It's a complicated one for me. I'm all for second chances but she knew who was joining and has shown no remorse. If she wasn't a young woman with a child would people feel differently. I personally don't know what to think on this.
Wouldn’t the spooks want to talk to her to get as much information as possible to help keep the troops safe over there?
Agreed it is tough for the child who is innocent plus she has aleady lost two but not sure if that was illness, disease or injury? For that reason alone she should be allowed home for the child’s sake.

Re: Hey limeys
FWIW, my very lefty British cousins are scared shitless. They also resent (as would I if I lived there) the Tories taking advantage of this as if they have been historically welcoming to the Jewish community. Which we know is ridiculous. It reminds me of the situation with Omar here - now all of a sudden, all of these republicans are trying to take advantage of the situation. They said nothing when Trump said there were good people on both sides at the neo nazi march, or when Steve King opened his trap.Flex wrote: ↑18 Feb 2019, 1:03pmMrs. B has brought this up before, but while most of the thinking given by these splitters is eye-rolling centrist nonsense, the issue with anti-semitism seems salient.

Re: Hey limeys
Speaking of which, help me out here because I'm having trouble seeing her comments as necessarily trafficking in anti-Semitic tropes. Lobbying organizations do use money to buy influence, either to grease certain wheels or outright bribery. That's pretty much the working method of all major lobbying organizations—we can help you out if you help us, and money is the fuel. Just because anti-Semitism frequently uses the trope of the sinister Jew using money to subvert justice, does that mean we can never assert that a pro-Israel lobbying organization engages in that shit—because it's a lobbying organization, not because it's Jewish—without being called anti-Semitic? But I'm happy to be corrected here if I'm missing aspects of this story.

Re: Hey limeys
I think part of it is that she has a pretty well documented history of making antisemitic statements. And she hasn't called out any other lobbying groups which have a bigger influence than even AIPAC.

Re: Hey limeys
She wasn't actually saying that in so many words. She doesn't come across as being too bright to me. You can hear the propaganda that has been brainwashed into her. And remember where she is and where she will be going back to. She said the retalliation was justified but the killing of the innocents was not warranted any more than the killing of innocents there was.101Walterton wrote: ↑19 Feb 2019, 5:24pmAfter saying the Manchester bombing was justified, prison is probably the safest place for her.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Feb 2019, 6:51pmYes but what if she is then jailed?101Walterton wrote: ↑18 Feb 2019, 4:54pmShe would know a lot albeit inadvertently.Marky Dread wrote: ↑18 Feb 2019, 4:35pmI have no idea regards the tactical side of things.

I agree her coming back here now is a very bad idea. Someone will find out where she is and will hurt her. By stripping her of her British citizenship may just be the best wat to keep her and her child safe(er).
Now if we could only strip those other terrorists (the Royal family) of their citizenship also.

Re: Hey limeys
This all has a weird resemblance of sorts to what happened in Canada in the 80s and 90s. So, in the early 80s, the Canada, led by the Liberals, gained true constitutional independence from Britain, which involved constructing our own constitution. At the time, Quebec was led by separatists who weren't exactly on board with what the rest of Canada wanted in a constitution, which led to it being passed without Quebec's support. A few years later, the Conservatives are led by Brian Mulroney, from Quebec, who strikes his own deal with French nationalists to get what they want into the constitution. The Tories sweep Quebec in the '84 election and he begins constitutional talks to satisfy the nationalists. A deal is made but fails to be ratified in several provinces, which leads to another plan and a national referendum, which also fails. Meanwhile, conservatives outside of Quebec, especially on the prairies, feel that Mulroney is too pro-Quebec and they split off into a populist party, while Quebec nationalists, bitter over the constitutional failure, form their own federal separatist party. The effect is that the federal Conservatives were utterly gutted, and in the 1993 federal election the governing Tories went from 169 seats … to 2. (The social democrats were also almost wiped out.) So parliament was dominated for the next decade by the Liberals faced by conservative populists and French nationalists. All set in motion by Mulroney's playing footsie with the nationalists who felt betrayed by the Liberals over the constitution. (There was also another referendum in Quebec to secede in the 90s, which barely failed. Part of the fall-out from that was a scandal that ended up consuming the federal Liberal government.)
Sound anything like what David Cameron unleashed by agreeing to that stupid Brexit referendum?
