Actually, I retired at 61 having started work at 15 and worked continuously between.

Those not yet working may not be senile, but neither have they gained a lifetimes worth of knowledge and experience of all department of life.

I still make a daily contribution to the wealth of the nation through my taxes!

Well, on the basis the idea was you can't vote until you have paid off your student loan, I am not fully convinced on your third sentence.

I'm not surprised I didn't buy into the narrative that having arrived in ISIS territory all she did was play housewife to her husband. ISIS use everybody that's part of the deal rather like Sadam Hussain made all his key people murder his opponents so they all had blood on their hands.

Of course this goes against the narrative that the PR person has been pushing with the papers on behalf of her family.

I expect that we will see a tearful confession over the next few days that she was forced to do this even though she didn't want to.

One more point

I appreciate that I am out of step with many of my fellow Travellers on the right over this, and it is a disgrace about the lack of legal aid for the parents of those poor military police men, but how we deal with our 'scum', is what defines us as a civilisation.

This girl was 15 when she ran away. A child by our legal definition. If she was a day over 18, then I would be screaming and hollering with the rest of you without a single hesitation. But she was not.

Now her age does not excuse her actions in the slightest. But it should define how we, as a nation, view her. She should be allowed back into British legal jurisdiction (perhaps a military base until such time she is deemed no longer a threat). Then returned to the UK and given a second chance, no matter how much it sticks in our collective gullets.

Otherwise it makes us no better than the jihadi filth she ran away to join up with.

We have to hold ourselves to higher standards than those we opposed. And effectively punishing children for mistakes they made when they were 15 is one of them, no matter how loathesome the circumstances are. Because otherwise what is the point? What is the point of trying to resist all that is going on if we cannot bring ourselves to offer a life-line to people who f***ed up before they were old enough to buy a drink in a pub? Or vote?
