A dog and a horse are two different species, humans are the same species regardless of race. I will give you that it does not make them British ethnically (Unless they have lots of generations linked to the UK) but British citizens yes

Still not their ancestral homeland, so again by your logic all white criminals in these American and Southern American countries need to be deported to Europe as that's where white people belong. Or are you saying that white people can claim continent wherever they go?
Five words: White privilege does not exist

I’ve skready acknowledged that legally their British, but ultimately it’s just a bit of paper.

Your second point is just plain ridiculous. White people built up civilisation in those areas and as well as by dint of conquest it is theirs- they built it. Immigration into western lands (and that includes the commonwealth, US and other white majority areas) are not bringing civilisation or setting up their own colonies in uninhabited areas.

theres a big difference between western colonisers setting up their own colonies and fighting off natives and some immigrant turning up to do manual labour and being provided with a raft of benefits.

What do you mean by white privilege?
Ok seeing as this news story keeps getting forced down my throat I did a big think beyond the meme I yote in here.

I concluded:
1) Bring her and baby back
2) give baby to grandparents
3) try her for high treason (she basically joined an organisation that wants to blow up the UK so you could probably swing it that way)

bob's your uncle, fanny's your auntie best of both worlds, achieved.

Nobody would say this about somebody who had committed murder or some other serious crime. They'd be brought back and prosecuted.

I agree but we are talking about a girl who ran away to join a terrorist group who would love to see this country destroyed and hate our values and principles

I was thinking more for the sake of her kid. I mean I literally said she should be tried for treason which in UK law comes with a life prison sentence so I ain't exactly being lenient here.

Absolutely wouldn't want her to come back and live a normal life. She's not even tried to pretend that she's renounced radical Islam.

That's setting a precedent that enables people to get away scott free tho. What if somebody did what she did and ended up living it up in Brazil rather than miserable in a refugee camp?

I’m saying she should stay where she is where she isn’t a harm to the British public and lost the right of being British when she stepped on that plane to Syria...I don’t think Brazil would allow a potential terrorist in just like we shouldn’t allow a potential terrorist in.....
Allowing her into the uk will set a dangerous example to others of saying do what u want but the uk are here for u🤮...instead of saying people should feel sympathy towards her she should be remorseful for what she’s done which due to the interviews she is clearly remorseless

I use Brazil as an example because its often a destination for criminals fleeing the UK as they have no extradition treaty with us. Ronnie Biggs for example. In such cases the UK authorities try to get them back in order to prosecute them. It isn't that the UK is "there for them".

For your first point I disagree, I find the notion that these people are brainwashed troubling. I think that in both cases these people often know what they are doing to a far greater extent that is let on even if they are legally children.


No doubt there are children who get involved knowing full well what they are doing but we still them as victims in virtually every other example of exploitation e.g. children in care who seek out a child grooming/prostitution rings because it provides them with access to more resources like money or even someone who shows them love e.g a pimp.

There is also a reason why we don’t allow child soldier to fight in war zones anymore (this in the UK has only happened in the last 15 years) even though I am sure you will find 14 year who are clearly more mature than some 18 year old because there is a very serious power balance issue between children and adults especially care givers.

Then since you need to be 16 to apply for your own passport and even then if that's your first passport you are going to need your parents help in practice to prove your a British citizen and there is also an interview too with an interviewer looking out for suspicious behaviour. As you can see other adults have to clearly be involved to put these ideas in these children head let alone help them get to Turkey and arrange transportation from there.

Where am I being hypocritical?


You criticised me for stating my opinion that these war bride (and victims of child marriage /sexual slavery) and their children would not be openly banished by the British government if they were white we would be looking at ways to bring these girls home. Then go on to call for the mass voluntary reputation of non white immigration which in the context of your replies on this thread immigrate means anyone in the UK who isn’t white and I can’t see why you have excluded white immigration.

I do understand there are concerns about immigration and I’m open to rational debate e.g lack of integration, crime or lack of investment in infrastructure.

The latter of which I would blame largely on the British government’s poor future planning:

a) the NHS crisis we have caused by the entirely predictable increase in old people as the baby boomer retired.
b) housing crisis caused by deliberately allowing and encouraging house prices to become detached from wages for short term political gain.
c) the unnecessary commercialisation of state School with academies and the opening of free schools in area which already had an excess of school places while particularly rural school in places like South Western England are underfunded.

