Statelessness

[motorbiking]

Piecing together bits and bobs from the news. Currently it would appear that a person automatically has Bangladeshi citizenship if he/she were born to Bangladeshi parents. This citizenship is revoked if the person has not claimed it before the age of 21. So in the Jihadi Bride's case the UK is (arguably) able to revoke her citizenship and not make her stateless. By following suit Bangladesh would violate international law unless some other country would consider her a citizen.

Shamima Begum is not a Bangladeshi citizen and there is “no question” of her being allowed into Bangladesh, the country’s ministry of foreign affairs has insisted, setting up a clash with the UK after Sajid Javid’s move to strip the teenager of her UK citizenship.

“The government of Bangladesh is deeply concerned that [Begum] has been erroneously identified as a holder of dual citizenship,” Shahriar Alam, state minister of foreign affairs, said in a statement issued to the Guardian, adding that his government had learned of Britain’s intention to cancel her citizenship rights from media reports.

Your argument is flawed. She is NOT a citizen of Bangladesh, nor has she ever claimed to be. She can only be linked to be a citizen of Great Britain or of the now defunct & rarely recognised Islamic State.

Go back to your Daily Mail, by the time you've learned the skill of logical thinking she'll be back in the UK & diluting your benefits pool.

Its not my argument, its the argument put forward by lawyers who previously defended UK citizens over 21. She's 19, so still has her Bangladeshi citizenship until the age of 21. Read sirGals link

His (mot)argument is not flawed it vey much depends on who's legal opinion you want to take

Lord Anderson and Lord Carlisle both independent legal advisers to governments say that the Home Secretary may have a legal case

Ultimately it will go before the courts which could take years

There is also a Dutch angle with the father of her child being Dutch

 

[Notch7]

She is now talking of going to Holland.

I guess this may shed some light on it.

She would make a good wife for someone; those teeth could open beer bottles.

She would make a good target for throwing darts at, probably had more pr1cks in her than a second hand dartboard.

From the twitter article, motorbiking refers to, "I find myself flip flopping over whether I’m sympathetic to Shamima. She made her choice but it was as a child."
Hmm what's the age of criminal responsibility here in the UK again ? Ohh well I never https://www.gov.uk/age-of-criminal-responsibility

Has BAS hacked your account?

Has BAS hacked your account?

I think they are one and the same person.

On the TV interview, she came in from outside wearing that letterbox thing, presumably to hide her face from people like a good jihadist does, and then lifted the thing so that millions of people could see that mug.

Can someone explain the logic in that?
