Why should she be tried here if the crimes were committed abroad?
Should someone from GB who committed a crime abroad face a British court? Should a British drug trafficker caught in Thailand be tried here?
I think she fancies her chances in a British Court rather than any other in the world.

You need to do a bit of reading because the answer is
Yes.

If that covers her then bring here back.

Great find.

 

[Allnightlong]

Surprised this hasn’t been quoted in any of her defence briefings.
If this covers her then can’t see why there is a delay.

 

[Allnightlong]

Because Syria aren’t in a position to try her.

If they bunged her on a flight to the UK, we’d have to deal with her.

If your trafficker couldn’t be tried in Thailand, then yes, he should face trial here.

It’s amazing that you think British law is so useless. Up until our last two AGs, British law was revered around the world, bar the odd British lunatic.

I don’t think British Law is useless but I bet she would rather face British sentencing than say for example US or Syrian

There’s a certain political party that wants to use her as an example of them playing hardball, hence there is a delay. It makes easy headlines for certain papers too.

Random. She’s British and wants to come home having made a poor decision at the age of 15.

How can you possibly know that?

There are a wide number of defences in law that could be available to her. Presumably you’ve considered them all carefully, but assuming you have, how can you possibly evaluate any or all of them if you haven’t heard the evidence in a court of law?

Or are you basing this view on what you’ve seen on the news?

I know, because she admitted it.
I'd just rather the government not spend my taxes on trial and imprisonment, when it doesn't have to.

It will when it comes to its senses.

I recognise empathy is in short supply these days and recognise that especially in you.

Theres little point in engaging with you.

I will save my empathy for people who deserve it, you particularly sound like you actually support her.

It‘s ok, the world has past you by. Just stay in your pasture and pine for how things used to be.

I believe she had dual nationality before being stripped of British nationality so technically she's not British but Bangladeshi, how many are arguing about her repatriation there I wonder.

If you could read this an explain as it’s confused the hell out of me.

Not according to the Immigration appeals commission I'm afraid, just as if you or I happened to be born in any other country we'd still have British citizenship.

Except Bangladesh says otherwise. So you have to at least accept the issue is in dispute.
