So, if we deport foreign criminals (some of which have been here since the age of 4.....when do you become British? Another question!!!!) Why are we not taking Shameema Begum back?

Screams massive hypocrisy...no?

Jamaicans....a plane load. Don't get me wrong, deport foreign criminals for sure. But, if you are gonna push foreigners out, then take ours back. Can't have it both ways.

This isn't the first flight out, they get sent often.

Its not right as one was definitely 5 when he came here, got groomed into county lines at 17, spent most of his life in our care system...so he is a product of the UK.

But if you come over as an adult, commit crimes..do your time and get sent back...there will be no tears from me

Two questions...

When do you become British, to the point you have to be dealt with the same as somebody born here?

Do you not want Begum back? If you don't how does that work? I'm confused

When you apply for British Citizenship

Begum has dual citizenship, so they can remove one whilst still allowing her to be the citizen of another country. So she isn’t stateless

There is a difference between saying get out of our country, and we dont want you back in our country.

I really don’t see a double standard either.

Though I do think that deporting people who’ve been here since they were children (and therefore a product of this country) isn’t right.

It's a clear double standard. International law says you can't render anyone stateless and the British government accepts that. So if Begum wasn't entitled to any other citizenship no one disputes her British citizenship could not be taken away.

The Bangladeshis say Begum isn't entitled to citizenship there but Britain disputes that.

It's essentially an international pass the parcel, but leaving aside the legalities, its difficult to see how someone born brought up and educated in Britain (and who has never been to Bangladesh) is not the primary responsibility of Britain.

If Begum was white with, say, Australian parents does anyone seriously think we'd be trying to dump her on Australia?

That's what I was thinking. Don't get me wrong, I have no sympathy for criminals of any creed, or Begum. My worry is that such simple solutions for such nuanced problems can mean eventually that mistakes will be made...

It's no different to, say, Ian Huntley having American parents and thus taking away his British citizenship and trying to dump him on the USA. We wouldn't dare.

It's bleeding obvious to me that if someone is born, brought up and educated in a country and then turn bad, they're that countries' responsibility.

Wasn’t it fairly widely put about that anyone going and fighting for terrorist causes abroad would lose their citizenship though?

Priti awful Patel, the Home Secretary isn't somebody that I'd aspire to be like. The current government isn't going to be one that's going to have high moral, ethical standards etc, so we should, sadly, expect them to have a poor record by the end of their term.

We've had a terrible environment for the Windrush families and others. Theresa May created a hostile environment that supported the Windrush generation and families to be subjected to inhumane treatment, including throwing people out, to a country where they had nothing.

The Home Office needs a revolution but I don't see that happening, unless it's being directed to inflict hypocritical misery, wherever they think they could get away with it. All whilst creating divide and rule, pitting people against each other.

I'm generally of the opinion that people who have lived here since childhood or for a period, perhaps 5 to 10 years, should get equivalent treatment to Britons born here.

It's accepted you can't take away someone's citizenship and make them stateless. Hence anyone who did what Begum did and who had no other alternative citizenship would retain their British citizenship.

What's essentially happening here is that we're trying to dump someone who is obviously British but with a tenuous connection to a poor third world country on that country.

As I say, we wouldnt dare do the same if the tenuous connection was with a rich powerful country.

Absolutely. Imagine the outrage if we had someone convicted of terrorism or something sent here when they had never even been to the UK and had been born and lived their whole life in another country but happened to have a British parent.

Well yes.

Take this example. John's British parents emigrated to the USA before he was born. John was born in the USA as an American citizen was brought up there and educated in their school system. He never visits the UK.

He's a very troubled teenager and aged around 14 he starts looking at Jihadi sites on line and then decides to travel to Syria to fight for Isis.

He's captured and the Americans refuse to have him back and say he is a British citizen and he's Britain's responsibility.

I assume that the people supporting the government on the begum issue would accept that Britain would be obliged to take this probably dangerous young man with no personal ties to the UK because of where his parents were born?

If my Mum had taken me to Jamaica as a kid, I then grow up and then decide to sell drugs & murder people, and the Jamaican government then decides to send me back to the UK. That would be my own stupid fault, wouldn't it?

For good reasons no country in the world particularly wants people like Begum but international law says she has to be a citizen of some country.

Hence it seems to me obvious that where she has possible citizenship in two countries, its the one with which she has the greatest connection that draws the short straw and gets her. That's obviously the UK.

And when she came back she could be but on trial and if found guilty imprisoned, just like any other British citizen who committed a crime.

If you are raised and educated in a country and then later commit a crime. Should not the society of which you are a product not bear the responsibility?

Why should a country that has had little to no impact on the way you were educated or socially conditioned bear the cost of the failings of the country where you were based purely on your heritage?

no one is talking about the people who have committed serious crimes.... but if you are sending 1st time drug offenders back (those charged with carrying... not intent to supply)

It would be interesting to see a list of what the offences were, along with a list of previous convictions. I’d be willing to wager that the majority of those people had an extensive offending history.

Some of those who avoided deportation due to the court ruling had committed manslaughter and r.a.p.e
