Shamima Begum loses appeal over British citizenship | BBC News

Shamima Begum has lost her latest bid to overturn a decision by the UK government to strip her British citizenship.
The Court of Appeal ruling means she remains in Syria with no chance of return to the UK.
Begum left her home in London aged 15 in 2015 to travel to Syria to join Islamic State group.
The now 24-year-old's lawyers brought a bid to overturn a 2023 decision at the Court of Appeal, with the Home Office opposing the challenge.
The Home Office argued the "key feature" of Begum's case was national security.

The act of burning your passport by itself doesn't represent formal relinquishment your citizenship, but the calculated decision to travel to Syria, join ISIS to live "pure islamic life" is good enough to deprive her of the UK citizenship.

We cannot continue to let the UK be seen as that naïve old grandparent to be taken advantage of.

I noticed how many people repeat conspiracy theories they read online, which are dismissed as they don't have any proof. Yet nobody talks about easily proved historical facts, that are different than what the media tell them to think. Such as as how Afghanistan wasn't extremist until the USA were arming and training the extremists there in the 80s against Russia. Then the USA didn't care what the extremists were doing in Afghanistan all through the 90s, such as females banned from education and blowing up ancient Buddhist statues, until 9/11 in 2001. Now after many British people were killed going to war with the USA against the Taliban after 9/11, the USA has given up and now left the Taliban to run Afghanistan. While our media and government couldn't care what goes on there. Everywhere Britain and the USA has become involved in such as Iraq, then becomes an extremist training ground to harm our own people. The only news channel which talked about those things was Russia Today, which has been banned from our TV and internet, and we think we're a free country. Also the when British people are harmed by extremists who trained in Libya after Gaddafi was killed, such as tourists being shot in Tunisia and blown up in the Manchester concert, the media don't remind us of when the secret service whistle blower David Shayler told how Britain was going along with the USA funding Al Qaeda in Libya to kill Gaddafi. Libya with Gaddafi was one of the highest living standard countries in Africa, where people didn't pay household bills. While old British people in Britain were dying of the cold, after Tories stole and sold off public owned energy to foreign companies. Yet nobody remembers reality, and think anti EU Tories care about British people, when all they want to do is make sure the British economy stays closely linked to New York banks, to keep us with an economy encouraging people to live in greed, debt and a permanent state of war.

All most people know about is propaganda in the media to make sure Britain stays a USA lapdog. Most people don't know that Islamic extremism hardly existed before the USA were arming and training the religious extremists in Afghanistan in the 1980s against Russia. While the USA were chanting against Commies, they were already creating their next enemy to keep the weapons manufacturers going. Then when Russia left Afghanistan, the USA didn't care what the extremists were doing there all through the 90s, until 9/11 in 2001. The extremists were blowing up ancient Buddhists statues, banning females from education, while making females walk around in tents and killing people for religious reasons. Why do people make up conspiracy theories about 9/11 that can't be proved, while ignoring actual, easily proved historical facts, about how Afghanistan wouldn't be an extremist hotspot if it wasn't for the USA? Also when British people are killed by extremists who trained in Libya after Gaddafi was killed, such as in Tunisia and the Manchester concert, no media reminds people of when the secret service whistle blower David Shayler told how Britain was going along with the USA funding Al Qaeda in Libya to kill Gaddafi. People don't even care our own government fund extremists who then harm us, to overthrow leaders who don't want to trade oil in USA Dollars. Our media were making up loads of propaganda against Assad in Syria, the ex NHS eye Doctor and his modern British born wife. Syria under Assad was one of the few middle east countries with many religions that live together in peace. There were ancient Christian communities who still speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus, but after USA involvement, half the country has been taken over by the Islamic State. Also if we're such a free country, why has Russia Today News been banned from our screens? Is it because they pointed out the hypocrisy of Britain and the USA selling arms to nations like Saudi Arabia, where many people don't have full human rights, while our media and government try to get us going about less extremist nations?

The UK definitely isn't the only country to do this. Australia introduced a rule in 2015 which automatically stripped anyone of their Australian citizenship if they had either fought for or joined a recognised terrorist group. This has happened on more than one occasion but the Australian High Court overturned the rule in 2022. Australia has also prevented citizens from travelling overseas because they are suspected of planning to join a terrorist group. I think at 15, you can make stupid decisions, but Shamima Begum doesn't seem particularly contrite.

The IDF, i presume is not a RECOGNISED Terrorist Group? Dont you realise what a massive RECRUITING FLAG the slaughter in Iraq was for Islamists? And now, the Gaza Genocide?

She wasn't trafficked, she made her own choice and now has to learn to live with it. She's unbothered by the death she witnessed there, and her husband will be out of prison in the next year or so.

Her father is remarried and lives in Bangladesh now, she can go stay with him. I find it funny now she's doing her interviews in western clothing instead of her Muslim garb. Did she really believe that the courts would buy that? Pretty sure she doesnt prance around her camp wearing these clothes. She would be punished for it by the other women.

Like every single illegal migrant that crosses the channel she wants to mooch off the taxpayers for years with a comfy life provided by the government at the taxpayers expense. The only difference is that she had all that. She was a British citizen who grew up with all the rights, protections and benefits that come with it. And then she betrayed her country, rejected it and all that it stood for to go and join a regime of brutal terro**sts. She had a good time with them and was perfectly happy to breed new little terr**ists for them. Until it all came crashing down as the terro**st caliphate wasn’t as strong as they thought they were and got crushed. Then she wound up in a prison camp for terr**ists and it sucked. Until a journalist found her and gave her a voice. Then she seized the opportunity to improve her life by asking to rejoin the very country she betrayed and rejected. She didn’t regret joining the terr**ists, it’s just that life in Britain was better than a prison camp. That’s it. Like the illegal migrants she wanted to abuse the system and weaponise our own kindness against us. Thank goodness that the British government was just about smart enough to see through her deception and strip her of that which she had already thrown away.
