British IS schoolgirl 'wants to return home'

I reckon Pickman's has converted him.

He'll be on here soon, banging on about class war and what a bunch of arseholes Brewdog are.
he's been banging on about class war for a long time now. and if anyone will have converted him about brewdog it'll have been the eloquent exposition of editor's arguments, not my few contributions on that thread. or maybe he just likes beer, and not the slop brewdog sell
 
If Jeremy Corbyn had won the election, then there would be no more port pies in the shops or beer in the pubs, and Sunday would be a normal day of the week.

I pleases to see that Rees Mogg agrees that there should be only one class of Uk citizen.

Pending any further appeal to the Supreme Court, that may be the status of the action atm. But, if the EC(ourt)HR found in favour of Begum, that would mean that the UK state had acted unlawfully as the provisions of the Convention were incorporated into UK law under the 1998 HR Act.

That's what would need to be considered. So far the process through the UK courts has been about whether Javid acted unlawfully under UK law. Did he de jure make her stateless? Several courts and hearings have said he didn't. Whether or not he did de facto could be another matter but that's outside the remit of the UK system. I'd expect that Begum's lawyers will be asking the ECHR to rule on whether or not she was de facto made stateless by Javid's decision, the legal implications of that if she was, and did it breach her human rights.

There'll be a lot of people eating humble pie if any appeal succeeds
 
The echr is part of the UK legal system. Otherwise it'd have no jurisdiction here and there'd be no avenue for appeal from UK sc

The UK is obliged to uphold EU and International law. As I said before, I don't know what that is with regards to de facto/de jure statelessness. It's clear from multiple rulings now that none of the UK courts believed they were obliged to consider anything other than the word of the law. If the ECHR rules that that was incorrect, so be it.
