lectured about the movement, also trying to infiltrate and bring them down, I think there could be some merit in bringing her back, if she truly is remorseful, so she can use her experience to deradicalize others.

For every “one” that changed their opinions and actions there’s many more that just can’t and won’t change their stance. Great story btw, The Walk in, have you watched the documentary about the real Matthew Collins?

She didn't have Bangladeshi nationality, she has a tenuous link to Bangladeshi nationality through a parent or grandparent, I don't know which.
Much the same as the English lads who end up playing for the Republic of Ireland football team.
If I'm not mistaken, the Bangladeshi government have refused to recognise any entitlement she might have to Bangladeshi nationality.
So that makes her as British as you, me or anyone else with a British passport.
The British government can't just wash her hands of her.
A case in some international court would be interesting.

They can't wash their hands of her, but they can give her situation a very low priority and leave her in situ.
And the current government know they only have to delay things for another couple of years and then it becomes Labour's problem.

Shamima Begum is not a Bangladeshi citizen and there is "no question" of her being allowed into the country, Bangladesh's ministry of foreign affairs has said.

Apparently they're wrong

Ye, it very good

I think you're probably right.
But a part of me doesn't want this woman back on British soil, because of her actions.
I concede though, you are absolutely correct.
Sometimes my emotions get the better of me, especially when it comes to the subject in hand, for reasons best kept to myself.
I thank you for the debate, I'll bow out of this one now.
Cheers ric

Pity the yanks aren’t after her, they’d bang her up immediately.

Thought she was from Yorkshire.
Isn't her dad Mr. E. Begum?

If she is from Yarkshire, no wonder she left to join ISIS....
