British IS schoolgirl 'wants to return home'

Everyone knows British values are:

No eye contact on the tube.
Hating southerners if you live in the North.
Holding Northerners In amused contempt if you live in the south.
Everyone laughing at people from Norfolk
Thinking we have the best popular music in the world.
Kebabs and pizza.

3 pints of stella!
leave means leave!
 
Something I read the other day claimed american denazification was more or less abandoned because of the cold war. Just a hasty veil drawn over all the rallies, the distribution of the protocols, american hb flirtation with fascism, Angleton's fash leaning....all down the memory hole.
yeh very much so
 
much denazification was skimpy at best

Far too many carried on with what they were doing under new paymasters, but another difference here is that Germany capitulated before denazification took place, however imperfectly. The report I heard of this case is that she's expressing no regrets but just wants to come home now, which leaves me pretty indifferent to her fate.

Meanwhile, that bastion of justice the British state is responding with (and I paraphrase):

"Good luck getting back, but we're not risking our own necks to get you out. Feel free to make your own way to a consulate and we can have a chat. Oh, and by the way, you might get done for recruiting terrorists if we have anything on you, and don't be surprised if the kid gets taken into care."

What else do we expect?
 
The Nazi's mostly stopped murdering people after the War as have armed republicans mostly Daesh and its friends don't appear to want to stop.
 
I've read the story, and I certainly don't see any reference to any terrorist actions she's even alleged to have carried out, unless you consider marrying and having children with an ISIS fighter in itself a terrorist act.

I didn't say she had. I was replying to a part of the thread discussing if she had criticised/renounced ISIS
 
This is a bit vague. What do you think should happen to her if she returns to the UK?

Of course it's vague because I'm talking in general. As I know neither what this young woman is accused of nor what she did, if anything beyond going to Syria,. I can say little about her. What I can say is that we should move on from tabloidesque expressions of outrage and calls for vindictive punishment.

IS doesn't allow women to fight. They have other rolls available for them and she would have known this when she left. Just because she didn't directly pull the trigger or do the beheading herself it doesn't mean she wasn't directly involved. She would have known this before she left as well.

Its more about her capacity as a child to make these decisions and what has happened to her since. Her crimes (actions is probably a better word) seem fairly apparent.

Fairly much, as well as ours the French and the Russians did. Not very. Although Pierpoint did kill over 226 for their role- I think they made him a Brigadier for the duration.

But the DeBarthication of Iraq was handled with far more zeal. And that didn’t turn out too well either...
 
I stopped doing all that killing stuff, after I stopped doing the killings. Can I have my therapy now please. And a sandwhich.

British soldiers get therapy regardless of the justice of the conflict they volunteer to kill in. I don't think that (the treatment) is wrong.

you're confusing the removal of barthes' works from iraq with the removal of the ba'ath party from iraq. the debarthesification of iraq was carried out with zeal, perhaps with more zeal than the deba'athification of iraq.

Visiting Syria and seeing the results of atrocities I believe.
 
So, who wants to sit next to her on the tube?

I'm fine with sitting next to her on the tube, just for the record. I don't want to sit next to her on the tube, she's from London, but then you mostly have to sit next to London types on the tube.

This seems a non story as a) Govt isn't going to pay travel costs unless she gets to a consulate and b) if she does she'll be flown back to Britain and go through prosecution/social services as applicable.

Not that prosecution seems very likely as as far as we know she hasn't committed any crime.

Kids that run away from home at 15 usually get into some fucked up stuff, see some things, get involved with unsavoury people and probably commit crimes too. Seems like we could avoid rushing to judgement.
 
It would be a bit weird to go to all the trouble to rehabilitate and then punish them. Lots of straw floating around.

Yes. He's been at it for a while now on this thread. I'm still waiting for him to tell us who in this thread is guilty of 'tabloid' style outrage.
 
well the Islamic state has ceased to exist as a country/nation whatever unlike Germany or Iraq so no real need or desire to keep former nazis around because they know how the place runs anyone with any responsibility in Germany was a member of the Nazi party it wasn't optional. That's why no mercy will be shown to torys at the public death trials based at Wembley :D

joining a murderous death cult that thinks going on a suicidal stabbing spree or driving a car into people is a laudable act rather ruins people desire to trust her.
 
The Govt. may well pay travel costs and more as she could be seen as the poster girl who went to Syria, didnt like it and turned her back on it.
She could be used as an influence to others.
