I have lost all respect for our home secretary with his populist move to consign Begum and her child to Bangladesh. He is playing to the gallery (Daily Blackmail readers). Bangladesh is irrelevant and shouldn't be drawn in.
The only reason he is refusing Begum entry is because he has been advised that while she was complicit in ISIS's caliphate, it will be very difficult to prove that she actually did things that were treasonous. It will be a long expensive trial and there will be a massive security headache while the state holds her in custody. No doubt there will be vile and murderous acts by ISIS sympathisers against British subjects around the world.
Letting her come home with restricted living conditions (for her own safety) might prove the least costly and least dangerous course, all things considered. Unless her husband steps up and takes his responsibility.
