If Shamima Begun Somehow Managed To Smuggle Herself...

...back to the UK and then presented herself to the authorities, what could they do to her?

[wolf63]

I'm unsure about the authorities but I am sure that some vigilante justice would be instigated. I dislike vigilante justice intensely.

@16.17.So if a gang of violent paedophiles were to move in next door to you,you would be inviting them in for a nice cup of tea,wolf?Or were you being sarcastic?

[Atheist]

ynnafymi; What would you do? Attack them?

[wolf63]

No, I am being serious (for once). There is no place in a civilised society for vigilantes. Any criminals should be dealt with by legal means.

[bobbinwales]

Is this an example of the "so rule"
I think your [ost sounded a tad unecessarily aggresive ynaff

[MargoTester]

Well as she doesn't have a British passport you would assume she could be deported

[pastafreak]

There's some weird logic on here sometimes.

[ynnafymmi]

@16.30.Im Scottish,bob,i dont do non-aggressive.

[wolf63]

ynnafymi

I'm Scottish - I don't do 'aggressive'!

[sandyRoe]

MargoTester,
Where to?

[ynnafymmi]

Good luck then if Putin ever decides to invade Scotland,wolf.

[MargoTester]

Bangladesh?

[sandyRoe]

She's been painted as a dangerous terrorist. Would they accept her?

[MargoTester]

Why should we?

[sandyRoe]

She was born in England.

[MargoTester]

She's had her citizenship revoked

[sandyRoe]

True. But if she made it back to England what could the authorities do with her?

[ynnafymmi]

Bangladesh doesnt want the wee terrorist sk*nk either.Let her rot where she is.

There are over 10m stateless people in the world, she is not unique

[rowanwitch]

I think they would try to report her, fail, then I suspect they would consider trial before deportation but they would be hard pushed to swear in a neutral jury. I have mixed feelings about her due to her age at the time she left, there may have been an element of grooming which could be used in mitigation. I think sometimes we have to remind the world ( especially those who would do us harm)we are a civilised country and show we have faith in our justice system. If the worst paedophiles, and mass murderers have the right to a fair trial then maybe we should bite the bullet ,and close the book on this particular story.
