Listening to the radio this morning, it would appear (as I believed) that there are people who would still want her back here, for various reasons.
I ask, what are the pro’s and con’s for this girl returning to Britain...
Con’s;
- She has shown no contrition
- She would be a danger to the public
- She could radicalise more people
- She would be a poster girl for extremists
- Millions of taxpayers money wasted
- It would act as an anti-deterrent
- It would insult the men & women who gave their lives fighting this death cult
- It would insult the men & women who still fight this death cult today
I can’t think of a single Pro. And you certainly aren’t going to find enough pro’s to outweigh those very serious con’s.
Devils advocate hat on, but equally compelling arguement
what are the pro’s and con’s for this girl evading justice ?
Struggling to personally think of any pro's but going back over the thread, here are some I found
Pro's
It will save on Legal costs
it will save on prison costs
she will not be able to influence anyone whilst over here
Its one less brown baby in the UK
It avoids any legal precedent for further cases (as it hasn't gone through legal channels)
Cons
She will still be legally innocent
She will not be punished
She is free from UK monitoring
She is free to radicalise over the internet without fear of capture and punishment
Anyone else who is willing to go overseas for extremism knows that they are likely to get away scott free as long as they don't want to live here.
As no legal precedent has been set then it doesn't have to be applied to everyone convicted of being involved in terrorist offences (its both a pro or a con, depending on what your point of view is )
As for the Manchester comments, I am sure that the parents of those killed in Manchester are over the moon that due to the home office a believed member of Isis, who has gone on record as agreeing with the death of their loved ones has been allowed to avoid Justice .
She has avoided Justice , had she not gone to the press saying she wants to come home, stirred up public outrage with later comments and given a Home secretary a free pass to public favour , she might well have been arrested , charged and jailed
Now we have just washed our hands of her
