Shamima Begum

So she needs to apply for Bangladeshi citizenship, have that rejected and then ask to return to the U.K. to face charges.

Then the government will be on their sticky wicket and have to bring her back.

Lots of noise for populist support, but ultimately meaningless.

This sums up their modus operandi to a tee across their whole term.
Possibly you may be right,not sure she has to apply for it though just as you or I wouldn't assuming we were born abroad and our parents were both British we'd inherit British citizenship, just has she has inherited Bangladeshi citizenship.Now if Bangladesh doesn't want sod all to do with her just who's made her stateless us or them.

She doesn’t have it currently. All children born of Bangladeshi parents anywhere have the option to apply for their citizenship, but she has never done so. She is solely British at the moment, well, stateless really.

The government spotted a loophole to prolong the situation. Bangladesh have already said that her application for citizenship will be rejected.

I guess she will have to formally apply and get rejected before the government will have to concede that they’ve made a publicity stunt and repatriate her, like countless other people that went to Syria to fight for ISIS.

Not to sure that's correct mate under Bangladeshi law any person born to a Bangladeshi automatically inherits citizenship under bloodline law, which lapses when they're 21 and her right to British citizenship was removed prior to that. So it's now a matter of debate for the law as to who's removing her citizenship which wasn't us as we removed her citizenship of this country in "the public good".As she had duel nationality in practice she then became a Bangladeshi citizen.

She never applied for it, so doesn’t have it. It is automatic should they apply.
 
Again automatically in Bangladeshi law from birth is how the British legal system has viewed it, the supreme court has upheld it. I don't think she'll be tramping our streets in the near future.
Until she applies and fails for Bangladeshi citizenship, as I outlined in my first post of this conversation.
 
She's now 22, her Bangladeshi citizenship was dormant, she made no attempts to activate it prior to her being stripped of British citizenship and no attempts afterwards. So she is now stateless as her right to apply for Bangladeshi citizenship has lapsed.

How would a detainee in Syria who doesn't speak bengali fund an application (which is pointless anyway, because it would be immediately rejected) without any access to funding?

Her only access to funding to fight her citizenship revocation in the UK is through legal aid.

It was an incredibly stupid and pig headed thing to do because unlike Jihadi Jack and Canada, there isn't a Liberal democracy that will apply the rule of law in this case.
