Quote from: Richard Hakluyt on Today at 02:28:14 AMThe Begum case makes no sense at all to me. We have, rightly imo, said that the grooming and trafficking of minors is one of the worst crimes. This happened to her. Now she was a foolish girl, but foolish teens are ten a penny which is why we try to protect them.

I also hate the idea of stripping people of their citizenship. In the UK at least it seems to be that some people, brown people, have an inferior class of citizenship which is revocable. It is citizenship though, not a golf club membership. If a citizen performs dreadful acts against their country then they should be tried for treason.

We all lose out by treating citizenship as a trivial and contingent thing.


Yeah, I never understood why we didn't try her and then imprison her if she was found guilty. Government simply wanted to make sure there was no chance of her being out and about in Britain?

I am nearing the stage where I start hoping for a civil war or similar debilitating domestic crisis in the US. The rate at which Trump is creating international tention makes it very unlikely, I think, to end his term without a major war erupting and once one gets started it will be difficult to avoid it escalating into a nuclear one, especially with him in charge.
