She didn’t have dual citizenship. She was entitled to apply for Bangladeshi citizenship but hadn’t, and although she would normally be granted citizenship under jus sanguinis, in this case the Bangladeshi government have publicly stated she would be refused if she did apply for it. Perhaps you need to do a bit of research yourself.

Judges say you're wrong

Nope.
The judges correctly stated that she wouldn’t be rendered stateless if her UK citizenship was revoked because she was entitled to apply for Bangladeshi citizenship because she was under 21 at the time. She didn’t apply so she didn’t secure her citizenship of Bangladesh. If she had, she’d still be one.

No she was eligible for Bangladeshi citizenship until she turned 21 without it. Now she is 24 she has no entitlement to it.

Thats why she’s applying for Dutch citizenship.

How does she qualify for Dutch citizenship?

Her husband is Dutch I think.

Is he not dead? So application as a widow? Would be surprised if she is successful. The right wing are in power so can see massive far right reaction there.

She’s not applying for Dutch citizenship, not sure where that has come from. Her husband suggested it as a potential course of action a few years ago but he’s in prison in Syria and no one has tried to progress it.

It’s not a viable option for her anyway. They were married when she was 15, the Dutch wouldn’t recognise it as a legitimate marriage.

So if the ICJ finds that Israel has committed genocide can we strip British Jews serving in the IDF of their citizenship on basis they will be entitled to Israeli citizenship?

A former Home Secretary wouldn't be happy if they do.

People are so all over the place on this it's hilarious, we could see a new thing where a poster may reply and argue against themselves.

With some of the professional arguers on here that’s pretty much nailed on

It’s the only way I can face any serious competition.
