The decline of this nation (true) is due to the Conservative Party.

Yet more evidence of the leftish infiltration and now dominance of the legal profession that has been a part of their march through the institutions for generations.

Conservative governments have only themselves to blame.....they ignored it within the universities and sat on their hands. Indeed, conservatives have promoted these terrible people within organisations...I'm reminded of Amber Rudd being responsible for promoting Cressida Dick to Met commissioner.

This kind of awful upper class person who works against the good of the nation is the default within the legal profession. We saw it with that ridiculous decision on Brexit where they chose to make unprecedented law because they are remainers and now here because they are leftists.

They are insulated from any of the consequences but are part of the decline of this nation.

So 'surely we cant keep blaming everybody else for the rights mess all the time' becomes 'Labour Lib Dem’s SNP will always vote against any change'.

Presumably that means the Conservative Government simply wasn't in charge for the past 10 years. I think overall I agree with you, I would not have let them organise a party in a beer manufacturer.

My only concern is that taxpayers money will be spent repatriating her. Whether she regains her citizenship or not faces prosecution or is rehabilitated. She left this country on her pwn volition, had her travel paid most probably by supporters or her family. If there is a chance to bring her home then it is up to them to pay the full cost.

Not sure what more the government can do. The law is a blunt instrimunt. No government would ever make legislation that ruled that if a child travelled abroad to join a terrorist organisation theny they should have their citizenship revoked (as long as it doesn't leave them stateless).

Not only was this situation probably unforeseeable, a law like that would be wide open to abuse by the Governement. For example, they could say Huawei/Google/Russia Today are terrorist organisation and British Nationals working for them will not be allowed back in the country. Could be used to get rid of Alex Samond.

Governements can impose criminal law retrospectively. That would be an extemely dangerous precident.

We're not even half way through this story. At the moment, she can't get in the country. If she ever manages too, she'll be prosecuted. If she is still involved in terrorist activites dragging this case on will only delay and disrupt them from planning other attacks.

If this were a football match, the UK team would still be ahead. Here legal team have pretty much made a goal line clearance. Nothing more.

Absolutely. And at this level, how they choose to intreperate it. I think people forget, or never real quite grapsed, what happened last year in the attempt to thawrt our depature from the EU. How conventions hundreds of years old were turned on their head by Bercow, how the courts effectively took a purely political decision rather than just standing aside, as they should have done.

What happened last year was a full on attempted soft-coup to usurp the democratic will of the people. And in the end, Labour pushed a policy guaranteed to ensure the defeat of their own leader.

We truly live in f***ed up political times. Nothing else is comparable ever really.