Then even if you were to blame infrastructure problems on immigration since its legal immigration if we are going to blame anyone for it should be the government not the people who have immigrated here. Plus in the case of EU migration the British government has spent more time blaming the EU instead of using the powers it actually has to manage EU migration like not being 1 of the few countries to place transitional controls on new EU countries, have employers/job recruiters go to those countries and be shocked when those new members come to your country and if you compare the UK to Belgium it is quite clear the freedom on movement is conditional - in that you can only stay if you find a job within 3 month (its monitored in Belgium), can support yourself and your not a drain on that state’s social security system.

A dog being born on a stable doesn’t make it a horse. This idea that being born on a certain piece of dirt (‘magic dirt’) makes you as native as everyone else. I find the idea absurd and insulting.


My concerns are about the many moral and legalistic problems that come about from having a ‘magic dirt’ theory of citizenship.


It not about just being born here people generally consider people who have been brought up in the UK to be British at least culturally speaking just look at the victims of the Windrush scandal if they behaved like expats who regularly visited their place of birth and had passports that mess would never have happened.

Then I suspect you already know that just being born in the UK does not automatically result in British citizenship.

Then if your unsure what a British identity I am sure there some people from Northern Ireland who will fill you in.

“Uninhabited” - I like how you ignore the fact people were already living in the Americas before Europeans arrived and if it wasn’t for their help and hospitality its unlikely a permanent colony would have been succeeded especially if you consider the winters.
They didn’t try to peaceful co-exist with native Americans they actively disposed them of their land and moved them to reservations at best attempted a near ethnocide. Then if that wasn’t bad enough they didn’t want to fairly pay other to grow their labour-intensive cash crops to sell to Europe (a large part of what made permanent colonies feasible) themselves so they decided to twist Christianity to justify the enslaving of millions of Africans until industrialisation, the creation of a middle class and capitalism provided a better alternative in mechanisation and the fact an employer like a factory owner does not need to care about how you find food, housing or healthcare but it don’t change this mentality that allowed slavery.

Yes there is, immigration for the most part into western countries has being done in accordance with that countries laws and in many cases the government has actively encouraged people to immigrate. These people and there descendant for the most part integrate into the existing society.

While this clearly isn’t the case with white majority countries outside of Europe and you will find many of these immigrates (who in some cases moved as a whole village unit) went for the rumours of easy riches like gold or free land look up Homestead Acts and equivalent legislation.

Then are you saying you would support a group colonising an uninhabited part of this country who bring there own culture and have no interest in integrating into the existing society?

Don’t believe everything you read in the tabloids but do give some examples. Anyway if your talking about in work benefits like housing benefit that more of a symptoms of dysfunctional housing policy and a government unwilling to address the crisis of low wages in this country.

The context of your comments I would guess a white heterosexual man who do not understand what its like to be discriminated against so is dismissive of the idea of discrimination and think measures to address it are a conspiracy again them.

- as to the legality of it, we of course should legally take back these people and give them a fair British trial. But as per the above we should know that this:

-is massively unpopular
-endangers the public significantly
- will probably lead to more negative changes to our way of life
-will further lead to the inevitable backlash of the Alt Right


Personally, I'm of the view that need to be put on trial and face justice, and that this is more important than where they end up. It's not like they're going to get off. Make an example of them and make sure they feel the full force of British criminal justice. I'd much prefer them punished here than unpunished elsewhere. That said, if the Rojava/Iraqi/etc authorities want to try them themselves, I wouldn't be opposed to that - it's their people they committed crimes against, after all.

Ideally I'd want a special international tribunal set up for war crimes in Iraq and Syria like the ones for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, but that doesn't look like a goer any more.
I believe she should be allowed to return. From there, ideally, she would be prosecuted as per anyone else who willingly joined a terrorist organisation. As for her child, I imagine letting them stay with family, or into care, would be the only way to go.
We should round them all up and get them on a ship back to the UK...

... and blow the ship up in the middle of the Mediterranean sea.
