I think there is also the argument whether children are responsible for acts that come from grooming. Because that's a very dangerous road to go down.

Oopsadaisy1 well said. totally agree
She stated in an interview that she saw heads in dustbins and didn't think about it.
She and the two other girls knew what they were doing when they secretly left the country going via turkey into syria.

Did she show any compassion for those headless corpses she walked past? Did she heck. She made her bed. What about how much it would cost the taxpayer with roof over her head, protection, benefits etc as she would never work.
At last a good decision by the courts.

Apparently she could claim citizenship in Pakistan but doesn’t want to go there. I have no sympathy, she would be a big threat back in the UK, not the mention the millions it would cost in legal and custody costs.

She lost, and the judge said that the Court of Appeal had incorrectly treated the Human Rights Act as law, and not a framework that helps and guides the Home Secretary.

I think that's a very interesting point, the Supreme Court has said the Human Rights Act should not be treated as law.

She has shown no remorse and from all accounts actually agreed with the beheadings that were carried out.
She could recruit potential terrorists.
She should NOT be allowed back into this country.
She might have been a naive teenager but she isn’t now.

Would allowing her back bring unwelcome repercussions for us? If so then she has to live with her decision.
If not, could we show compassion?

That's the exact problem, PamelaJ1

I think we could and should show compassion if we knew for sure nothing would happen, and she could settle down and live a quiet life but we don't know that she will.

I'm not sure of legalities here. So is she now stateless?

I was all for leaving her to rot awhile ago, but after consideration I feel she should be brought back to face justice here.

And I could have written this myself, GrannyGravy13! I wonder what has made us change our minds?

It does worry me. I do think she was groomed at fifteen, and I wonder what evidence ‘they’ have that she is a danger. I am sure there must be much more information that the public is not privy to but I am not sure I would want my fate in Priti Patel’s hands.

There is more to this story than we hear on the news for sure.
She was a child. = fact
She should have been prevented from travelling in the first place. = fact
Citizen-stripping is against International law. =fact
What do we really have against her?
I know we have had this conversation before but I am inclined to support the people at Liberty who think she should at least be allowed to return to Britain and tell her story.

How would we feel if she was a child of ours?

I suppose there is the bigger picture to consider here, how many other terrorists would it open the door to. I agree she was very young when she joined ISIS but I do get the feeling she may be manipulating the system.

We deport foreign criminals/terrorists is it not right that we should take our criminals/terrorists back?

I was all for leaving her to rot awhile ago, but after consideration I feel she should be brought back to face justice here.

I think it is all so sad.
She was so young and totally stupid.
Would allowing her back bring unwelcome repercussions for us? If so then she has to live with her decision.
If not, could we show compassion?

I also think she was groomed. I'm not sure if I think she is a threat or not.

She is still married, her husband is Dutch, and he’s in prison in Syria.

I think she was groomed. I am not sure what I think about the decision.

I agree with the decision.
Only words I’ll waste discussing that woman.
