Much as I'd like to see her back in the UK and living at the tax payers'expense, I suspect she would make a good living here if she got a half decent agent to manage her PR. Perhaps that would be even better than her living off benefits; living well and expressing her opinions regularly via the media. :lol:

And spending time telling other young vulnerable girls that the Caliphate was/is the place to be.

I can see your thinking. :thumbup:

They can't ever get rid of her.
She's not going to go hula-wula-bang, all she'll do is feature in loads of articles which will get the Daily Mail readers incandescent with rage. Imagine if she came back and then lived on benefits. They'd be the ones that'd explode then - from their own fury.
Don't think you've thought this through. She would become a poster girl for radicalisers, and just think of the priceless propaganda value of blaming the deaths of her three children on the UK government.

I suspect the current decision is an attempted vote winning appeasement strategy from a dirty government clinging to their waning dirty, fear-zone supporters.

Do I understand you correctly? Are you complaining about the government doing what it thinks the people want it to do?

My thoughts exactly. I have no issue with this person, it is what she represents to the propaganda machine for Islamic extremism.

We can’t allow any more of those vile creatures to infest our little island. It’s bad enough already and the march of extreme liberalism will allow things to get worse before society realises that some humans are just downright evil.

All that does is remind us all how only one generation ago, so called developing nations were literally being run by savages.

Colonialism is a dirty word only to softy left wing liberals. They really have no idea what the world is really like having grown up in a safe bubble created by the very warfare they now decry. It is times like these we all need to decide whose side we are on.

No, this island should remain English. I don't know WTF Bangla are, but in my book 'English' embraces people of all colours (and creeds) as long as they subscribe to wanting to fit in with OUR culture.

If however people want to change England so that it resembles somewhere else, eg Iraq/Iran/Bangladesh/wherever, then sorry, they are NOT welcome, even if they are white as driven snow and CofE to boot. If they like 'somewhere else' so much they should go there.

If that is being a 'little Englander' I will wear the badge with pride.

I think you know what I mean. Cornwall, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Yorkshire, wherever. All different, but all adhere to something we all recognise. Most immigrants support that, many came here because of that. A few don't and want to change this country to something else.

I know what you meant, but I was pointing out that England is not the UK.
